Re-Amemiya SD Converter

Hi guys...

I'm looking to get rid of my stock cat and hook my seven with a resonated mp.

So since I really want like Re-Amemiya's parts... I'm really in for their SD converter

although i'd like to know if it's a resonated mp or more of a high-flow cat!

I know they offer a sport cat which is in other word the high-flow cat, but the SD

converter looks just about the same... so what type of piping is it?

Oh and I did contact Inukai at RE-Amemiya and all he told me was that the SD

converter is to be used on RX-7 without the air-pump.

Feel free to share info with me

Thank you

While RE-A parts are DEFINITELY nice, you can get comparable quality with an SMB high-flow metal cat. They also have a high flow cat and resonated midpipe all in one, really nice setup. I believe the SMB's start around $400ish. I LOVE mine.

I believe you are correct. The SD converter is to be used without a air pump. But I think its more of a high flow cat. Their is another model they make Sports Catalyzer, which has the hookup for a air pump.

ok i know this question has been answered many times... but the answers i get from the OH SO GODLY "search button" are somewhat not really answering the question.

So if we came down comparing mp vs high-flow cat vs resonated mp
would you rank them like that? (1 being high and 3 low)

Flow : 1. mp / 2. resonated mp / 3. high-flow cat
Highest sound level : 1. mp / 2. high-flow cat / 3. resonated mp

There can be significant differences between high flow cats too. I replaced my stock cat with a Bonez high flow and am not convinced that it flowed any better than stock (boost with stock ECU control did not budge). The SMB high flow that I switched to made a huge difference (but the damn thing will not pass smog). I would not get too hung up on brand names - you will be hard pressed to find a higher quality item than an SMB cat.

I completely agree, spending $2000 or even anything $1000+ is ridiculous and your just paying for the brand name at that point. SMB has everything you need at a modest price.

Although that feed pipe does look beautiful, only if money grew on tree's.
