Muffler identification

I was trying to figure up what this muffler is. I think it is about 8 to 10 years old. It is real quiet even when I was running it without a cat or premuffler. On the bottom it has C.S.C. made in Italy stamped.




Also what is it worth cleaned up? It has no rust and sounds great. I will be cleaning it and giving it a fresh coat of high temp paint.

sorry I never got a sound clip.

mine really doesn't look like that. The muffler and pipe are all one piece and the muffler is round like the stock.

It looks a great deal like Racing Beat's older "Power Pulse" muffler...

I always thought it was a RB muffler. I bought it used and the setup came with a RB header.

I thought the manza exhause was louder. This setup was very mild, quieter, and deaper sounding then the stock muffler.

well the pic i got is off the site now it's just a generic picture,it's not the exact one i was just using it as a reference. but if i'm right,not 100% positive on this at all,but pacesetter may be made in italy,so that would add up.
like i said i'm not sure i heard that somewhere but can't always be sure what you heard is true

they're not overly loud this isn't an rx-7 obviously it's a prelude but again a refernce(even though we all know rotorys are a lot louder)

If it's still in one piece after 8 or 10 years, its gotta be Racing Beat. Monza uses cheap steel which is usually rusting before you even get it to your doorstep...

thanks for all the help. So RB it is.

What do you think it is worth all cleaned up and painted?

Probably 1/2 of what a new one is worth. They last forever and add power, so to someone that wants to upgrade their exhaust and not pay RB prices it would look like quite the deal at 1/2 of retail.

Yeah, the older ones had angle-cut tips. The latest ones have rolled tips, straight-cut.

RB mufflers don't last forever. I took mine off,shook it, and heard lots o packing material sliding around in there. It had in fact gotten louder over the years.

It is worth something though. You can cut it open and repack it with ceramic wool from http://www.anvilfire.com/sales/k_index.htm

Ceramic wool won't transmit as much heat to the muffler can as stainless steel wool.
