Default On way home from exhaust shop. 2nd gen Rx7

Well guys, I finally got 3" True Duals X pipe installed!

Coming home from the exhaust shop on the xpressway, a 2nd gen Rx-7 comes flying up from way back. And goes to the far right lane. I pace him.
A clearing opens and we punch it. He holds for about 1/2 sec, then it's see ya! I pull away. We shut down at 90, so the win was not so dramatic.

I give him thumbs up, he pulls up and says, "hey! Not bad eh? I'm not even running a turbo!"

That's when I throw a rev, he throws back, at 60 we punch and I just pull and pull and put a couple of buslengths. Shut down at 110.

I guess he got the point.

Anyhow, check out my duals!

Cam is the TSP 231/237 .598/.595 112
The mufflers are Flowtech Afterburners... they sell for peanuts (well, $39 each to be exact).
Hey, thanks all.

You must be thinking of the 3g rx7's, they were all TT. Most of the 2g rx7's were non turbo. You can spot a Turbo 2g rx7 by the hood scoop.

Damn what a nice sounding car and nice kill... I like his, not bad for a turbo, eh? quote... You sure put him in his place. Sounds like a better match for me.

Looked like this.
The car I raced even had a hood scoop, but the guy made it a point to say he wasn't running a turbo. Whatever he meant w/ that statement, I'm not sure. The point is that soon after saying it, he was looking at my tailights 2 buslengths ahead.

sorry dude your thinking the fb's and the fd's but the fc's had na roteries.
fa was the auto show models post perduction concepts
fb was the first genneration production model
fc was the mide 80's to early 90's
fd was early 90's to production end...
the generation he was talking about is the fc and alot of them were na and still rx7s... if you dont belive me visit a junk yard there are plenty of them

nice kill man thouse things are mean on the open road they can rev to sick rpms stock

signe me up for the tru dulas with the x pipe im loving the idea the more i think about it.
