hello everyone i am the newest member of owning a rx7... after owning nothing but hondas for the past 5 years i decided to try this... i jus bought a 85 gsl 1.1 i think.. i was wondering if this car has a cat convertor, and if they gain any extra power by gutting it.... thanks guys looking for some times wit a rx

Yes they have cats and yes you can gain significant hp by doing some exhaust work.



12a is a 1.2 litre by the way



welcome aboard!

It really depends on that age of car it could have been replaced, stock bolts up as I recall, I had mine removed and a pipe put in place in washington state and the guy charged me like $35 to do it, prolly easier then trying to hollow the old ones out.

stock there are 3 cats, they do bolt up, but the car is old enough to where if somethings been replaced it might not anymore

first pice is the header, second is the 2 cats. theres a piece missing after the cats before the muffler (left it on the car) oh by the way, the cats are turned around the wrong way (it was late...)



enjoy your car, and welcome. glad you decided to ditch the hondas.
