I would get a stainless steel downpipe. Good ones are the M2 (www.m2performance.com) and the bonez from rotary performance (rx7.com), although most SS downpipes are essentially the same thing.

Why not get a mild steel downpipe and get it jet-hot coated?

the HKS dp has a dent in it to compensate for the right hand drive of the rx-7's ini japan get a m2 or a DP made in the US so it is less restrictive.

no talk about the pettit dp... I have heard that the pettit SS dp is very good quality and easy installation.

unless you live in a wet area just get the HKS. It is cheaper and on every exhaust product (3 systems for various cars) I have purchased the coating holds up very well. But I am also in south Cali.

Yes, coating on HKS holds up great, unlike the damn midpipe I got which rusted in 1 month.

I think HKS is still one of the few that you don't have to remove studs to install.
