another exhaust thread
I've asked similar questions before but this is what i want to do racing beat header want to do the road race but the standard one would be fine. but i want to keep the quiet sleeper sound that i already enjoy with basically a stock set up one cat and turbo muffler on a stock header no heat shield. but with the new header when i put that one wont be till about April next year but i was thinking about an Apex'i muffler for a tail pipe and maybe some presilencers and hoping it would be quiet enough but still look good and not entirely stock. what do you'll think. i am open to opinions thanks for everything.

I think if you quiet it down respectfully which can be a bit louder than stock you wont get anymore notes.
since your leaning toward quieter a RB full system with presilencer
but RB says even this is louder than stock. I think if your used to really LOUD!!!!!!! this will sound quiet.
go back to stock and you will strangle airflow through the engine.

Why not use a Racing Beat single-outlet header to a Borla ProXS offset/centered in the cat location to a Racing Beat main muffler in back? Basically the RB system with a Borla instead of the presilencer. Might or might not be quieter than stock, but it will definitely be very quiet and should perform okay. Be sure to use only RB thickwall pipe in 2" OD.

You've learned well.
bugman, the RB stuff will probably still have enough volume for you, but you won't get any more notes.
I never had any noise complaints about the dual pipe RB system I had briefly on my '83. It had just enough volume to hear the engine, but was not anoying or droning in any way. If you have the money, you totally need to get it. Or the single pipe system to save a few bucks. It still outflows stock. The Borla in place of the presilencer can work, but never having heard one in the cat location coupled with an RB muffler before, I can't tell you how it will sound. The one thing I do know is it is half the price of the presilencer.
Hmm, maybe one more Borla Pro XS in the back might work. Instead of getting the RB muffler, you could try the Borla back there, but again I have no idea how loud it will be. I plan to do this on the '83, but I do want to hear the engine so the volume level will need to be adequate but never droning (I'll use thickwalll pipe to prevent the anoying drone).
