Review of A-spec's 4 inch turboback magnaflow exhaust
 

I figured since Sean just put this bad boy on sale (https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=676252) now was a good time for a review. I've put some miles on the car in the last 6 months, to include a 2000 mile trip down to Deal's Gap Rotary Rally, which was a blast by the way :).

The system is very light, well constructed, and is very easy to install. There are flex sleeves that fit in between each section, with large locking clamps. Because of the flex sleeves, you can adjust the effective length of the exhaust, to include the catback section.

I specified that my exhaust be fabbed up with dual magnaflow mufflers, one middle and one rear. I also had them use a 5 inch magnaflow polished rolled tip. The mufflers do a very good job of keeping the noise level pretty reasonable around town, and the droning on the highway was bearable, even on the long trip down to visit Herblenny and friends.

The system does work with the Banzai racing diff brace, but not the KG parts T-style brace.

I really like the sound of the larger diameter exhaust, it takes the raspiness out of the exhaust note, and gives it a deep mean tone.

Here are some vids with sound of the exhaust, use windows media player for sound:

It looks/sounds amazing Rich. Part of me wish I ordered it too with my kit, but at the end of the day I decided I did not really "need" it. Like I really NEEDED the 500r...hahahahahahaaa The car is looking smoother than ever, oh yeah and I saw the other edition on the interior...VERY nice.....

Great write up/ demo rich I think you convinced me to go this rout now. Anymore videos coming out soon?

dyno the damn thing already!

congradulations, davin approved!

Dyno coming soon, I promise....I just have to fly in my tuner from Charlotte :D

Nice review, pics and video!

seanfd3s, hope to have new vids soon of her on the dyno :)

bump for a badass exhaust at a killer price :bubrub:

Thats a pretty unbeatable price for Turbo back exhaust!($895 as per A-spec's thread)

Yeah, it's cheaper than I bought it for. Great price :icon_tup:

Just as a comparison, I recently rode in a customer's car with non-seq twins, dp, pettit res mp, and apex n1 single cb. Easy low rpm neighborhood driving. My A-Spec 4 inch setup is definitely quieter and drones less, and has a much deeper sound to it. I continue to be surprised by how well the magnaflow mufflers keep the sound down on my setup :)

That looks awesome. Makes me want to get one of those.

That's awesome, rich. I've never heard a 13B so throaty!

sounds good cant wait too see what she puts out

Hey Rich,

Great lookin exhaust! But then again, I've gotten an up-close-and-personal look @ it before hehe :p: Very nice :bigthumb: Glad it's workin out for ya well.

Oh and my scrubs & fingers say "I miss you oh dearest flex sleeves..." :rofl: (inside joke) hehe

that sucker sounds great, rich. is that the final install? How much does the tip extend past the bumper? It looks a little too long?

Thanks guys :)

:lol: at Ramalux :D

grimple, it's adjustable, I've since slid the grapefruit cannon a few inches inward.

Adjustable is good. Sound is good. Now put a cat in it:puke:This is after running over some debris at a high rate of speed

that's pretty sweet. congrats on the pipes.

ribbed for her pleasure haha

Thanks guys, I'm curious as to how many of these systems are on the road right now.....

I got my Magnaflow 16922 at MagnaflowPlanet.com for $443.98 and Free Shipping. They had the best price I could find and still have a valid warranty. Heres the link http://magnaflowplanet.com/product.p...uctid=6352?tw2

Now that looks and sounds great!

Wow, I miss this place :crying:
