If you have a stock cat right now you do know that you might have boost control problems right?

I have a down pipe, the rx7 store midpipe, and apexi gt catback right now and really like the sound. Has a good sound without being to loud.

I hated the rx7store midpipe. Can you say DRONE? My cabin actually got quieter when I switched to a straight midpipe.

humn I would call up Rx7.com and ask them which resonator they are using. THen do research on both and truly know which one is better.

I did the cheapest method. I went to muffler shop had them make me a MP with a magnaflow resonator. Total cost $200 bucks installed. So yeah cheaper, instant, and I didn't even need to lift a finger.

I have sold many of our resonated pipes and never had anyone complain about droning. All though I guess anything is possible. Probably more to do with the catback.

Recently heard the RX7 store resonated mid pipe on a FD and loved the sound. Then again anything would sound quieter than Apexi N1 duals!

I have the magnaflow and it works well. I haven't experienced any droning in fact I was surprised that there was hardly a noise increase.

I wasn't sure what to expect though. It seems everyone says that no matter what exhaust route you go it will be loud unless it's racing beat.
