so everyone acts like borla and RB are the best exhaust, but RB has small exhaust tips (yeah, i could get bigger ones welded on...but no). so i'm thinking of getting the borla



is this dual exhaust like the stock? how big are the tips? does the system look and sound good?



any pictures? borla doesn't provide any

and here I was annoyed with the tips being larger than the pipe they weld onto with the racingbeat mufflers... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif



looking for grapefruit cannons?

I can tell you I hate the way my Borla mufflers sound compared

to the RB.

And not for nothing, you can get any tips welded on that suit you.

are you refering that my car has a grapefruit cannon? so what if my APEXi muffler has a 5inch tip? so what if i can stick my shoe in it? so what if a dog can fit in there? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

if a grapefruit will fit in the tip, intact, then yes, I am. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

if you want huge dual exhuast you can't go wrong with the apexi dual n1,



super loud... 4 inch tip duals damn!





personally i cna't stand the look of a huge tip, the tip should be no bigger then 3 inches max.



any bigger and they are cantelope launchers

RX7Aggie 04-24-2003 07:40 PM

no, i have an single side AEI exhaust right now, with like a 4-5" tip, it's too much rice for me. it sounds good, but i wanna go back to the dual stock look with like 2 1/2-3" tips



i dont like how the RB tips look, especially with the fillet edges. too boring, i want my tail to say "eat my rubber" and in a muscular way, not in a passive or rice way.

ROTARYROCKET7 04-25-2003 09:07 AM

cantelope launchers , grapefruits thats funny. I actually fit my 10 1/2 size shoes in leos exhaust. I even got a picture if i find it ill will post it up. Why do you want a big exhaust. Want to compete with the local hondaz ( sound contest =( ) go with the RB... its specifically made for your seven. Anyone got nice pics of the RB exhaust. How big are the ti https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif ps? 3''

ROTARYROCKET7 04-25-2003 09:08 AM

yeah the exhaust doesnt fit my visual taste but im looking for benefits not only for looks. The apex n1 look hot but i dont want that noise..

Apollorx7 04-25-2003 11:14 AM

I have apexi N1 dual on my na as well as an intake and its not loud at all in fact i would like it to be louder. And as far as looks are concerned people tell my that it looks really good to see the back end of my car speeding away with that exhaust. The tips are angled up a little and I think that that it compliments the look of my car.

relisys190 04-25-2003 04:38 PM

I have the borla cat backs with a bonez race pipe... soon to have RB headers and mid pipe. I must say that my car does sound very nice. low deep tones at low Rpms. than when you hit anywhere above 5-6 K the car sounds very much like a forumla one. Very high pitched almost like a motorcycle sound. I absolutly love it. sure i will loose that sound when i get my headers, but loose sound, gain 10 Hp.. so i think i'll go with the headers. But yes, Borla are very nice well built pipes.

ChainSawOnSteroids 04-25-2003 04:59 PM

i can fit 2grapefruit in my muffler at one time!!! ha!im looking for a second muffler like mine so i can go dual

and then im going side also, at the same time, so i will have duals in the back and duals out the sides, lol

Nemesis 04-25-2003 05:02 PM

ChainSawOnSteroids 04-25-2003 05:03 PM

I also have the apexi duals on my n/a.. and it isn't load at all.. it's actually kinda strange.. you look at my huge ass tips and expect to be knocked down by the sound, but nothing.. just a little purrr.
