Get the RB roadrace header and do 2.5 custom piping back from there with some decent muffs. I have Apexi N1 90mm coming back from the RB header. I had to add a cheap set of baffles and get the silncer (removeable) insert to keep the cops off me but it sounds good and flows killer. Ask Hypntyz about it i think he might have pix if I cant find mine.

From what I understand they will give you more TQ and less HP in the high RPMs.

....



HP = ( Torque X RPM ) / 5252

You cant gain Torque up top ( or anywhere for that matter ) without subsequently gaining HP

I might be way off, but from what I heard from the ITS guys the true dual will produce more TQ, so based on your comment and formula more HP will be acquired. Is it possible to gain TQ and HP on the low RPMs and loose some on top?

Damn, now I need to find a Dual and normal header dyno sheet!! Anybody knos where I can find this?

There are tons of people out there who will say single will out flow a true duel. But i don't agree. If you look at the high hp n/a cars (250+), 9 times out of 10 they have to run duel exaust. Rob at Pineapple Racing has spent countless hours on the dyno working with exaust systems. He has found that for motors that will make less than the 350 zone, they flow best with 2-2" mandral bent exaust. If you plan on shooting a large shot of nitrous through the engine (150hp+)you may want to run dual 2.5" exaust.

In anouther case, my buddy who runs a 13B peripheral port in his Rx-3 threw the engine in his 77 repu, to put some miles on it. (he did'nt have insurance on the Rx-3) He had something like a racing beat header into a 3" exaust, into a super turbo walker. It would run great anywhere below 7k rpms. Once the motor hit the power band, it would just fall on its face. The exaust just would'nt flow well enough.

On my n/a 90, i put down a hair under 170rwhp at 7,500rpms running a custom true duel exaust. I have since played with my s-afc to get a couple more % air flow...so i figure i'm making 170-5ish rwhp. As far as noise goes, its pretty quite, compared to a guy who lives by me with a header, stock main cat, and a n1 dual exaust. I think his name on this forum in noricerx-7. But anyways...i think his car is a little to noise for me, at this point in my life. (However, if you would have asked me a couple years ago, i probably would have thought it ok.)

To sum it up, you're going to have to pay big $$ to go dual, or do it custom. And to be honest, i can't justify the extra $$ for the mazda trix exaust. But if you have a nice welder around, and have some time...i say go for it. Thats what i did. My .02, CJ

Mazdatrix sells the true-dual header that is modified to open the 5th & 6th ports correctly.

You only have to worry about 6-port actuation and exhaust setups with 86-88 RX-7's.

dual exhaust is awesome, i have had mine for two years now, the car sounds crazy, different tips and mufflers will adjust the sound for you though. i had a race shop custom build mine, 2 " diameter. with 91+ ocatne, it shoots wicked flames.

I have something realy close like i said in the above post. I'm running a Racing Beat road race header (does'nt collect.) Each pipe then exits into a Racing Beat pre-silencer, then from there goes back into there own Racing Beat mufflers. All pipes are mandral bent and 2". It flows extremely well. We can tell this by the first time i put in on the dyno, it made peak power at 8k. I've seen lots of single exaust 2nd gens make peak power around 6.5-7k...but not 8k. The exaust sounds killer too.

But I thought you had a ported manifold? So you made power all the way to 8K wihtout a ported a manifold, damnnow I need duals if thats the case!

Hey, ive got an S5... so i dont need a header that has provision for 6PI actuation since its run off the Smog pump.. but, the true dual headers that Mazdatrix sells dont have an O2 sensor bung... what am i supposed to do about that???

just guess and pick a tube to weld the bung onto and assume that the engine will run right w/ the O2 sensor only monitoring one rotor???

weld in a X-over pipe between the 2 primaries and weld the bung on the X-over between the 2 pipes??

i dont really want something thats super loud...my supra is already too loud w/ an open Downpipe... oddly, i kinda wanted my RX7 to be the quiet car. Im afraid to use mufflers w/ fiberglass packing due to the tremendous heat the rotary will produce.

I want something that can make good power UNDER 8000 RPM... i dont feel like raising the Redline and want power i can use.

www.mazdatrix.com is the ONLY company that I have seen with "True Duals" I own a set and bought them from MT. Total cost with shipping to my house was 1328 USD for the ones with the Racing Beat mufflers.
