Anyone with sound clips of RacingBeat and/or Rotary Performance exhaust?

I tried searching for both and came up with nothing.

Im undecided as to which one I want to get out of these 2:

Racing Beat 1987-91 RX-7 TURBO II Cat-Back Street Exhaust System


Bönez Turboflo System - 87-91 T2 (Middle of Page-First Turbo piece)
+
RP 50mm Cat-back - 86-91 (Fifth from bottom of page)


A friend of mine with an 87 has the Racing Beat system and it sounds a little too stock for me... I dont want a high pitch sounding one as much as Id like more of a low "grumble".

Also, I should ask, is there anything wrong with either of these 2? Im budgeted to only be able to spend under the $1k mark, but if theres anything thats noticably better and costs slightly more (say $500), please let me know.


Thanks

btw, the low rumble/resonation isnt really there, it was a shitty camera mic.

Scott 89t2 has a sound clip. In my opinion, its just a bit louder and lower rumble at lower RPM's but the exhaust can sound really good when you bring it up to redline.

If you want super loud, get an Apexi N1 but you'll be setting off car alarms everywhere you go.

Get the RB, why would you want to be loud? You will draw wayyyy more "bad" attention if you go with the N1...
