racing beat 3" [inlet at the flange] dual catback for 2nd gen Rx-7 turbo. just bought it for $385 shipped, used. brand new they are over $700. it is 304 stainless. this exhaust is stock style, with 3" tips so the cops won't bother me so much.
my old exhaust was a 2.5" Greddy Power Extreme, which is both too small for the turbo I am putting in (T04S, basically a T4 60-1 , .96 hotside, .70 compressor) and attracted too much attention because of the large tips. It sounded good though.
and yeah it's really dusty because it's been on stands for 6 months. first i was waiting on parts, then it's been one custom bullshit thing after another (exhaust, stainless steel fuel system, bunch of wiring, etc)

That pic of the car is showing the old exhaust right?
New one will definitely give it a cleaner look.
I also like that this seems to be something that will be a legit speedy car and not just a noise box/rattle trap.
Is this going to be one of those track rat kind of toy cars? 10/24/2007 1:11:30 PM |

well, it's only going to run race gas 90% of the time. so I will drive it on the street like once a week but not too far... the old exhaust was on the car when I bought it and it just attracted too much attention. if the car backfired GIGANTIC flames would come out because of the huge canister, which is cool like the first two times and then annoying 10/24/2007 3:37:29 PM |

Are you running a hi-flow cat or do you have a test pipe?
I'm debating whether or not I should pick up the dual borlas for my vr4. After I swapped the downpipe/cat with a cat/precat eliminator SS downpipe (w/ flex section), it started sounding much meaner. I think the dual cans would be overdoing it though. 10/24/2007 6:34:32 PM |

^^^^ it's stupid not to run 100+ on a car that is absolutely notorious for blowing engines, especially for one I don't plan on driving a whole lot
^^ I think 3SX makes a catback that looks kinda similar to stock (bigger quad tips) that I like. that's another option.
and yes I run a straight pipe. And yes I sold my white one to a friend... I couldn't keep three cars after I bought the Q45, and as much as I love that thing shit breaks on a 20 year old vehicle and it was completely impractical as a daily driver 10/24/2007 9:51:17 PM |

^ I'm running their custom downpipe. I don't think they've made a full catback, be it dual cans or quad tip. I think the one you're thinking about is also designed by IPS. 10/24/2007 10:06:39 PM |

sounds like it'll be quite a car when your done... how much boost with the new snail ? low 20s? 10/25/2007 12:20:52 AM |

It might hold 20 to redline on this motor if i'm lucky, honestly. I would probably need a 1.15 or 1.30 hotside, as rediculous as it sounds, to hold more boost. Or a bigger turbo altogether. my stock turbo, which is similar in size to a CT-26 or 16G, held 6 to redline. 10/25/2007 1:13:34 AM |

WHAT??
The only person who whored in this thread was your boyfriend slowblack96 when he started spewing bullshit about what a testpipe was. This thread was going along fine until he came in here and said Quote : | "you ri0rz and your test pipes. its an "off road pipe" you are not testing anything." |
He got flamed for what he said, and he deserved it since he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. Not surprising to see you rushing to defend him, since thats what you're known for doing here.
I dont know who you are, but you really need GTFO of the garage and stop protecting your boyfriend who knows nothing about cars.10/25/2007 3:22:04 PM |
