Front mount would be better if done right with hard pipes and no side exit end tanks.

Front mount! There is so much room in first generation rx7s. My 2cents use two nissan gtir pulsar intercoolers cut tanks off weld the two cores so it twice as thick, not long. Have tanks made use 2 1/2 in and 3" out all the way to the TB.
