I have also heard that the GReddy SP is a nice sounding exhaust.
Yes, like Silver just said so you know, the Racing Beat is very quiet.

Well i like to be loud just not any where near as loud as mine is. My exhaust is done over the whole way it's 3" all the way back. It has a downpipe, test mid pipe ( no cats ), then it goes to this huge 4.5" muffler. I have a friend with a rustang 5.0 with dual exhuast and i'm about 4x as load as him. I think my muffler makes me louder. I dont want to be stock mind you. I: just dont want every cop for the next mile to hear me when i go above 3k RPM. So i do want to have a nice rumble just not a hey cops looky at me type of sound. Or is there no way around that?

A quieter exhaust will end up costing some power, although from the sound of your note it may be worth it. www.rx7club.com has athread on exhaust sounds. A guy has posted the sound of an RX7 with a Borla resonator and a Racing Beat cat back which sounds pretty good.

I will tell you after tommorow how my Greddy Power extreme sounds when I install the midpipe. Hopefully im not following your lead and looking for a way to quiet mine as well. So far I love mine but until now I have had the cat in soooo.....

[quote name='qwester007' date='Mar 3 2003, 08:51 AM'] I love having an exhaust with a silencer. I've tried everything from
Apexi, HKS, and Greddy, but have had the best luck with an off
brand I found with good build quality and a removable tunable silencer.

No- Don't run a silencer all the time. Just when you need to shut it
up a little. I can't drive into a parking lot, let alone a parking garage
without causing all of the car alarms to go off. The silencer also helps
to keep the 100+ decibel exhaust roar to a minimum which keeps the cops
from finding a reason to give me a ticket.
The silencer is quickly removed when I'm out running her or when I head to the track.
