The racing beat turbo back has strait thru mufflers and presilencers, with no baffling. A supertrap muffler forces exhaust through the discs which act like spark arrestors, I have one on my bike.

^^ your pass. side tail light looks reeeeeeeally weird. like oxidized and not having the round circles underneath the lense (I know it has them but at that angle it looks like some sort of old toyota light or something)

so the RB Turboback exhaust combined with downpipe with a straight pipe is going to be loud as hell but shoot some nice flames, I don't really care what it does.

Any straight pipe will have you popping flames.

RB turbo back is not loud at all. I have it, i don't know if it shoots flames though. It was the other day when I was trying to find a vac leak though.

just about every straight through exhaust can shoot flames, supertraps will prevent flames, dunno who told you they would work unless you leave the discs out in which case there is no point in having supertraps.

I run the supertrap on my Bike minus the discs. It acts just like a regular strait thu bike muffler. In my opinnion the supertrap design with the discs is a horribly outdated gimmick. Its the perfect example of using backpresure to dampen sound. Compared to a racing beat or other strait thru muffler wich dosen't drop below the diamiter of the pipe.

Do you still have the emmissions equipment on your car? Even with a full exhaust you may still have to remove the air pump and ACV (Air Control Valve) because it has an anti afterburn valve in it which will prevent your car from shooting flames.

With Racing Beat..when properly installed..it shouldn't be close enough to burn the bumper ?

With new hangers, and engine mounts in good condition...they should stick out far enough to not burn the bumper at all. Unlike Apex'i and stuff.


Or at least..it looks this way on my NA and T2? O.o
