John, the trouble with most auto exhaust stuff for the Rx-7 is that it is
just really too heavy for aircraft use and/or reduces engine performance an
unacceptable amount. Years back, I ordered what they called a "Presilencer"
for the car and when I got it must have weighed close to 18 lbs or more -
very thick walled tubing. I never even tried it out on the aircraft.

I don't have any knowledge of the RX-7, but looking in the Haynes manual
there is a picture of a small item ahead of the converter, called a
pre-converter. Is this used to change the exhaust so the insides of the
converter isn't blasted out. Would it work for a muffler is the question.
