Well, the best price i'm not sure, i think its corksport. If you're looking for an opinion i'd say racing beat because thats what i own and i have no complaints. I've heard that the N1 mufflers and all that are really really loud, and on top of that, your car is made for dual exhaust, so go dual.

N1 = Lound as ****
Corksport = Cheap

I've only heard good things about the racing beat unit even though it's pretty expensive.

racing beat if you could afford it.i would choose it over the N1.

corksport is still the best value aside from fabbing up your own exhaust.

its not a question of whether you can afford the RB cat-back, just save up for it, definitly worth the money that you pay for the system.

Don't cheap out on your car, save up for the RB system. I have it on my car and there is very few exhausts I would substitute it with.

Cheap EBay N1 mufflers are loud as ****.

Apexi N1's are relatively sedate compared to a Corksport.

Or go with the APEX N1. You don't need the Evo, the original work fine as does the GT. Like Jager, I own the APEX N1 and I like the sound.

RB anytime, a perfect compromise with a fairly low noise at idle and then comes alive when you stick that right foot down.

Racing Beat FTW. I had a Corksport catback on my T2 with all stock cats in, had a nice sound and wasn't too loud.

Alright, I have the RB turboback, and I don't think it's that loud at all, especially at idle. It seems slightly quieter than my stock exhaust with an exhaust leak. It's a nice, well made exhaust. Worth the money, imo.

Wow. so many people over night. LoL. Thanks guys, it seem alot people are saying RB all the way, but i have some few question between the differences system. From what i heard single exhaust would give you more hp over dual exhaust, wondering if there are any truth to it? and i heard that single exhaust system on 7 will get pull over more often then dual, is that also true?


Thanks Guys

not true.

As far as getting pulled over: yes but not because of the dual/single. It's mainly due to the insanely loud exhaust. A cop hears a loud car and automatically knows it's modified and you're screwed. Sleeper FTW.

Mind you, the RB system comes with a nice presilencer which most exhausts don't have. The RB will make things civil for those who aren't looking for attention.

I have the RB catback and I'm pretty happy with it. It's quiet so it doesn't sound all ricey and looks like stock too.

for you maybe. If this thread was "876portturbo's favorite exhaust" then i'd totally agree but it's not about you today.

you should tailor your posts to suit the needs of the person asking. You wouldn't answer the question:

"which car to get? FD or 240sx?"

with

"s2000"


would you???? come on guy. Look where he's from. If he's in CA then you know the smog laws are crazy here. You should also know that cops profile and go after loud cars. If you CLEARLY SEE that he's concerned about getting pulled over due to NOISE then why on earth would you recommend an exhaust that you just said was LOUD?????
