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?

The RB dual will quiet you down. Or try welding a Borla XR1 racing muffler in the mid-pipe.

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.

Is the RB single tip much louder than the dual tip?

[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.
if you run with a silencer all the tim you should save your money and just buy a smaller diameter and quieter designed exhaust system, at least that's how I think about it because I too like the sound with a silencer but i cant see spending my money on a system design to be big and loud and just silencing it, ya know?

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.
