This must be a new item from RB. Has anyone used one of these yet? How loud is it with just a header and a presilencer?

i'm liking it, might just buy one
my only change to the exhaust is the RB test pipe. maybe it would be too loud?

I'm thinking about buying one. I need to know how quiet it will be.

i saw them a couple of weeks ago on their site, i think it looks ok, but i believe it's just gonna look odd installed...hmm, anyone that's already bought it have any pics?

i think it would look great in an rx8.

Kentetsu

Yeah, I ran across that a few days back. Looks interesting....

I also found a rotor shaped dining room table. No ****. Looked awesome and the wife actually loved it. Salesman gave us a rediculous price though and wouldn't budge on it. Had to walk away, but I'm going to keep an eye out for another one...

i'm digging the muffler. its unique to say the least. i'm a fan of the twin tip look on the SA/FB's though..

iTrader: (1)

put a y tip on it then hehe >.<

BoostedRotors

no no no. This is all wrong! That is like rotor-rice...it's just WRONG. tacky, tacky, tacky.

Its a little *** backwards imo.. the tip should be rotor shaped like the center piece on the back of the RX8.

Planning to buy one and try it once I drop in my new motor. I'll have a sound clip up in a few weeks.

+1 rotor rice

iTrader: (7)

Agreed. Should be a circular exhaust with the tip being a rotor shape. That on the other hand would be bad ***.

i wonder what the inside of the muffler looks like. are the walls the same?

BASTARD

iTrader: (4)

it isn't going to be any quieter then any other 13" straight thru design muffler

Didnt care much for the look at first but after seing saw the video of it on the furai changed my mind i like it alot wonder what it sound like on my fb after im done with the turbo. I would have to see it on a first gen though before i bought one especialy for the price

I went with the universal muffler instead. It's bigger (more muffling) and costs less. Maybe my next project will get one of these rotor shaped mufflers.

The tip itself should have been rotor shaped.

Spoke with Racing Beat this morning, they said it's LOUD!

It'sa development of a custom muffler they did for one of their full-up racing developments - - the prototype sits in their showroom, about 3 blocks from my office.

Staight-thru hole you could fling a medium-sized cat through.

lol at first i thought you were talking about a catalytic converter..

It's basically a small muffler, mostly ideal for a turbo in 3". I'd say for NA use, you really will need at least one other muffler inline ahead of it and a presilencer ahead of that. Definitely 2.5".

I'll try to talk PercentSevenC into getting one of these in the 3" version for his upcoming turbo project. He wants to use a Borla at the rear with a turbo, but the Borla could actually fit up in the cat location pretty well since it is an oval shape and other people have used them there as a presilencer with good results. This should allow for the cool triangle shaped muffler to be used at the rear and not be too loud.
