You for got about flowmaster. I have a flow master. But its pretty dam lowed to and I hate it. When I am on the phone its so annoying. But it was a good price and was not strait though so it’s not illegal. i think its this one: [http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/cgi-bin/flowmaster/50series.html?id=G8gn8aNR](http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/cgi-bin/flowmaster/50series.html?id=G8gn8aNR) ---

Something’s gotta be wrong with your motor for it to be screaming that much. Anywho I have a Flowmaster 40 and I llike it. Sounds rather good. Lots of drone, but I’ve gotten used to it. I dunno, if you can, try out different mufflers. If I had to choose from there, I’d prolly try the Magnaflow. ---

And I don’t know of a exhaust system that can make it quiet. But most people say the Racing Beat sounds the best. Anyways I voted for Tanabe. ---

Get a buddy to video tape your car in idle and as it rips through some roads. Just so we get an idea how lould this sucker is. I’ll host the video for you if need be. ---

Blitz NUR Spec would be a good choice. It all depends on what kind of sound levels you can bare with. Most straight-throughs perform relatively equal, given less than a 2% difference unless there’s some kind of restriction. Just pick the one with the best quality, straightest piping, and price. ---

Used to have a Apexi N1 Dual on a 87 RX7 TII and it was way too loud. I think you should try and locate a Racing Beat unit. BTW if you want to know, here was the set-up… HKS 3inch DP to Apexi N1 Dual Here is a pic of the N1 (not my car though) ![http://www.rx7.com/pics/fc-apex-dn1.jpg](http://www.rx7.com/pics/fc-apex-dn1.jpg) ---
