Does anyone know if you can fit one of these \'motorbike\' exhaust cans on a early rx7?

Brett · July 19, 2005, 08:19:04 AM

If your prepared to fart about and do a bit of fabrication you should be able to make on fit.

MikeLMR · July 19, 2005, 11:01:22 AM

Bike cans are no use on a car, they are almost always straight through and have very little sound absorbing material in them. A rotary needs a good silencer that can take the heat and if you want it to be even remotely road legal you will probably need a good sized back box and a couple of smaller silencers.

Brett · July 19, 2005, 12:28:38 PM

You mean we are supposed to run silenced exhaust pipes? That would explain the plod interest on my old rx then....

i mean the bike style exhaust you see them on scobbys etc not an actual bike one that would be scary

Try looking at the "supertrapp" website. they look pretty damn good on the 1st gens, various diameters for sale as well plus you can remove the internal discs or fit more in depending how loud you want it etc.

The megaphone series is the 1 you want.

good hint for anyone taking the wings off there series 1 atach some garden hose to the sunroof out lets (behind the wings and under the rear bumber) it stops the bottom of the wings rotting out and the rear of the car

Don Pamponi · July 30, 2005, 12:10:07 PM

I\'m sorry I put you onto clive dude. Since then I\'ve had no end of trouble with the car he \'restored\' - the rebuilt engine was just painted, & blew up on me, the car is full of worrying noises (I\'m having to pay Tim to strip down the suspension as we speak) & the paint on the bumpers is peeling off where he just sprayed over the original paint without any prepping! When you asked me the car looked fine & was running - I didn\'t know id been had back then.

Sorry again mate.

Don Pamponi · July 30, 2005, 12:13:27 PM

Check out my jap style 5"can - it also has an intermediate silencer & its still too chuffin loud to hear the stereo!
