Hey , Whats up, i have approximately $1,800 to spend on my car. I believe some of you have seen the horrific rust and missing mufflers on my fc. Well i am definitly going to buy a system but am debating between the three.



1) RB Catback, leaving the cats and emissions stuff= $576.00

2) RB Complete System, no emissions obviosly = $979.00

3) MazdaTrix True Dual with RB Canisters = $1,286.00



I want to know the power gains for each, ive heard 5-15hp on the # 1, and heard of 28% hp increase in # 3.



I would appreciate if the guys with these setups 1,2 or 3 can tell me which is the more bang for the buck.



Thanks

Jason nYC

i heard the apex n1 was extremely loud if you had no cats. 3" on both sides? LIke a dual setup or a single exhaust with a two sided muffler

j200pruf 02-28-2004 02:13 PM

The N1 mufflers aren't loud with teh stock exhaust manifold, adn a RB pre-silencer. In fact I was really disapointed at how quiet mine was. And I have a single.

TII swap!!!

mazdaspeed7 02-29-2004 12:12 AM

Dont waste your money on true duals. Theyre overrated and underperforming. You can make more power, have a better exhaust tone, and spend less money doing so with a collected exhaust.

coming ot collected and UN-Collected whats the difference. I heard the same for headers, yeah i wasnt diggin the true duals too much, but i am also gonna do my tranny with money so i wana have some $$ left to buy some bushings atleast or shocks

FrestyleFC3S 02-29-2004 01:13 AM

run the car without an exhaust and get a tii tranny and s4 na 5spd ecu!

FCmaniac 02-29-2004 09:17 AM

Cut a hole in the corner of the hood and run a smoke stack with a flapper door on it!





Actually I'd get the RB cat back and use the rest on suspension parts.

5spd SWAP!!!!!

ColinRX7 02-29-2004 05:55 PM

Don't you guys have custom exhaust shops around there?



There's one up here that will do a header-back full stainless mandrel bend 2.5" exhaust for about 700-800 CDN including generic stanless canisters..



Looking at Racing beat and stuff for mufflers seems to be way overpriced.

I am definetely doing the 5spd swap, i didnt do it before because when i had money i had to pay billz. Now im almost out of debt and can spend 85% of my $1,800..Getting the catback, transmission swap and some suspension stuff.

yeah we do but the thing is that ive heard so much stuff from guys that live out here with RB systems and have it for like years and have no rust or exhaust problems. I dont want to take a chance on getting it custom and the welds are not done proper and **** goes wrong then i wil wind up paying more. But thanks for the suggestions , all is taken into consideration

the RB is worth the money, Im all for opinions so I would

like to hear someone's version of a good exaust

if they dont like the sound of the RB one on a N/A



I would do my own pipes and use thier mufflers, but then again thier

ypipe is cheap enough to give it a shot

nah im good Rob, as u can see i let is slide once before. Well the catback aint bad, the ypipe is cheap and its good quality. The cats are new or still good so why take i off and put a header/silencer lol. Ill do the catback and do the 5spd swp. My boy told me to give him $150 and hell give me the transmission and i just gotta help him out with labour.

hey thanks for the link. thats a good deal. The system looks great. Looks different than the stock setup, the ypipe is very small looks custom. Those are RB canisters right. I would get em , i just dont have the money right now. Im suppose to get the money at the end of march mid april. Just trying to plan ahead so that when i get the money ill get everything set up quickly

Thats the exhaust I have.. the rp dual. It sounds pretty good actually. Even though its aluminized steel, its held up well for me for about 3 years now.

FrestyleFC3S 02-29-2004 11:16 PM

yeah my bad, i get too emotional. When i went to the first hooter meet some guys were saying stuff about me when i me them they didnt say jnothing to my face. No im definetely getting the 5spd, i do feel *****ish (if thats a legitimate word) cause i got an auto. But i love rx-7's so much i bought the first two i can lay my hands on. too bad they were both autos =0(. But i got funds now and my vacation this summer isnt bankrupting me so im good for some rx7 goodies. Hence catback, 5spd and some suspension ****.



Jason NYC



P.S beating up ure girlfriend makes u more of a man, we should do it more often, and the beef helps out too lol

well not that much suspension, was thinking of getting some kyb's , eibach springs, energy bushing kit and some SS lines...my brakes feel very mushy. Plus i dont know that much about turbos i rather wait and get a t2 and wrok from there. My engine is in great condition.



Theres a saying: If it aint broke dont fix it

The engineering version: If it aint broke then you havent added enough gadgets.



How much for the complete t2 swap. i can get a motor thats not a problem but i dont want to convert my gxl into a fake t2 with a hood lol. then if i invest in a good intercooler thats going to be more $. Total estimate of $1,800 usable minus $576 and tax for catback



Idea are welcomed dont get me wrong but ya have to persuade my judgement. You gonna help me?
