HKS De-Cat - £250
HKS Hiper Mufler - £250 (should have been £460 but worked a deal )

all beeing fitted wednesday by RX-Motors in Dorset and should then be running at 14psi



think it's gonna hurt your pocket a bit more then the above prices mate unless u have a computer and boost controller capable of attempting to control boost and feed the right amount of fuel etc... u'll get major boost creep and blow the engine.
rx7's suffer very badly from boost creep.

jesus! what are u talking about!!!!!!! you're acting like a 12 year old.
mazda didnt build the engine so people could stick on larger less restrictive downpipes etc.. you retard. You leave them alone and yes they won't boost creep or need toadjust the fueling so the engine doesnt blow.. but u start doing so and u will.. grow up please.

join there and join the mailing list these guys really know what they are talking about and will put u straight about alot of things. But don't be a little boy and bite their heads off when they tell you u know nothing about this car.

my last rx was a 92 import and was rr'd at 278 somet bhp cant remember exactly this was a touring model though but shouldnt of made any difference, the uk spec ones are 250 ish, but i do know for a fact you really do need the ecu sorting or some kind of fuel and boost controllers as AK says before you start modding them at all, two turbos and lots of boost without correct fueling will hurt youre pocket an awful lot
