since they have a good reputation i crossed my fingers and said yes.

i was a little scared about purchasing something i never heard about. i thought it would come back looking like it was spot welded by a junior high shop class.

looks nice
 
Is that a silencer installed?
Hmm, looks like A Greddy PE II. Maybe they buy it from them at a discount and just rebadge it so they can sell it for less.

Looks very nice. I'll hafta ask Chris or Ari about it--my old man needs to get rid of that stock exhaust on his new R1 :)

Dont_Be_A_Rikki 06-18-02 07:31 AM

what does it sound like? also are you running a mid-pipe and a down pipe or what set up are you running because it looks great just want to know what it sounds like?


-Thanx,Ryan

ttpowerd 06-18-02 10:53 AM

Looks to be a direct attachment to the downpipe so no need for a midpipe or cat.

Dont_Be_A_Rikki 06-18-02 10:56 AM

LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING:)
I dont think so!
it did come polished didnt it?

ttpowerd 06-18-02 10:59 AM

What??!?!?!?!

Bucrx7 06-18-02 11:07 AM

I think it's just a regular catback.

ttpowerd 06-18-02 12:16 PM

yeah, I think you are right....that first picture makes it look really long

it will sound just like any other cannister exhaust system. Apex N1, N1 Dual, Apex GT-Spec, HKS, Kakimoto...all have nearly identical sounds.

the word "shit" describes how those exhaust systems sound on an RX-7, in my opinion and in many other's opinion also.

but it looks nice and of high quality! :)

RedR1 06-18-02 04:52 PM

hey Q, what are the specs on it? Piping size? tip the same size as the Apex N1? Looks liek the GReddy P.E. II like Go Racer said. I need a new exhaust (along with some other things) so was curious on its characteristics

spooledUP7 06-18-02 07:53 PM

The only thing that I don't like about the canister style is that they don't sit perpendicular to the car. They shoot out at an angle. To me they look like they were not ment to mount on our cars.

As far as these mufflers sounding like shit. I agree to a point. They sound like crap with you foot off the accelerator, but when you stomp on it. Man they sound like a harrier jet.

rx7xrx7 06-18-02 08:08 PM

What are the other styles other than the canister type? What makes them different?

the greddy pe II is what i originally ordered. they called me asking if i was willing to try something else. its made by the same people who mass produce the greddy exhausts. its similar but not an exact duplicate.

here's an install picture from underneath the car. fit perfectly. only gripe was getting off the original exhaust.. fingers still bruised.

Looks good and like it fits good. Greddy is making a new PE?

Qball 06-18-02 08:43 PM

the muffler is not as angled as other canister exhausts.
its pretty much straight back.. its angled probably a couple degrees.

from above

its 3" piping with a 4 inch tip. its like a pe II but this one comes with a silencer.

HOW IT SOUNDS:

i admit i wasnt to fond of the canister style exhausts. it really has a nice BASS tone to it.. its really deep running around. Probably because i only have a DP and NOT a MP. the sound is managebable. I HATE fart sounds but to my surprise this exhaust dosent produce it. maybe when i get my MP i'll complain. on the freeway you can barely hear it. stereo isnt much louder running around.
i love the overall sound quality.

it is A LOT louder than a muffler style exhaust. my friend's greddy SP sounds stock next to this thing.

i personally like it. i CAN return it. but i'm NOT.. im pretty happy camper.

the silencer chokes it down to a 2" opening but i dont think i'm going to use it.
https://www.rx7club.com/forum/attach...&postid=772115

oh yeah.. performance wise.. it pulls like crazy now.

RX794 06-18-02 09:46 PM

I like it, especially that it doesn't angle out, instead it comes out at a pretty much straight angle.

oneflytrini 06-18-02 09:56 PM

looks badass..........but i kinda like the angled ones

i have a apexi gt spec with a d/p.......and i get a nice deep BASS sound........

i scare those little civics away:)

spooledUP7 06-18-02 11:46 PM

It's nice to see that RP has a nice fitting canister style. I was wrong about this one. It really doesn't anlge out at all. I guess I don't like the angled ones so much because every civic and it's cousin has one crammed under their miss-aligned plastic bumbers.
