Cool Aftermarket Exhaust that is quite

Just got my RX-7 today. One my drive home I know the exhaust was a little loud for me. Its a Borla dual-tip cat-back exhaust. I am looking for an exhaust that is much more quite. Performance and quiteness is the key. I am not a fan of the drone noise in the cabin either. Any ideas or comments?

Racing Beat Dual or the M2 catbacks.

I suggest you search - this is an oft-covered topic. You will turn up more results if you spell quiet correctly

What "dgeesaman" said. Those two exhausts are the only real options out there for quietness, and neither drone nor are they obnoxious. A plus also if you prefer the stock dual tip look.

And congrats on the new car. Details? Pics?

Yes stock cat is on now and the seller included Borla Midpipe with muffler (as of now is uninstalled). I want it to be much more quieter than it is. Should I put the mid pipe on or will it make it louder?

The mid-pipe will definitely make it louder. And BTW, before you even consider installing it, do a search, mid-pipes are a big no-no on the stock ECU.
