What bolt on dual tip exhaust besides RB?

I’m looking for a nice Dual Tip exhaust in family with the racing beat one (M2 used to make one for example). Is there any other options? As far as I can tell for bolt on exhausts, there is the Apexi N1 (not interested), St. May and RB. Is that basically it?

There is SMB in Australia: http://www.smb.net.au/fullexhaustsystems-mazdarx7.htm

and the guys that made the dual tip imported by M2 are also out of Australia-- hitech mufflers: http://www.hitechmufflers.com.au/pro...?m=RX7&b=mazda

As far as the style of the RB goes; that's about it, really. Get the RB dual tip, you won't be disappointed. I lovvvveeeee mine. Sounds good and it looks very subtle.

You won't be disappointed with the RB. It eliminates "weed wacker" sounding tendencies of a modified rotary engine.

Thanks for the help and other recommendations. I emailed hitech for prices (exhaust looks very nice), so we’ll see. I’m not looking to spend anywhere near $1k+ (Like RE-A or Feed ,etc.).

For the RB exhaust, is it a straight through “split Y” type design? Also, how is it with highway drone at 50-70 mph?

Ok I just gotta ask what are your issues with the exhausts that you listed?

That is RB, St mays, APexi

From my experience the FD RB exhaust has the least drone of all the competing systems I've heard/driven/etc.

^agreed.

I had my RB duals with a resonated MP, DP, on stock twins and I had zero highway drone. In fact I loved it so much that I kept it after I went single. Now I get minimal drone but that's kinda expected though.

No issues with the RB exhaust, just wanted to know what else was out there that compares. I don't like the look of St Mays when on the car and I don't like the looks or sound of the Apexi N1 Duals.

It looks like nothing out there can compare with RB in terms of performance and price. The SMB is the next most expensive, then they skyrocket from there.

So right now it's between SMB and RB (maybe Hitech if they get back to me on price).

Thanks for the help guys .

No, it's not. There is a vendor on eBay that apparently got all their surplus when they closed shop and sells the remaining units. They usually pop up about every 2-3 months and they are new units, not used.

I have a 3" downpipe, high flow cat, and the RB dual exhaust; there is absolutely zero highway drone.
