What kind of exhaust do you use on you 1st gen. and how loud is it?
I am currently switching my racecar back to a street car, and am using a RB 2 pipe header straight back to a dynomax muffler. which is way to loud.

 

If your exhaust has the dual pipes that don't collect until near the rear axle, run 2 presilencers. If it collects right after the header, then you need 1 really good one. You can use the RB pre-silencers or many are opting for the Borla XS/XR series of mufflers due to better pricing.

 

Are you using the rb presilencer and the borla xs/xr or just the muffler?

 

I made my own exhaust system out of 3" pipe for a future turbo upgrade with 2 Magnaflows. Way, way too loud. When the TII goes in, the mid-muffler will be replaced with a Borla, rear muffler may get changed too if it's still too loud. Live and learn from mistake and being cheap, lol. EBay is the best source for Borlas.

 

RB header to resinator to RB muffler with stock midsection pipe is not too loud for DD use

 

i have rb road race header with 2 pipes collected just at the axle then into rb muffler. kinda loud but not a problem here in sc. i did have the dual presilencers on it but removed them for alittle more sound. i have a vid on youtube with the silencers on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SQtwyL8cPc

for your borla needs

 

I dont have the dual header, but this video show's a RB streetable header with the RB Catalytic Converter-Delete Pipe with a 14" presilencer to Magnaflow Muffler.








I love this set up because daily driving (up to 3-4k) it isn't to loud, but if you want to open it up it screams for you...

 

Mine is a custom one that I bought that is header - dual 2" straight pipes all the way back to a Monza muffler.

I don't recommend this set up bah!

Maybe with two pre-silencers it would be a little more...refined.

 

RB Header, Borla Pro XS Muffler, Mazdaspeed Protege Muffler.

Rotary Engineering tuned exhaust (headers, two torpedoe silencers and the RE muffler). Sounds great but not too loud. I got this back in 1991! lol. Its still on the car and still holding up well.

 

define way to loud trochoid

 

Here is a video clip of when I had my Dell, and my new RB streetport.

Is that true dual?

 

To loud means I can't start it up late at night sitting in the driveway between my house and the neighbors, it rattle thier windows. When I was up at Ians' house, we were doing some tuning and jet changes, the guy from across the street came over and complained that his windows were rattling at idle. I so wanted to tell him to buy better windows, lol. Too loud means people sitting on the front porch when I drive by at 30 in a 25 mph zone call the cops cause they think I'm doing 60, no ****, that really happened. Cop was cool about it though. It also means I can't open it up to 7-8k cause it can be heard for well over 1/2 mile away.

 

RB Road race header collected straight to RB muffler. Very tame with a very nice sound.

thanks for all the replys , keep them coming

 

Close, I think mine's a bit louder though.

 

that's a friend's 83 gsl. did the vid the same day we did mine. his is the road race header with dual pipes all the way back, over the axle, and to each cbr muffler.

 

I cut my muffler off...My old one was stock and sounded like a tin can...now it sounds like it has a lot more power than it really does and is quite loud. However I got pulled over for not using my turn signal but he never said anything about it being to loud...maybe he was nice. I do was a racing beat dual silencer exhaust though...
