I saw an older TII racing beat exhaust that is all black except the tips. I was wondering if it was basically the same as the new REV TII system as far as performance and sound. I searched and couldn't find anything on it. Anybody know anything about it?

 

As far as I know, they're the same. Sound is slightly different since the material used is not the same. Some would say it's better sounding than the REV TII.

 

Ok. Just wondering. I saw it online once earlier today and I didn't know if it was maybe a fake or not just because I had never seen it before so I figured I would ask.

 

No problem, I personally like the older RB because the exhaust tips are longer - good for S5's so the bumper doesn't get scorched.

 

They are the same. I have one of each.

 

I've had an older T2 3" exhaust for about 3 years now on my personal car. I bought it used off these forums. I haven't had any problems.

 

used to be steel , I think it sounded better

 

I heard it was something to do with being Less conspicuous.
RB made them so Guys would not be yanked over in Cali,.
A shiny Exhaust (cans glaring out the back) would raise attention.
But that is "here say".(haha!)
I have the Black mufflers,,they Sound Freakin Great,it makes the Car.

 

The set I bought was from racing beat directly. They are stainless. The only difference should be the chrome.

 

the early ones were painted black mild steel

 

I remember reading that the older style one were made by rsr.

 

the older black systems are actually better, they are 80mm instead of 75mm. plus the Y is better on the old ones.

RSR made the old ones, but ive seen several different muffler/pipe designs.
