Dual exhaust will cost you more than a single, but I prefer it. Racingbeat.com sells a dual catback system, which runs $635 US.

Start with the "Search" button as your first step. People ask this question every day and you'll probably get better information if you just read what others have already written about. Just do a little research and you'll get TONS of ideas.

5 speed swap?

I've got everything you need. PM me if interested.

Also, if you can weld and fabricate, building your own exhaust is a hell of alot cheaper than buying one. Maybe $350 total spent depending on how you go about it. Before you say no here are some reasons why i think making your own exhaust is better than buying prefab (if you understand exhausts).

1. You choose the piping diameter and types of bends.

2. You can choose the number of cats you want to run if any.

3. You can have whatever noise level you want by adding resonators, changing mufflers etc.......

4. You decide how it looks

5. You can choose your hanger setup. Quick release, standard using stock locations, etc......

6. You can choose what kind of flanges to use and where to put them. You could have a 3 peice exhaust, 10 peice exhaust, whatever you want really.


It's really easy, just write down on paper how you want it and then order the parts. From there, you tack stuff in place under the car, pull it off once you've got it and weld it up.

Get the rx7.

I typed a book on why you should but what i think you should do is drive an eclipse (really drive it, dont be a puss. Corner it, go into boost, run through the gears......rape the **** out of it).

Then drive an fc slightly spirited.......

Makes the eclipse feel like a slug. I had a 98 that i lightly built and then turbocharged making about 30hp more than a stock gst. I drove my fc home after trading my eclipse. On bald tires and worn stock suspension, i drove it far past the limits i had with the dsm. Some of the corners i took would have sent me into a tree in the the dsm.

Also if you own a dsm, you're going to spend more time working on it and replacing worn out parts than you are in an rx7. They're built leaps and bounds better than dsm's despite being significantly older. Did i mention dsm's are made by dodge? The 4g63t is definately japanese but that's it. Everything built around the car is basically trash. Dont even get me started on the paint quality.... They are not put together well at all and the things that slipped past quality control will blow your mind. I and several of my friends have or have owned dsm's. If you want an eclipse, you might as well have sex with the aim to make a baby. If you can't work on cars now, you'll be able to fix just about everything after owning a dsm because believe me, you will touch EVERY part of that car and it will consume alot of your free time and money you could be spending on something else. It's also VERY difficult to find dsm parts at junkyards and when you do find them, the guys at the junkyard want so much for them because they're considered "sports" cars and alot of people own them. There is also a high demand for parts. Moreso than the rx7. You want rx7 parts, they'll practically give them to you because they cant get rid of them. I bought an entire car for $280. Not a shell, an entire car in fair condition that wasn't running.

Owning an fc is so special, warm and fuzzy. Owning a dsm just means you own a sexy production car that is the bastard child of the import world. Domestics wont claim it and imports dont want it. You'll be the object of hate on every car forum you go on and 90 percent of eclipse owners are idiots/ricers.

RX-7 all the way

i owned a 97 eclipse and currently own a 81 rx and prefer the rx alot more. even though it is 16 years older than my eclipse, it still rocks.
