FD Racing Beat Twin Tip Exhaust

Howdy!

Has anyone fit the RB 3" exhaust:

Onto a FB? Other then the hangers, does it bolt right up?

Thanks!

Of course, bolt up with the rest of the exhaust being 3".

To me it looks like you'd have to modify the 3" inlet too.

i think the can is a good fit, hangers are actually probably close. piping isn't a huge deal, as it would have to custom anyways.

the biggest problem is that the tips are not straight, as the muffler can is offset in the FD. so you'd have to either live with it, or chop em and reweld, which isn't a big deal, but all this work might add up

That's the answer I was looking for.

Thanks!

j9fd3s pointed this out to me. Maybe it's the right choice for you. http://www.racingbeat.com/RX7-1975-1...ts/96428L.html

It looks so cool that it's worth it. I do love my RB street port muffler though, never wanna try anything else.

This is the muffler I've used on my car for the last 3 or 4 years. Looks great.... sounds great.... and probably 1/4 the cost of the RB muffler. I couldn't justify that expense if you're just going to be chopping it up and re-welding a bunch of stuff.
