RB exhaust

Its not nearly as loud as an N1. I like it a lot. quiet while crusing and sounds great when you get on it.

Sound clips anyone?

I've got the RP 50mm cat back right now, I like it alot, but it's too loud for me once I get to about 70mph, and this is my daily driver for now.

THe RB exhaust is pretty quiet compared to other aftermarket exhausts. I replaced my exhaust with a custom single exhaust and it was much loused than the RB.

I have the full turbo back system and its pretty quiet even with the streetport. But once you put the pedal to the metal it performs pretty good!!!.. If you hate cops pulling you over for exaust being crazy too big i'd get the RB system bacause the tip is not too big. If you want tooks and dont care about power then i'd stick with the N1 or one of them universal muffler.

I'm running the RB pre-silencer down pipe set up and I like it a lot, it has just a little louder sound than with the cats. In my opinion I think it is the great choice for a daily driver which is what my car is.

The racing beat turbo back is a sweet exhaust. it is high qual and will last forever. it sounds really good, it's not too loud. and the tips are normal size, not huge ricer tips. the only problem is it flows too good... you will get boost creep. it's just a matter of how much and if you have the fuel to handle it.

you can't buy the greddy one anymore. and it's just a cat back. it won't do anything power wise. you need a downpipe and either mid pipe or high flow cat if you want the power gains.

Actually the Greddy Power Extreme exhaust is avaible through RX7.com, but they go fast since Greddy is makng limited quantities just for them. 900 bucks is pretty steep for a cat-back, but these are one of the loudest exhausts I've heard, with no cats and down/midpipe of course, I may get one for myself soon

OMG!..900 bucks just for a cat back???...RB sells their full exaust for less than 800 bucks. And im talking about good quality FULL Exaust!!..wake up and smell the coffee man. Personally RB full exaust for TII makes alot of power. Greddy makes loud noises..

But anyways, i love my RB exaust ....ohhh did i mention it also spits fire????... ....

Would I see similar power gains with a 3" DP, highflow cat and an N1 dual as the RB system??

where did you guys buy your racingbeat exhaust from? RB discontinued their complete exhaust system for Turbo 2.
