Alright peeps,
Finally ready to purchase the above for the \'7. Can any body recommend where to purchase from?
As ever price pays a big part, as there is soooo much else still to do one the car.
Thought about eBay, as the kits as very cheap, but seem to be LHD (and therefore the down pipe atleast would have to be binned).
If anyone knows of any bits going 2nd hand give me a shout.
Ta :)

Think it depends what you\'re going for :)
Downpipe, the HKS looks best and re:worx recommended it to me when I emailed.
Mid-pipe, again depends what you want, can pay up to £299+VAT for a Feed silenced stainless part down to not much over £100 for a simple decat. Oh yeah decat and mid-pipe are the same I think, decat pipe replaces the cat which is what the mid-pipe is.

Ahh, that may explain a few things. I always thought the de-cat and mid-pipe would be just a small section of pipe each.
Cant really afford FEED money, it would be nice though!
A local and respected company engineers bits and bobs out for rally / performace cars, and they would charge about £300 to complete the system, using my AutoProjekt backbox. Dont see the point if there are cheaper off the shelf items though.

Aye, pop onto some of the sponsors sites. I\'ve only had a look around re:worx and the dragon sites I think but they were very reasonable :)
Will have a look mate!
In the mean time if anyone has 2nd hand ones for sale give me a hola!:Thumbs-up
Chris
Can anyone with a good eye for detail tell me if this down pipe will fit a RHD FD???
eBay item no: 250009852076
Thanks in advance :)
Chris
The downpipe looks like it will get in the way of the steering bar. On RHD cars the downpipe has a cutout to allow room for the bar, but this does not. If your car is an import it will only have 1 cat under the seats, your downpipe is just normal straight through pipe, so therefor all you need is a decat mid pipe. One for sale here and it fits the stock downpipe http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27467
If you plan for the best setup, you could get an hks downpipe which has a larger bore than the stock downpipe and then get decat to fit that and your away.
Also you might find this post usefull. Vxer has posted a few questions about this subject. Itmight be worth asking him becaue i think he bought that very pipe off ebay http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26998
Thanks for the reply Robbie!
I think i\'m better off going for the large bore down pipe and large bore mid pipe, the back box I have is rather large bore, so there\'s no point having to re-fit as i up the power.
May as well get the wallet out and go HKS down pipe and silenced mid-pipe.
Cheers :)

Cheers fella,
Been speeking to Pip for advice, as he\'ll have the nice job of setting her up.
Pip recommends the Greddy down pipe if I have a bit of cash kicking about (moi, cash!!!) or the HKS pipe if value is what I want (:eek )
As for the mid pipe looks like that may be sorted! ^^^^ :)
