Rx7store.com or Exoticspeed high flow cat

does anybody have any experience with either the rx-7 store or the exoticspeed midpipe with high flow cat? i see both have 02 bungs and have the oem hanger bracket.

looking at getting a new exoticspeed for 300 shipped or a used rx-7 store for 200.00

just curious as to the quality of either as well as how many miles can you expect to get without burning up the cat.... the rx7store cat has 5k miles on it.

thanks a lot!

-Ryan

Ryan, I have the RX7Store midpipe on my car with Hymee exhaust. The sound is not loud if driving the car easy. It louds when you hit the pedal hard. Hymee exhaust is know to be a pretty quiet exhaust like racing beat and the thing got pretty loud at wide open throttle. If you know how to drive it, it should be ok. I never get pull with cop. Quality is good and it is light.

no im talking a used rx7store hi flo cat for 200 shipped or a brand new exoticspeed high flow cat for 300 shipped. the extoicspeed is usually around 400 but through a dealer i can get it for 300 shipped if i spread the word if i like it..... just trying to get any feedback...


leaning towards the exoticspeed.

Well I can't speak for the catted pipe but I have their full catless exhaust, all I can say is that it's a very quality product, and their custom service is good. You should maybe find out what kind of cats they use and then compare those.

i think this dude is still confused.

exoticspeed- midpipe is no cat, but resonated. 300 new

rx7store- midpipe has cat, no resonator. 200 used

I say get a dual resonated (same as exoticspeed design but two resonators, no cat) from fluid motorsports. same price as exoticspeed but better
