The collector looks custom....but the primaries and flange look suspiciously racing beat, sans their logo in the flange.

I would venture that is *ALL* Racing Beat - the collector is also of their design. Given that somebody marked the post-collector for cutting, I would think this was part of a 'streetable kit' that they used to sell which could be combined with long-primaries.

The 'best' setup they had back in the late 90's was uncollected long primaries back past the rear axle, and then collected into a single RB Powerpulse muffler. I don't recall what power it made, but it was loud. They later moved to the short primary collectors like you see here. HTH,

Im the one selling that header. (well, its at my parents house, and theyre selling it for me). I have the same exact header for my -SE, and i also think that its an old school RB setup. I seem to rememebr reading somewhere that they didnt put the logo on the flange back in the day. Anyways, the flange and piping are both thick, just like a modern RB. Im planning on cutting the pipe just before the collector, and running duals all the way back. Either collect it jsut before the muffler, or get a dual in muffler. you could do the same with this one, and it would rip. PM me if you have any questions on it.

wouldnt RB have the logo? after all, they ARE Racing Beat?

this matches my header exactly, I can not confirm the age of the header but I have had the car for the last decade, and It was most likely made in the 80's
