Difference in RB auto vs manual exhaust

Sorry if this is on the forum, i searched around and couldn't really find the answers i was looking for.

Is there really a difference in the way it's designed?

I have an automatic transmission right now and I'm looking at getting a full RB exhaust for a 1985 12a, I'm just trying to see if it will make a difference when I switch it over to a stick.

The pictures on the site don't really help too much, unless they're the same design and there are no issues.


Thanks

Ian

They use the same picture for the gist of it, but I do believe that it's how the piping is laid out that makes it a difference.

Your best bet may be to call them and ask. I am sure they have ran across this situation before. They are really cool people and will answer any/all of your questions, even if they are dumb ones. Very professional people at RB.

On the pre-silencer it is usually the position or placement of the transmission mounting point that makes a difference.( where the silencer attaches to support the exhaust system). I would have to guess on the header that it is a angle issue.
