I don't know if I'll be doing another streetable NA RX-7, but if I did, I'd definitely be interested in a Mindtrain system for it.

Count me out. The one car I worked on that did have a mindtrain was noisy at idle, tended to drone, and the construction quality was a little lackluster (thinwall pipes, boinger rated flanges and gaskets, varying diamaters of pipe used). One of the glasspacks was installed backwards and the gaskets were all disintegrating (obviously not rated for rotary use). No exhaust leaks, but was plenty loud enough in the middle of the car to turn me off of mindtrain. Out the back is was ok sounding. I wouldn't use a mindtrain on my own vehicle unless I had no choice. For me it's RB or custom.

I sold the system to someone who put it to good use, so it went to a good home. If I come across another I'm sure I'd list it for sale as well.
