Maybe im just use to the terminators with m55 exhausts and no cats up monroeville running around. Haha… i can guarantee it’s louder than any street driven cobra. I had a full o/r exhaust on my 2v’s with loudmouths and that isn’t even in the same neighborhood as this car is right now. I fired it up and let it idle in my garage with the door shut for 15 seconds… the neighbor 2 doors down came and knocked on my door and said he heard it from inside his house. Just idling. I didn’t even rev past 2500 rpms basically because my ears hurt… :eek3: ---

Open headers + cam + LSx = louder then any cobra in monroeville… haha Sick project, what are you doing for exhaust? I will suggest Spintech Mufflers 😉 ---

I will suggest Spintech Mufflers 😉 Well, for a while i’m going to be choking the shit out of it. I have an aftermarket catback that came with the car; but it’s only 2 3/4" pipe. I’m going to hook it up to that for a while just to drive it around. I really want to go with dual 2.5 pipe the whole way back with SLP loudmouth II mufflers. I had them on my stang and I loved how deep they made the sound. I know lsx and ohc engines dont sound the same at all, but I tried a lot of exhaust setups with my mustang, so that’s where i’m going to start with this one. ---

LM2’s are a lot different than the regular LM’s, though. I think the 2’s will be great on that car.

Man… listening to all of those exhaust clips are depressing. Only good thing about a 2v, they sounded amazing whend one right. Really thats the only downside of the lsx motors they don’t sound nearly as good. My mustang sounded soooo deep, these all sound like tin cans. Also, loudmouth and loudmouth II’s sound completely different. Loudmouth’s sound like garbage on all cars, the II’s sounded great on my mustang. > [@Can you do the soulja boy?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/can-you-do-the-soulja-boy/39922/24): > > on an LSX + Cam spintechs are the pinnacle of exhausts imo… > > so win! Sounds like a tin can in my opinion… 🆒 I guess i was spoiled with the sound of my old car. Honestly I dont hear too much difference between the LMII’s and the spintechs from what was posted. ---

hmmmmm im not sure on that part… have you gone to rx7club? theres a few guys on there with ls swapped 7’s…they can probably give you a better idea… im having a problem with my stock, oil guage…after i put a clutch in it , it stopped working…i was told to buy this relay…so i did, and that didnt help… and i know im getting proper oil pressure…cause otherwise the turbo wouldnt spit oil out… but, rx7’s have very poor wiring… maybe its time to make your own dash configuration??? ---

^ I fixed the tach… needed a pull up resistor because the ls2 computers use a 5v square wave for the tach, ls1s and the rx7 use a 12v square wave. Anyway, I got my coilovers installed so I could adjust the ride height. :wackit: I was going to take pictures, but the camera ran out of batteries and the charger is at my parents house so I wont be able to get it till this weekend. ---
