Thumbs down racingbeat exhuast question:/

Is racingbeat the best exhuast that yu can get for a fc that's duel piped? I saw this other exhuast by the name of knightsports how is that. Will racingbeat have a big effect for my 87 t2 they say on there add it increases 60hp and thats a lot. Does it? Help me choose. Thanks

If you don't mind noise get CS headers and catback, I love the sound and butt dyno loves the gain.

I never liked RB's exhaust sound nor the stock look they give, just my 2cents

By putting on the racing beat rev system for your turbo, because of the free flowing exhaust it will make you boost higher then normal. If you do get a aftermarket exhaust of any kind, boy I hope you have ported the turbo....

Racing Beat builds a good product. If you have the money, go for it. It's also a key selling point if you ever sell the car.

RB, imo, is the best exhaust for the 7 on the market. a very nice exhaust. pricey but nice.

Racing beat exhaust sounds like weird sex when you open it up, but is queit and peiceful at idle. I love the sound, I thought about trying out a different setup but its just to nice to part with.

best thing about racing beat is probably the OE fit and finish that you just dont get from other aftermarket exhausts. plus it looks good and sounds good (best for a street car.)

Get the RB turbo back system, but if you're not using a cat, be prepared to boost creep. Do a search on porting the wastegate.

Buy a good mufflerand go to an exhaust shop and get turbo back 3" for like $160....i had Racing Beat in the past and did not like it. It is great quality but too quiet for me and definitely not worth the price tag
