Racing Beat Exhaust Pics

Ive seen a few threads going around lately requesting pics of the Racing Beat turbo back exhaust, so without further ado...

BTW - The exhaust has only been on the car two weeks and keep in mind that my car is very dirty.

Man thats nice. Looks really high quality!


Is it ok to lift the car up from the diff like that? lol, I want to lift the rear of my car with jackstands but I have no idea where to put two of them in the rear to hold the car, I was thinking underneath the shocks there in your last pic, but im not to sure if thats safe.

Nice! Is the down pipe 2.5 or 3"? I can't seem to remember.

It's good practice to replace all bushings to the exhaust. They've endured a beating over there lifetime and It'll help to promote a true alignment of your exhaust.

Im positive that its 3" for the turbo and 2.5 for the NA, thats for the complete exhaust package.

BlaCkPlaGUE I do It all the time from there.

*edit*

It seems we keep posting at the same time. I'm trying to play catch up.

Those bushings look pretty new to me.

yeah, you can lift from the diff. Put the jackstands on the "frame rails" that are just outside of the tranny tunnel. For good measure you should put something in front of the front wheels to make sure it doesnt roll forward.

That exhuast is pretty nice, but i enjoy large japanese style cans.

The downpipe is 3' all the way to the Y pipe. I replaced all the exhaust hangers with new OEM hangers.

I have the old non SS version of the Racing Beat Catback system on mine. I didn't want all the bling... plus the price was right.

I have the racing beat turbo back exhaust system. It really is a nice system. Oh and for the exact measurement, the down pipe is 3.15 inches. Frikkin insane!

It's what the FSM instructs you to do, so yeah...

Im positive that its 3" for the turbo...
From the RB website:

"The Turbo II High Performance Exhaust system incorporates a 3.15-inch (80mm) down pipe from the turbo outlet that mates to a presilencer section. From the head of the Y-pipe two 2.375-inch (60mm) pipes extend to the ceramic wool-packed 304-stainless steel rear main mufflers."
