definitely. All I ever seem to find when searching for exhaust info is stuff like "just installed, it's awesome!"

a sound clip would be more productive

What sort of write up... its a cat back... maybe takes a hour to do if you got some stuck bolts...

Not to sound sarcastic, but how much more of a write would would it be than:

Jack up car, Remove old bolts, remove old cat back, install new cat back, lower car, find some dumpster or scrap metal guy that you can shove the old cat back in.

You forgot:

-jack up car
-remove old bolts
-remove old cat back
-install new cat back
-lower car
-find some dumpster or scrap metal guy that you...etc.
-apply sticker

i think the word he was looking for was 'critique'.

I was gonna do a writeup for my racing beat and i was gonna take more pics but it was such a fast process I didn't take enough pics and just forgot about doing the writeup.
as these gentleman have stated it's useless

hectorcobra03

I personalywould like your opinion .

How hard was to install it? did all the hookups match with the stock hangers?

How loud ? maybe compared to a single exsaust s2000 or other cars? louder?

does the cap that goes on the exaust exit quiets the exaust? a lot? not so much?

I'm woking on a 1991 non turbo for It-s competition

Thanks

the only thing i would suggest would be use a jack to support the stock exhaust when you unhook it, cuz its heavy.

i have the corksport catback with rb ps and dp and it sounds nice. it is loud i got 94db from 75 feet at the auto-x, so buy the silencler with the exhaust if you ever plan to track the car

i got pulled over twice with that cat back slap in a borla xr 1 as a midpipe

RotaDrift

yeah i was probably just going to post a sound clip, my problems if any with the install, and an after pic not a full write up. **** the thing didn't even come with instructions so you know it's not hard. I mostyle was asking because i never see anybody with a corksport cat back. I have stock cats aswell for the guys out there that just want to hear the difference of stock and single side exit. Do you guys want a "before" sound clip?or would that be pointless

RotaDrift

^mostyle? oh that's suppose to be mostly

Before and after soundclip would be sweet, it would eliminate the "well, you dunno how loud it REALLY is unless you are there in person" factor. :-D

RotaDrift

i just thought that the stock sound clip would be pointless because.....well who can forget the sound of a second gen...slight pitch change when the secondaries open...mmmmm....oh i need a towel for the drool

DeclareYrWar

id love to hear a sound clip. there are nowhere near enough of them. i'm thinking about replacing my racing beat cat back with a corksport and i have racing beat n/a downpipe and presilencer combo so i'd really like to hear somthing along those lines so i can see the difference.

You forgot:

1. go to the hospital to treat the heart attack you had when you fired it up, and for the bleeding ears from the drive to the hospital

(for my 300th useless post this month)

adrock3217

Ewww....don't replace an RB system with a Corksport! Bleh!


Replace that downpipe with a REAL RB header...get rid of that POS stock exhaust manifold..and you will be happy.


And meh, if your not..save the money of buying the Corksport exhaust, and just take off your RB mufflers, and run open y-pipe/presilencer. NO joke, when I swapped my RB mufflers for my Corksport catback (back when I had a collected exhaust), there was NO difference in sound between open presilencer, and corksport catback. Literally.

the writeup
I grabbed a propane/oxy setup and blew the **** out of the old exhaust.

took off the 5th + 6th ports

took off the acvs

took me a little white using map gas to pop off the heat shield

undid the stock headerbolts

bolted on racing beat header, then racingbeat y pipe and each muff sep.(using rubber hangers and the custom metal one for the y pipe)

I had highflow cat and I made it fit with a mig and some pipe and flanges.

now as for sound, the car sounds more quiet because my old exhaust had 5 holes in it, and I love my racing beats

DeclareYrWar

i just dont like how quiet my racing beat is. do you think with the header on there it would be louder? i also like somthing that sounds a little more like a rotary and not so smooth. i mean i love my racing beats, its just a little quiet for me.

adrock3217

WHAT?!?!?! The rotary engine was made with the idea of it being "smooth" !!!!

A header will increase the DB's a lot.

jonesfromindia

word.

my apex'i N1 is wayyyyyy too quiet. but it beats driving up to LA having to listen to..BBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRR, the whole way. but i would still love it to be louder. love the deep tone too.

you'll find out why there isn't all that many people running it once you finish.



the setup is stupid loud.... and i mean stupid LOUD!!! you will need to add another moffler/resonator to quiet it down some.

RotaDrift

I was going to section it out. Muffler, axle peice, cat-axle peice. I'll have my friend help me so getting it out should be easy....except for the fact i have to just use ramps for the lifting method....lame

RotaDrift

the power series i got bolts up to my stock cat. It shouldn't be that loud.of course.....I haven't found any sound clips of an na fc with stock cats and a corksport power series cat-back exhaust. I think I'll have to change that
