Added some Bling to my duece! OZ racing wheels

Well got some OZ racing wheels for my rx-2. They are 15X7 with 225 in the rear and 195 in the fronts. Still need to get the lsd soon because I just spin like crazy in 1st and 2nd with these new tires. Although it did help a bit compared to the stockers.

Well on to the picture.

So what do you guys think?

Just a few....

'97 Cosmo 13B street port single turbo (GT-35R).
550cc primary injectors
1600cc secondaries
Haltech ECU

That's pretty much it for the powerplant. Ready to set up the exhaust now, but not sure what kind to get. I know it will be 3" down pipe and 3" all the way back. Anyone have ideas on exhaust setups? I heard some turbos that are outrageously loud...and I've heard moderate that maintains some good power and performance...I'm lookin for the latter. I've had street and bridge ports, but went turbo this time because I heard they were easier to quiet down and still get good performance...don't want anymore noise pollution citations!!!!!

Its just a magnaflow muffler. I did the whole exhuast setup myself using U bends from summit racing.

Here are some pics of the setup http://www.godzilladefenceforce.com/...view_album.php
Exhuast isn't to loud at cruise or idle.. but once you go WOT its pretty damn loud.. but the turbo is even louder between 3-5k

Where is LA are you located? I'm in Torrance and would love to take a look at your setup. Maybe we could meet up sometime. I'm going to be at ricky and ronnies this saturday for our monthly socalrx7 club meet.

Its on the corner of normandie and sepulveda. Check out www.socal7s.org for more info.

Yeah the guys at rotary power told me about that meeting last time but I couldn't make it. Maybe I will this saturday if the rain isn't too bad. I'm in the SFV area, but my car isn't ready yet. I took a look at your website and that's exactly what I'm lookin for...3" straight back to a muffler...I bet it does scream when you mash! Are there any high flow steel packed resonators that can be used before the muffler? They cops like to ticket people here in the valley for exhaust. Well, hopefully I can make it and listen to your setup at cruise speed so I can get an idea of where I wanna be...
Thanks!

Oh yea, by the way I am pending membership aproval for the SoCalRx7 site.
