Got me a FC

so i need some help on getting an exhaust.

My neighbor came out two nights ago with a crowbar saying i woke up his daughter. Which i feel bad if i did but i dont think i really did. I think the guy is just a dick, but none the less i dont feel like dealing with it and him beating my cars with his crowbar. He actually said he would beat my cars but not me haha.

So i def. need all new piping from the header back.

All i seem to find are catbacks and i need the presilencer section as well, i saw that RB sells one but im not sure if it will work with a stock header and aftermarket cat. A header will come but not right away, funds are pretty tight.

I was looking at the Apexi N1 dual catback, not a huge fan of the style but it seems to be a nice setup, and looks like it connects to the header. Is this true?
 
Lol you might just want to sell the car...or tell the neighbor to stfu if its normal daylight hours.

I want to say the apexi is a catback as well. Aftermarket options for the rx7 are weird corksport is the only one I believe that have a header that mounts right to the front of the stock cat.
 
def. not selling the car lol, but what made him come out was the RX7 idling, i wasnt even in the car lol, i was up front doing the lazy eye mod to it.

and dammit i was hoping the Apexi was a header back.
 
how about you tell your hick ass neighbor that if he touches your car he'll be spending the night behind bars

is your exhaust stock? does it have any holes in it? anthing aftermarket is going to be much louder.
 
there are no mufflers and a hole, so its louder but no where near as loud as the MSP. from where i park to his house is atleast half a block

....lazy eye mod....

And no normally al exhausts for the 7 are cat back because the headers vary so much...at the most it may delete the cat but I doubt it caust you wouldn't be able to bolt in a rb system.

ya lol, the lights wouldnt go down and i read that if you just pop the fuse out you can just adjust them, so i lowered them half way haha.

so can you buy a new piece that goes in between the header and catback?
 
Depends on the system. Rb is a header presilencer catback corksport is a header, stock cat or their resonator. Catback. Not sure about pacesetter but I believe they follow rb.

The stock setup is manifold, precat, pipe, cat, catback so its impossible to buy just a rb header and bolt it to the stock setup without a custom pipe.
 
From what I remember on the RB setup their header/presilencer has the same connection point after the cat.

They have a weird length to the header and presilencer though and they only work with each other for bolt up applications.

Our header bolts to the stock cat or anything that goes in the stock cat location.

I never knew exhaust could be so confusing.....

says the msp owner....lol

Its not so confusing once you ditch the stock setup before the cat. Really corksport had a good idea making their header direct bolt in to the stock system keeping the cat. If I want to run a cat with my rb setup I have to build something.
 
i will have agree with wagon lol.

also will the racepipe work on my RX7. Mine is an 86 and i have that back pressure thing, i think it opens up my ports or something.

and thanks for jumping in corksport
 
the ports will open with a racing beat pre-silencer.. but not with a race pipe.. u gotta have some back pressure otherwise it wont work.

MSP exhaust is fairly strait forward... just the stock piece sucks and the word "downpipe" can't be used without confusion. its not so bad!
 
The exhaust isn't too hard to figure out. It just gets confusing when you try to mix/match things. The Racing Beat header/pre-silencer and downpipe/pre-silencer combo replaces everything from the engine back to the stock y-pipe (including both cats). The Corksport header replaces the stock exhaust manifold and pre-cat and their race pipe replaces the stock cat, bolting up to the stock y-pipe. If you use the Racing Beat header you have to get their pre-silencer to be able to bolt up to the stock exhaust; it's either that or custom. As mentioned, the Corksport, however can be used with the stock cat. You can also use their race pipe with the stock exhaust manifold and pre-cat. Also, every exhaust system you see advertised, unless explicitly advertised as a full system (Racing Beat True Dual, etc.) is a cat-back. The Apexi N1 dual is just that so it will bolt up to the Racing Beat header/pre-silencer combo or Corksport header/race pipe combo. I am currently debating which header combo I want to go with but I'm pretty set on the Apexi N1 dual cat back until Corksport comes out with a smaller diameter exhaust for the N/A guys. The Racing Beat True Dual looks neat but I can't really justify spending that kind of money for what is essentially I stock-sized exhaust.
 
Congrats on the car.

I miss my '87. It was my second car. I miss my first car more, a '79 RX7.

I wish I knew more about cars back then, I just drove the piss out of them.

the true dual does seem badass, i think stock size works well since each rotary has its own exhaust and being bigger could just end up killing all low end, but the cost is just insane for me right now.

but thanks for all the info guys. so any catback will work as long as i go with RB header and presilencer or CS header and race pipe. Right?

also if i went with the race pipe could i just always have the ports open by doing some sort of modification or would that not be a good idea?
