well i have the RB header (with presilencer) and RB mufflers. Now for just a header and mufflers lemme tell you...its so loud! Like a ricey sound. Its just so loud that im suprised that cops dont pull me over for it.

Im looking for a new exhaust setup and looking away from RB's setup, that why i made this poll.

I heard the n1 single cat back sounds really nice and has nice power gains. I have heard the same from the RB setup, as for sound, im not to immpressed. I heard my freinds apex n1 duals and it sounded sweet!

I have also heard about the apex gt single setup. People say its so loud that it makes there head hurt...lol

So for from reviews im leaning over to the single n1 setup of rx7.com

the ricey sound is pretty damn annoying and makes the car sound like a pos, i dont think any of the single systems would make it better, they would probably make the sound worse. what im going to do, as many already have, is put a generic borla straight flow muffler before the catback to quiet things down, headers are godawful with the setup i have going right now. i suggest you either get a good presilencer or a muffler behind the headers, suposedly that will get the sound back to tolerable levels and you wont loose any noticeable power with a good muffler.

^ unless you have the True Dual setup, i agree.

you're running RB headers, and y-pipe/mufflers, but whats in the middle? a straight pipe? if so thats the reason why its so loud, get a presilencer.

then again if you have headers, you can put a 747 sized muffler on it and it's still going to be the loudest car on the road... well mine is
