87 RX7 Exhaust ????

[ude_loose]

Well I just bought the car and its non turbo but what really pissed me off was that the guy that i bought the car from took out both exhaust and somehow ran a straight pipe down and now I only have one exhaust instead of dual what can i do in this case since i really want duals, is their any way that I can run two straight pipes and it also passed emmisions with the straight pipe so two would not hurt. What do i need and where can i get it and around how much will the total be ohh and im also on a budget since im jobless at the time.

These cars do not have a true dual exhaust from the factory. They have a y-pipe just past the cats that splits the exhaust flow to both mufflers. You could run two straight pipes, just take the car to a local exhaust shop and have them fab it for you.

[ude_loose]

cool, so about how much would you think it would cost me?

[mwolvin]

Ask the local shop. I had one fab pipes to replace both mufflers and weld in place for $10.00 about 5 years ago.

What plans do you have for the car? Daily driver or a weekend car? If you take it to the track, get the shop to make it possible so that the exhaust system can bolt off so you can easily change between street legal exhaust and the race pipe. It's what I did to my DSM Are you looking for a performance exhaust or something a little more modest? Good luck!

Depending on the shop a ypipe can run you anywhere from 75-150 dollars. I would suggest looking at a junkyard for the stock factory unit along with stock mufflers, or try a RX-7 based forum's for sale section.

Well this is mostly my daily driver car well imma go down to this shop by my house see how much they charge me, i m also having trouble with my horn since i bought the car it does not work im thinking it is something with the CPU because also my clock doesnt work only at times when i hit a little bump and then it goes off...

[mwolvin]

Sounds like you have the usual solder joint issues with the clock and cpu. That's pretty easy to fix if you know how to solder.

I doubt I would buy a y-pipe from a jy, unless you can find a really good example. Those things rot after not long.

man a straight pipe is badass

if my car came like that i would keep it

hell when i swap to turbo i'll probably get a single, its much cheaper
dual exhaust larger than 3 inches looks dumb anyway

FC stock == kinda quiet
FC - mufflers == not much louder
FC - mufflers - cats == LOUD AS HECK!!!!!
