Yeah, I don't know guys I just want to get my car on the damn road since I doubt I can take it to college with me and I will only have the summer to run it. So I might, and this is a big might, depending on if I can just switch over my insurance. But I guess I am gonna foot the extra 200 and go with a N1. Anyone have any ideas how it is gonna work with a bonez RP? And since I live in Maine the car will be run in the rain so I am worried about the rusting thing but I am sure it is high quality and shouldn't worry right?

I tried e-mailing them about my stuff and got no reply. I guess the don't look at their mail to often. I wish they would get up with the times so I can order it strait of the net. They are losing so much business because they don't. I am going to order the CS nose from them but I guess I should order it now so it gets here by Christmas. I do have a question did they already charge you for the exhaust even though it hasn't been shipped yet?

i have ordered a few times from rx7.com and they were awesome, they even saved me a good chunk of cash at the border. nothing but huge props to the guys at rotary performance. But if you want a wicked exhaust, the full dual ss pipe from mazdatrix is wicked, sounds like nothing else on the road, great power increase and cool blue flames on hot nights!

no they havent charged me yet for it.
And I would go for the N1, but im 20 years old, and im trying to help out put my *** through college, pay for an apartment, and car insurance too. This hobby of mine gets damn expensive and when I see a deal like Corksports exhaust I jump on it.

Hey if you guys are looking for an exhaust try out www.Kakimotoracing.com. I tried to setup a group buy but it got deleted somehow. IF you guys want to buy individually i can set you up for the group buy price since I work with the distributor.
As of now we only have a single TII full catback exhaust for $515 US.
Shipping will take one month since they are built and shipped directly from japan. These are dynoed proved exhaust for TII.
Email me back at AnthonyC@kakimotoracing.com

I have had zero problems w/Corksport. I've ordered MS strut braces from them, and on another occasion, MS short shifter and shift ****.
Yesterday, I ordered a Momo "Combat" leather/carbon shift **** as one of the raffle items for an upcoming RX-7 BBQ and today I got a voicemail on my home phone from them which confirmed shipment and also provided the tracking number.
If you order from them, I would suggest you speak w/ Derek, he's one of the more knowledgable guys and has been with them for at least 3 years.

does dealing with corksport in general have this type of bad service? i am interested in ordering some small parts from them and dont want to deal with this type of thing. would you guys say this mainly happens with larger items rather than the small stuff?

Awesome pics dude!!!!
Any NA rotary with headers and a presilencer or straight pipe will have a nasty chainsaw from hell sound.
See for yourself, this clip is from an autocross I did last year.
I had headers, a presilencer, and a Greddy Powerextreme. I read somewhere that the PE was the quietest catback for the FC3S.
