Okay guys, two last questions :P

Lol sorry for making all these threads, i just keep coming up with new questions. Anyways.
1) Steering wheel.
I'm not a big fan of the stock rx-7 steering wheel, I have an 88 na, powersteering. I want to replace it with some type of racing steering wheel. I belive mine is a 2 pinion wheel. Can I replace the stock powersteer wheel? Do I need to find a steering wheel with 2 pinions? I've seen some one ebay with upto 6 pinions that say will fit in my year rx-7, and I've seen some that come with hub adaptors. So If i can replace my wheel, Do I just need to take out the two bolts(pinions?) hold it in and the just replace it with the new one?

2) Dual exhaust vs. single exhaust.
My car currently has a dual exhaust, what is the difference between dual and single exhaust?

LoL...

weight. I think that is the main difference.

I have heard that using a single exhaust throws the balance of the car off a little. But it is still weight reduction.

This is scary weird.

Yes, you can replace the steering wheel.
You will need the proper hub adaptor to match the mounting bolt pattern of the wheel you choose.

I have no idea what "pinions" have to do with this.

Ah, my bad I think im talking about the Hub. Alot of steeringwheels I was looking at said they would fit 6 hole hub adaptors, so Thats what I was wondering was how many holes the stock rx7 hub has, So i know if i need to buy an adaptor.

edit: ZZ sorry I completely Did not notice you just answered my question in your post above this, Thanks.

The stock steering wheel has 1 hole and no "hub". You need to buy a hub to put an aftermarket, 6 bolt steering wheel on.
