Question rx7.com rp 50mm exhaust Qs

i may get flamed for this question but I need to know that's why I'm asking.

So I had to sell my RB exhaust cat back(needed the cash) and I threw on a apexi bomber exhaust. It starts as a 2.5 piping but then becomes 2.75 and then to a 4" tip. So it is alil loud and it feels like I don't have the same performace as the rb.

So I was wondering if the rx7.com 50mm exhaust would hurt my performance or make it better and quiet? This would make a great solution compared to a rb cat-back as it would be cheaper to buy while remaining stock. I have a RB header and a RB pre-silencer any helpful info will be greatful.

Sounds like you weren't living up to your sig. ^_-

Anyway.. Why not just buy a used RB catback for ~$300? It's not like they go bad at all..

Yea, that is a problem.. Couldn't hurt to post a WTB though?

And always be vigilant of your local Craigslist. ^_^

I don't think I could ever be happy with any exhaust other than RB on a rotary... Totally worth the wait.

Why on earth would you sell your RB exhaust in the first place..?

if you need that small amount of cash that bad, you shouldnt be driving an RX-7 in the first place IMO

You sell it, but have to buy a new one. So your profit is pretty much gone!

Profit, great catback, and a decent sound track... Gone. Must have been something important!

we got a lot of those Pawn shop programs on tv in Holland, i am always amazed how people are willing to sell an arm and limb for a couple of bucks to pay some bills.
I think those people need to change their lifestyle instead..

Pawn shops are almost non-existent over here
