If you shop around you can get the system for around $415 to $425 shipped.


nopistons regularly has the borla setup for ~$370. borla is nice. with an RB presilencer and cat replacement pipe you still have a bung for the split air pipe and your ports should still function. i have a friend that is running that setup.

my race pipe came in today and it has the hook up for the ports! I have to remove my air pump now though because it dosent have the hook up for that. I could drop the 9lbs anyway. Quick question will leaving the holes in the motor from the air pump open harm my engine?

if your talking the same port that comes on the racing beat pre silencer that hooks up to the stock connection that should work just fine

the line for the 6 ports joins the line comming from the air pump so it should all work out fine

Choose wisely (hint...keep them working even if you use an air pump and rpm switch) .
Whoa.. so let me get this straight, since I've never heard of this. I'm REALLY wet behind teh ears to FC's, by the way, but love and do constant research on 7's, primarily FD's until recently when I purchased an FC.. anyways. You swap the exhaust and loose horsepower??
