what do u think about these?
Click here to look!
what do you guys think, would it be good to have these on a Turbo rx7 running straight pipes, help build some low end torque?
i know these would be good on N/A cars though

i think chrome tips look great
but i think if you have stock or small pipes and you put on a big tip and it sticks out like a sore thumb it looks like ****
i have a chrome tiped exhaust on my car but my exhaust is large in diamitor

I would be worried about anything that's merely a valve, and claims to lower emissions. I mean, seriously.. it's a butterfly valve (look at the cutaway), yet it claims:
Why isn't this done on stock cars if it gives you that much of an improvement in fuel milage, emissions, and apparently no HP/TQ loss? I'm sure mazda could have engineered a butterfly valve for the exhaust system 
Test proven to improve gas mileage and reduce emissions! Independent tests by 2 laboratories certified by the Federal EPA show that the Turbolator® improves fuel economy up to 8.3%, reduces hydrocarbons by 14% and reduces carbon monoxide by 12%.

JUNK! inline with those "tornadoes", their all gimmicks to take your cash. Also, any restriction in the exhaust of a turbo car will KILL power in the entire rev range. "Backpressure" and smaller pipes will not only kill top end , but kill bottom end and slow turbo spool up.

Either way, this isn't the place for the cost analysis of the Rx-7 club

and yes, I know to run your own website it's dirt cheap, I have a couple that I run off of my computers at home, little family picture sites using apache/php. It costs me ~18 bucks a year in DNS fees to do that. I wouldn't want to host any higher volume off of my house line, though. Of course, I don't have redudant servers, or load balancers. I don't even have hot swap reduntant drives with auto error detect/correction or data rebuild ability. I'm sure they add a bit to the cost.

I understand that there is probably some cost involved. But $1000 per month? Thats just BS. There is no way anyone would be dumb enough to run a "free to the public" site when its costing $1000/month to keep it up. Im not debating that someone is spending money to keep this site up, but filling it with advertising is just annoying as hell. Why not make a "donate via paypal" link where people can donate a few bucks.
I have seen MANY people that got their problems fixed thanks to the people on this forum. And im sure they would have been more than happy to donate a couple bucks for the help.

everytime I see your post title "what do you think about these?" and then your SN being RX7WHORE, I laugh out loud....
If you have stock mufflers, why put tips on them, dont they kind of already have tips?
