Please reply with comment if you've used more than one brand, you like/dislike one or the other, fitment/install issues, etc. Thanks

Bonez for me too. I didn't want to have to do any "simple" modifications since they usually end up burning up my whole afternoon. Plus rx7.com had free shipping on it...can't beat that!
I like it so far. Did make the car significantly louder than my stock clogged cat, but I'm getting used to it. Between it and my PFC I picked up a dyno confirmed 13 rwhp.

So don't think that your street legal because you have a CAT. What ECU do you have? I bet it's not street legal. Does that Blitz SMIC have a Carb # on it? Uh-oh! Don't get pulled over.

Whoops missed one
Sorry, didn't know RX-7Fashion had one.
...if you have the RX-7Fashion, please post a reply (I can't edit the poll).
I didn't included a Mid Pipe or the Borla XR-1/mid-pipe combo because I am doing this to get data on which is the best high flow cat'. Not nessesarily the highest flowing but maybe the least problematic or the easiest fitment and which is the most popular and why.
This is a little sidetracked but relevant to the point. I did research for my CRX and some were weld on, some didn't have the air pump nipple (for RX7). I also compared headers, Holley and Hedman are 1/2 the price of DC Sports but the O2 Sensor bunge is at the end, next to the Cat' (universaly placed). Some were painted instead of heat coated, some hung lower, etc.

Get a cheap MP of the net for $100 and get Meineke to weld on their performance cat for $150. $250 cat installed. Dave at KDR said the number on my "Meineke cat" is the same number as either the Bonez or N-tech cat - pretty funny how much the rotary companies charge, uh? Mine is much quieter than a MP but is a little louder than the stock cat.

Not everyone is reading this?
No one is using Pettit nor Random Technologies?
I know there are more that 15 RX-7 owners on this forum, maybe I just didn't word this thread right?

Thanks to those that replied
This will be a good search thread for newbies. Although, I don't know why so many people read the thread but didn't vote. Is there that many people that don't own A FD yet? This poll will self destruct in two days. Rock the vote
