what do you mean by useless? useless for takin fumes out? or useless it wont help make any flames? here its illegal to take them all out... so hes just gonna take out 2, wouldn't that free the exhaust up enough to pop a lil flame? either way, even if he dont take them out he still has to fix the exhaust... here there is no one who knows about rotarys, just one shop that charges $110 an hour, im poor and this is a pos, im not spending 110 an hour.... i've seen 3 rx-7s that actually run, and only 1 ran good, which he took it to the 110 shop, and paid like over $5000 for some regular **** i could have done.... i am a auto tech, but i never got to work on a 7, so i bought one to fix up and this is it..... i dont do exhaust work, or tire work either, so im just poppin questions out, i know nothin about exhaust, except cats get plugged up, and i send the car down the street to the exhaust shop, this guy is great at exhaust work... hes just never done an rx 7... soo tips would be great

 

Tune your tps way out ...

 

I can't wait for you to get pulled over and your car gets impounded, I don't know how it is in Kansas, but that's how it can be in Cail.


My car is loud as **** and sets off alarms unintentionally. If you're looking to have this car on the street refrain from redic noise and the flamage.

 

Hope this works.

First post.

 

Either pull all the cats and do a full exhaust upgrade, or none at all. There is no middle ground that would be advantageous.

If you are short on money, buy a stainless steel packed resonator at the local speed shop (won't be more then $100), a set of generic mufflers (avoid fart cannons, they are obnoxious and won't last) for another $100, and have a local exhaust shop fab up the system for probably another $100.

Don't pull your BAC, misadjust your TPS, remove your aux ports, run a straight pipe or follow any of the other stupid advice given in this thread.

 

hahaha nice
you could always just route fuel directly to your exhaust

 

Sorry to be unclear. Leaving in one precat won't do you any good from an emissions standpoint. Didn't know it was just exhaust work you were having done. I'm a big fan of doing all your own work when possible, but I too cannot do my own exhaust or tire work.

Soooo... yeah, I would listen to aaroncake. He tends to know what he's talking about

 

Agreed

 

haha what a thread..

 

well i got the exhaust done today.... i love it.... the guy ended up junkin all the cats, they were all plugged up... in the process he didn't put any back on, so now its basically a straitpipe, with the original "dual" exhaust, w/o mufflers or cats... i tell ya its a hell of alot faster than it was. it still needs alot though. but another day is better for searchin that... btw its not as loud as i expected, i might put up a video/exhaust note if i get the time to do it.

 

Like no mufflers? Just pipe?? And how much the exhaust did you get done? Like header to rear? Or did u leave the exhaust mani?

 

just a pipe from the original exhaust manifold all the way to the back, basically all he did was take out the cats, there was no muffler on it in the beginning. it does have the y pipe in there still with "dual" exhaust. the cat section is now just one single pipe, which hooks to the y pipe then that runs out the back of the car.

 

i want this on my 12a. i have full catless racing beat exhaust and i don't throw flames, why?

 

my car wont do it either... no idea why not....

 

My friend has a 2.5 inch exhaust from a custom 2.5 inch header to a huge *** tip he pops lil flames.. Nothing like flamethower ****..

I got a pipe from the exhuast mani to the Y to the " duals". Its like super kinked right after the mani it sucks I can't wait to put a full exhaust on my 88 na..

 

well if i drive slow .... its not too loud inside, outside, its loud, i tried once to see if i would get pulled over, and let it rip getting onto the highway.... and cop just looked at me, and gave me a thumbs up and he was keeping up for a lil bit till i hit about 70 on the ramp(speed limit), lol... so its good enough for me, kansas has federal laws... not cali... but it is an illegal exhaust, they wont impound it... you just gotta pick it up or have it towed away..... and fix it then have it inspected for whatever the problem was,.. and like i said its not as loud as you may think... compared to others i have seen around, mine is like 200th place.... cops really dont care unless you are being an ******* about it and revving everywhere you go, or doing something else way illegal.... you do run into those mean cops though

 

" I tried once to get pulled over, and let it rip getting onto the hiway... the cop just looked at me and gave me a thumbs up"

Dude!!! That's awesome!!! Hahha

 

yup!!! i have dual apexi exhaust i shoot out lil flames when i go up the canyon...and i set off alarms all day...like the other day my neighbors where having a party and all the cars where parked out side and i came home and most of the car's alarms went off

 

i did notice, this car does make the alarms do a caution beep, never set them off all the way... and only happened twice, and i was right next to the car, like pulling out of a parking spot

 

^^lol yea my old neighbors had to lower the sensetivity on their car cuz every time i would pull in their alarm would go off...

 

I have a 91 T11 with no cats or muffler. It sets off alarms all the time. Worst part is I live on an Army base so I have to keep the silencer on it till i leave post.

 

I was at a local met I parked in the middle to take up the honda spots... I was waiting far a fellow 7 owner he neva showed.. So when I left I revved out 1st... come to a stop and I can like 4 honda alams goin off... I thought yep my job is done!

 

^^ lmfao good job

 

Thanks you!! The first time I sent off alarms.

 

did u get a koolaide smile on ur face??? lol
