Racing Beat presilencer. If you want two just put two in a row

usually two presilencers in series is what gets put on our cars. most people will reccomend the racing beat setup because the exaust from the rotary engine is INCREDIBLY hot, and will burn out most conventional pre-silencers (like mine... cherry bomb, go fig.)

i personally reccomend the racing beat exaust header as well, because the stock manifold is shaped like, and flows like, a piggy bank. be forewarned that without cats, your car will shoot fire on occasion.... this is not a problem unless cops are behind you.

(edit: spelling, like a n00b i am)

My GS will actually shoot a blue flame out every once in a while. Couple friends trying to keep up with me noticed. I have the dual Racing Beat setup with a presilencer on each pipe and it is just a little louder than stock. Agree with the above, extremmely hot exhaust and most are not made for the heat. And yes, cops don't like the FLAMES, but I do !!

Have not been pulled over since I put on the silencers, can't say about power loss. Upgraded the whole exhaust at once and had in increase in power.

I'm currently running the Streetport Racing Beat exhaust on my GSL(Headers, dual presilencers, and muffler). I noticed an increase i my car. I love the sound too. Mine still throws the flames.

I think the only presilencer that has been said to hold up is the magnaflow Stainless steel one. I have a magnaflow muffler and it hasnt blown out yet. But the magnaflow piece is definately not as heavy duty as the RB piece. (but way cheaper!)
