Specifications?

Does anyone have the specs on this system? Tube size thickness
size of mufflers etc?
Any pictures of the system either on the car or on the floor?

I'm very much liking the sound! It sounds a lot like an RX8... Is the muffler a big, baffled style or what?

no, its actually a tight package that is not bulky.
I will get pics of the whole system, since mine is off right now.

I'm guessing the sound quality comes mostly from the thickwall piping more than anything..

That and instead of using "mufflers" I beleive it just uses multipule resonators. So it takes all the nasty pitches away and lets the rotary sound right out!

i'd be up for one whenever the 25 people that want to order are ready...i don't think the crappy exhaust setup that the previous owner had in there will hold up much longer...(non-RB) header > cherry bomb glasspack exhaust > unknown muffler. x.x

If my system was indeed Mind-Train, the center muffler ("presilencer" in RB speak) was 1.5" inside diameter and louvered.

It did NOT "flow really well". When I replaced it with a catalyst, the car got a little louder and a LOT more powerful.

Mindtrain is a solid exhaust system. Thick *** pipes. One glas pack. the two at the end are in fact steel packs. I had the system from jeff. Mindtrain header to mindtrain muffler. Camden supercharger for intake and here is what it sounded like at idle. It was very respectable until you cracked it open at 5 grand. Its and always will be the best system for a fb. Racing beat is nice but highly over rated and over priced. Fanboys scream racing beat.
