Just wondering what the sound or noise is like with a Racing Beat Street exhaust over a stock exhaust.

I cannot stand annoying exhaust noise, but I love a good sounding exhaust.

I test drove a '85 GSL-SE I was considering buying, and he said he had some mish-mash exhaust put on. It was WAY too loud, and sounded like crap.

Thanks!

I have an RB muffler on the blue 83 and it sounds just right: not loud, but with a pleasant low rumble that I can sense a half block away. Very nice. I'll put the same on my other cars.

I have the entire RB exhaust and it sounds g.reat. I think it is very slightly louder than stock

I previously had a custom 2.5" system with high flow cat & muffler and it was so loud I had to yell to carry on a conversation in the car.

like my friend geoff said, it will make your car sound like an exotic sports car (not that it already dosent )

I have the Racing Beat long dual primary setup on my '85 12a. At idle and cruising the sound is very acceptable, only slightly lounder than stock with a nice low tone. When under hard acceleration, it has kind of a sharp edged "brap" tone to it; not too loud, but noticable.

In normal street driving, the setup is slightly louder than stock, and the tone is better.

i had the streetport exhuast on my gsl-se and it sounded really nice. its not very loud at all and has a really nice tone to it. its pretty much what 31rx7 said.

I had the header and center section of the racing beat streetport setup, with two pipes over the axle, and a N1 muffler.

I loved how it sounded until I blew the cheap collector at the back clean off the car.

The racing beat parts still looked like new when I sold them later.

I have the RB streetport exhaust on both my 84 and 83. The 83 is ported and has a tinny sound that the 83 does not. Both are 4 port 13B's with twin Weber's.

couldn't put it better myself. very true.

It's a bit too quiet for me. I may be selling it soon and building something custom.

I have a short clip on my web site, under videos

I can't stand the annoying metallic sound that some mufflers and piping tend to create. I believe it is usually with stainless steel piping and with thiner walls of exhaust when it does that.

Hey those were some nice videos, but not everyone had a 13b (12a). Does anyone have one of a stock 12a with a racing beat muffler on it??

i have the RB street port setup on my 12A and it is considerably quieter. I kind of miss the noise. No cat and two silencers sure do the trick.
