Either way the exhaust is an extremely significant piece to making power on Rx-7s (any car really to that matter). By running an open downpipe on a Rx-7, you would see well over 5whp. The downpipe on the Rx-7 sucks ass and has a precat in it, they are a real power robber.
EDIT: JerseyV, I respect your opinion, but what I don't respect is people telling me my car won't make it out of the driveway. Wouldn't it piss you off if a car you put money and A LOT of time into was told from someone that it won't even make it down the street? I think I already know the answer.
of course stock exhaust to open down pipe will see significant gains, I guess what im trying to say is that open downpipe to straight pipe and muffler will not cause a significant enough loss to take the risk of getting a ticket, when you can just up the boost 1psi and recover that hp have it tuned and be safe?
and of course it would make me mad, BUT... this is Drag VA... I don't know you or your car, I'm just bored and come on here to fuck with people, I'm sure if I knew you I'd probably defend you... rx-7's are awesome cars, I just don't have the money to put it up with one... and as far as spic saying it won't have you seen his fucking thunderbird? him and his car are a JOKE
infact I have been watching the whole BS about the rx-7 since you've been on here and actually anticipating the day it runs just so he would STFU when you beat him
