Recommendations for type of exhaust system
My 1987 RX-7 SE had a few holes in its mufflers. It recently failed safety inspection due to this. There are a couple on the mufflers themselves and a few at the tailpipe and connection to the y-pipe. So that means I need two new mufflers and y-pipe. I have seen a few out there and wondered if anyone had a good experience with a certain type. Any and all recommendations will be appreciated. I did see a Racing Beat made exhaust at mazdatrix.com and wondered if that was a good choice so..... Thanks.

The racing exhaust from Mazdatrix is a good exhaust. A buddy of mine gave it lots of praise. However for the price it costs I could fabricate my own 3' exhaust from 304 stainless. And thats from the downpipe back. It also helps if you have friends that work in a shop with access to a welder and a mandrel bender.

I have the pacesetter cat-back. Sounds very nice and deep. Also price is pretty good, about $275 I believe. Its not all stainless though, all powdercoated black w/stainless tips. Also, there all duel tips on each side, kind of a unique look I think. I like it , but you might wanna see it first just to see if you like the quad tips. Ill post some pics of mine if youd like.

i have a mazdatrix exhaust that i need to get rid off. no rust great shape... paint and chrome are still very good.. deep throaty sound and not too loud at cruisng speeds 65-80. louder than stock yes... but not by much. full catback. y-pipe, with the two pipes and mufflers. the mufflers are a straight through design. $300. it netted me a 14 sec 1/4 so i guess you could say that it flows well. e- mail me @ fastrotaries@aol.com for more info or pics.. will be on the parts trader soon.

I installed the RB polished stainless catback on my 89 convertible a couple of weeks ago and love it. It is not cheap, and no one will ever see the polished Y-pipe (except for a mechanic), but it is nicely made. At certain throttle levels, it is a bit more throaty than the stock system, but at cruise and at idle, the sound levels are the same as stock, as far as I can tell. That was exactly what I wanted.
So, if you like a near-stock sounding exhaust, that looks awesome, and have some extra money lying around, then I highly recommend the racing beat system.
