Turbo FB's are not a "kit". They are all different, and all custom in one way or another. Racing Beat makes kits to fit a PRODUCTION car.

Just look at the Turbo FB's here..

They are almost all extremely different, with different styles and setups, turbo's, wastegates, downpipes, etc.

the only thing i would get from racing beat is their header

not to get you mad DF, it just an opinion. i know they are not a kit but most of the one i seem that have stock turbos use RB down pipes and presilencer, why not make a exhaust for people that use stock turbo. but i gess is a bad idea. i know i would like a RB muffler on my car i just wish they make it in 2.5. ohh well thanks

Why would I be mad? I understand what you mean, though. RB has great products.

Try out the Magnaflows..I am very happy with them.

BTW, I like the new Avatar.

RB does make quality exhausts, I wish they would make one for those running a stock turbo set up. There exhaust are worth the money.

I don't think there is a big enough market for it. Those doing the TII swap usually upgrade the turbo. Maybe if they made an exh w/o the downpipe it'll sell.

Of course if they made an exhaust that future modifications could easily bolt to, it might be worth buying. Frankly though, There is so much custom work in a turbo swap that building a custom exhaust isn't that hard in comparison.

BTW, I like the magnaflow, but it didn't do much to muffle the sound. I used a sound pressure level (SPL) meter to measure the difference between open downpipe; downpipe and magnaflow; and downpipe, magnaflow, and Apex'i N1 (ie full exhaust). Open downpipe at 3k RPM average SPL from all directions at 20 ft was 107 dB. Open downpipe and magnaflow lowered it to 101 dB, Apex'i brought it to around 92 dB. Qualitatively, the magnaflow did take alot of the metallic rasp and sharpness, but did little to deaden the actual pulses. The Apex'i and the rest of the exhaust mellowed it out alot more. It also killed the resonance that the magnaflow was hitting

Well, what would be nice would be some "standard" components. Almost all turbo conversions could do with a "over the axle" bend in 2.5" or 3" diameter, and this seems the hardest part to get right. A bolt on silencer could help, too. As for downpipe etc, I guess there are indeed to mny different setups.

so is someone gonna send this thread over to racing beat when it's all done

Here's what i'd say for them, RB muffler, over-axle, and a bolt on silencer to that. THen you could buy another bolt on silencer, and their downpipe (if using the stock setup), or some other brand of DP to go onto that.

Thats what i'd sell as the first gen turbo "kit"

You'd only need a piece to connect the two silencers (it would be like a 30deg. bend or something if i remember right). That leaves minimal custom fabbing.

nope. ill talk to jim langer of racing beat yesterday and this is how he told me

"because of the not too many people doing the swap that why we dont offer an exhaust for the 1 gen with turbo II engine. that why we offer what we can provide is with custom flanges and everything you need to do your exhaust"

another question i popes to him was about if theres any plas to upgrade the exhaust size of the RB exhaust?

RB answer: no because it will make it louder but in the meantime it make power, what it make the most power is the header and the presilencer not the muffler.

i gess the answer is no, RB doesnt have any plans for the FB anymore. with turbo II engine or not. ohh well it worth a shot.
