Searched, 2nd Gen RB header on GSLSE
Im looking into buying a 2nd gen RB header and wondering if it will fit on my SE.
And iv heard RB headers will need a custom exhaust cuz they dont fit a stock set up.
Has anyone done this before? iv heard they fit my 13b housing but wondering if theres problems id run into.

If it is JUST the header, then it will NOT bolt up to the factory connecting pipe (the one just aft of the catpipe) The engine is essentially the same, so I believe it will bolt to the block just fine, but I would wait for others to confirm. Also, is it a street or road race header?

I had both and compared them side by side. The only differences I could tell was the inside diameter of the piping was bigger for the 2nd gen header so I went with that. This is in my 85 GS w/a 13B, which is basicly the same as a GSL-SE. The length overall was longer and it hung lower but nothing hit or rubbed the underneath of the car. I always scrape pulling out of a steep driveway or going over a speedbump but that presilencer is made heavy duty for sure so it takes the hits pretty well so far and it's been about 3years of daily driving.
After the header I used the matching 2nd gen RB presilencer (for the same inside diameter) and had a local muffler shop mate a pipe from the back of the presilencer to a RB road race muffler at the point where both pipes joined into a single pipe. It cost a little bit more for the road race muffler even though I didn't use the dual pipe set-up but the inside diameter of the single piping portion of the road race muffler was larger matching the header and presilencer up front. It's kinda borderline of being a little bit loud for a daily driver tooo.

The thing on the back is mainly there for looks, although it does do some muffling on its own.
Most aftermarket exhaust systems that flow well end up being a chain of mufflers with a little pipe here and there.
