Racing Beat. And, get the full SP system. Yes, it's more expensive, but think about it: You won't be buying another one for a long time, get the best you can get.

I'm in the same boat... I too am looking for a full exhaust for my 82. Thinking about the Street port exhaust system from RB.

Agreed. Have it, love it. And the quietest I have found to date. Good horsepower gains. Anything else is second rate.

Thanks All, RB/SP it is, I think my cats are clogged so I pulled the pipe off the exhaust before the cats and tried to take spirited run down the road (I found this advice searching the 1st gen Archive) to see if it made a difference and the car would hardly run no power? So that was inconclusive, but I’m losing power won’t rev worth a crap? 4500-maybe 5000 tops.

Swapped out these things when I bought in September
Cap
rotor
Plugs
Wires
Fuel filter

I don’t think this I timing issue it ran very strong pulled well and then out of the blue no revs and harder starting? The fuel pump seems to have gotten noiser making more of a clicking noise?
