a) Your 7 will be a whole lot louder than before. Mazda put two muffler cans on that car for a reason, and just one stock can isn't going to be able to keep things as quiet as two.
b) Ditto on the previous backpressure comment. Look at the diameter of the y-pipe at the 'y.' It's tiny. If you block off one neck of the 'y,' then all the exhaust now has to go through the other passage - you're trying to push the same volume of waste gases through an opening that's half the size. Expect your power from the engine to fall (if she can't breathe, she can't make power.)
Why not keep things simple? Leave it alone and then do it properly, one time, all at once?
