Puerto Rican Exhaust? Legend of alternative to Racing Beat....

Here's an obscure question to Team 1st Gen:

I have heard a few people reference a company in Puerto Rico that makes an exhaust system that supposed to be just awesome... better than the Racing Beat. Supposedly the header is a toss up in comparison to RB, but the presilencer and silencer are just great.

Unfortunately, I've lost touch with the person who told me about this system. Has anyone else heard of such a package?

No, I've never heard of this. Sounds interesting though. Wonder what shipping costs would be like?

nothing racist about it. I'd have to say that some of the best rotary tuners in the western hemisphere are either in Peurto Rico, or are of Peurto Rican decent. Jesus Padilla finished up David Hayes's epic four year build and did an impeccable job.

There's a big group of PR's in Grand Rapids that I met for the first time last year. I was drooling over their engines, while they were drooling over my suspension. They don't know about a lot of common mods (common with this forum) but they also did some things differently that looked pretty damned good. Very interesting guys, and I hope to draw them into the community this year. They'd be a great addition to our group...

One guy had a GLC with a 13b bridgeport, and a big assed turbo. It was strictly a trailered drag car, but he started it up on the trailer for me to hear it. It was so loud you felt it through your internal organs. Pure sex, that thing rattled my ********* for sure. Wish I knew what kind of times he runs...
