i just got my RB cat-back put on...


and well... i havn't noticed a difference... at all... except that my 3,800rpm hessitation is gone he he =\

please, some one tell me i didn't just waste a ton of $$

 

im sure it sounds much better HELLO?!!?? ...its not gonna add that much power to your car if you are stock because you still have the restrictive *** midpipe

if you don't appreciate it that much ill buy it...let me know a price and ill buy it!

 

With the catback, you're only eliminating the mufflers (although they are pretty restrictive)... You probably won't notice much difference though until you open up the entire exhaust... Sucks to be in Cali huh...

 

my friends got one and it sounds great. dont know about power wise. i got the apexi n1 catback and it was a big change.

 

NO CHANGE AT ALL

not how it sounds
not in power

...wait... it smells different and the cans are all shinny and pretty

im guessing (HOPEING) the presilencer will help

if anyone has one for sale let me know

 

p.s


SCREW CALIFORNIA!

 

If it doesn't sound any different then you either had really bad rusted out mufflers or you have a clogged cat... Or you could be tone deaf or something.

Is this a turbo or NA model?

The turbo's have a nasty habit of fragmenting the precat and stuffing it into the main cat. If yours is a turbo, try to get a downpipe and a nice high flow cat. You'll notice a big improvement in power then.

If it is NA then get ther RB headers. My buddy just installed his and he said the difference was like night and day.

 

NA

how much do the headers run for?

and wheres my HP i was promised?? lol

 

If it's non-turbo a cat-back really won't add that much noticeable horsepower anyway.

 

Your precat and cat are probably clogged all to hell. Mine sure were.

 

From RB site:

Performance tests on a Dyno Jet chassis dyno have shown a 5-7 HP gain over the stock system.

To sum it up, you won't notice any difference.

 

Exactly. Header back exhaust systems are necessary for *noticeable* power gains on the NA.

 

you have a na
it isnt gonna make power either way
dont worry

 

with a downpipe/midpipe/catback system...... albeit it's no rocket ship but definatley different than stock

I think the cats make the difference.....ditch em'

 

When I went from stock rusted clogged exhaust to header and open exhaust, it was like night and day for me too......... Florida= no emmisions

 

There’s power you just didn’t finish it. go to rx7.com, get the headers and the Bönez high flow cat and a Bönez street comp intake and there you go there is the noise and some power in one very costly package.

 

It'll last forever though....

Nevemrind, I won't get that started again

 

If you were to search my name back to like my firt 50 posts, you'll notice I made a thread about this also. I was whining about how the RB catback literally made my car QUIETER!

But yeah, the real power/sound is in the full setup. Or in my case, true duals.

 

You should show him your vid... Nice sounding exhaust fo sho...

 

Definitely check the pre-cat/cat. When I replaced mine with the rx7.com package, I found that my pre-cat had completely blown out into my main cat.

 

A catback isn't going to make a noticable power gain on any car Unless you had some really retarded one on there before... Just looks a little better and can sound a little better. Like the others have said, everything before it is what matters. It just makes it sound better mainly... Open exhaust gets loud and can be nasty

 

so i've still got work to do. That makes me feel a little better actualy.

arn't cats super expencive? i hope mine arn't destroyed (i'd still need something to swap out when emissions day comes around again

 

you thought by putting on a catback that you would feel a noticable difference in power?!


BAHAHAHAHAAHA!

bottleneck is all i have to say, find an eliminate those and you may feel something.

And no, it didn't smoke like that normally :P It was cold in April!

 

your car looks uneven
