The intense rotary engine exhaust blows out the spot welds on the baffles. If you look on the Flowmaster website or in their catalog, you will see no mufflers listed for a Mazda RX-7 of any type.

I talked to some flowmaster guys at their booth at the PRI show. They said exactly what Evil typed. I said "Thats it?"
What muffler doesn't have problems with rotary heat besides the lava rock comp one? They will last a long time, I had one on an ITA car for a couple seasons and it wasn't down on power. It was loud, but not too loud and it sounded a lot better than the lava rock muffler for street rpm's.

Dude, you sound like you're still in high school???
"Flowmastahs" is what almost everyone runs down here on almost anything else.
Flowmastahs on V8's.
Flowmastahs on Toy trucks.
You get the idea.
It's cause that's what the "big" muffler shops like to push to their customers.
If you want to just want to annoy the **** out of everyone and run a loud exhaust, you deserve to get tickets and thrown in jail.

We had a Spintech on one of the race cars for a while. It was one of those "it was laying around the shop" things and it was supposed to be a good muffler. Well, it was quiet enough, we were getting 93 db at SCCA events. We put a magnahelic gauge on the exhaust and found out it was like having a banana shoved up the tail pipe. It would bury a 15" h2o gauge by about 4000 rpm. That means it costs HP. I ended up making a muffler using lava rock and a perferated pipe that got us under the 103db limit and has no back pressure.

Has anyone ever try one of these? http://www.moroso.com/catalog/catego...?CatCode=35001 As far as from my experience the only thing that works for me is a Borla XR-1 muffler only ones I would reccommend.
