Talking New RB exhaust!!

Not quite! But looks near it,
I know you guys like looking at pics.. so look at this lovely bonus I got on my '85 FB when I bought it, the owner not even knowing what it was (obviously not a rotorhead)
Of course it didnt look like this on the car, I just got through painting and cleaning it with high heat flat black exhaust paint.
Going on my '82 tomorrow!

Also pictured.. my shiny new glass moonroof finally got put in, and a progress pic of the engine bay (in the middle of emissions removal)
I only got the idea for pics AFTER I painted everything... everything used to be rusty and muddy though!
Pardon the messy garage!

Enjoy!

Not a stock muffler, I'm not sure what it is, but I got it on ebay new, 0 miles on it

I already had that muffler bolted to the rusty RB system and it was actually very quiet, but not TOO quiet, and very sporty sounding..i like. i like! much quieter than the #$&*ing cherry bomb the other guy had bolted on, sheesh

Hahah, nice. I put the RB header and presilencer on yesterday. That combined with the RB muffler of course, I'm VERY happy with the exhaust system Racing Beat offers us. adds a nice throaty sound.

That's an RB prima flow muffler. That is their complete system. It should be pretty quiet.

Yup. Nice and mellow and stock sounding at idle, and all growly sounding as you rev it up. That combined with the DCOE intake was just plain NICE. Man I miss my FB
