good choice. I had a magnaflow with headers and straight pipe and it would vibrate the change in my friend's car who was driving next to me...swapped a RB muffler and its alot more mellow....not sure if i like it though
Gonna swap back cuz its just more badass

It's the roadrace type... the collector is getting wacked and then the inlet is 2.5"
If I knew the 81-82 was 2.25 I would of definatly went with that since thats the diameter piping I'm running... ohhh well.
I'm going to videotape the tone of my current muffler so I can compare the two... For $350 I hope it's worth the difference.

Good choice. Same muffler I'm running. Well actually I have the whole SP system. The only problem I had with it was the over axle part was a bit tricky, partly because of how low the car was on the jack stands, and partly because the axle just didnt droop enough. I love it though, totally worth the money. Good mellow idle tone and she just screams at 7000RPM. For the money I doubt I could have been more impressed. As an added bonus, I won't be replacing it due to regular wear anytime soon

Forget that it handles glowing redhot, behind a streetported 14psi 13BT,forget that it passes CA noise regulations,forget that it fits and tucks in like the stock muffler.......its the fact that for 350 bucks,I have had almost 8 years and 50K miles where I didn't once have to doubt,worry or think that I might need to replace it. And it just keeps on going,like that Energizer bunny!

Here's a video of my current muffler...
Racing Beat header and presilencer into 2.5" piping to the muffler (r-active removable tip type)
Startup, idle, 3K, 4K, redline....
I've been driving around with this set-up for about 4 years, & since last Sept as a daily driver.

I love my Rb Exhaust.. I sounds awesome and it'll last forever! I had a Magnaflow on it when I got it and it was fabbed up to my SP exhaust but it was WAY too loud...

Rb Muffler = Big Thumbs Up.
Muffler's on... SUPER HUGE DIFFERENCE.
Start-up... to 3K... to 4K... to redline.
It took some driving to get used to knowing where to shift by noise alone... you can actually hear my fuel pump over the exhaust in both the video and while driving.

That certainly sounds good. Very familiar too. I can hear my Carter pump over it at idle. Thats the beauty of a well designed exhaust. Nice and quiet when you need it to be, and screaming when you want it to.

Your insane.
Nothing application specific is cheap,and they damn sure have proven their reliability over the years.$60 universal mufflers are worthless on a rotary,and the high quality ones that do hold up are almost always loud.Not everyone wants noise,and no one wants to have their muffler blow out every year.Quality cost money,and no one is arguing that RB mufflers dont hold up.
And if you think they are restrictive,just ask me how well my car accelerates.My setup is the epitomy of long term,high temp abuse in regards to rotary mufflers,and the RB unit I installed over 7 years ago is working just fine today.
