Racing Beat exhaust???

I am finally coming to the end of paying off my car (I don't exactly have a high paying job). I have the Racing Beat muffler on my car, and I want to upgrade the rest of my rusty, rusty exhaust system all to Racing Beat...I want the entire system. So what do I need now? Headers and then...??? That's it?

Anything I should know about doing this before I go buy RB headers and whatever else I need?

Ok cool. That pretty much answers my question. I need to get new gaskets anyway, because when I put on my muffler, no parts stores were open, so I bought some gasket material and cut out my own gasket.

I know I'll get **** from y'all for that one.. heheh.

yeah, and a stock midpipe, as opposed to the more expensive aftermarket ones, will work

mid pipe? I thought it was only the header, 2 silencers, then the muffler.





Peace-

You don't need the acv block off plate. Just leave it there and disconnect it.

Yeah, I was also going to ask where to get a midpipe, because that is really rusty too. I thought maybe RB sells one, but apparently not.


Ooh... that's something to put on my list for when I go to the junkyard. Although I'm guessing that out here on the east coast, there probably won't be many un-rusty parts under the car.

Fortunately, the exhaust system is the only rusty thing on my car, top and bottom.

Depends. My system had header, a single presilencer, stock midpipe, and a power pulse muffler
