RB exhaust headers

exactly as the title states...what are your guys thoughts, opinions, etc...any HP gains (not a big deal either way) sound, (if im going to be doing full exhaust anyway) will it make a big difference if i get one then the full racing beat exhaust?


Thanks

Zak

mine's good. good sound, really good freeing up in the exhaust department. those + racing beat exhaust = enormously loud... especially with a big ole streetport like mine. all around good headers. reccomend them.

i have rb headers+presilencer combo. when my car was running it was hooked up to a stock catback so it sounded pretty stockish, just a little louder. when i put my exhaust back on i have a GReddy PE catback waiting.

You will notice some added power through the whole rpm range, especially the low to mid range though. I have the header, presilencer, stock Y pipe and unknown custom mufflers and it is suprisingly quiet, Rotarygod can vouch for that.

Be warned though, I heard the stock mufflers sound like *** with a header.

i had the presilencer though if that makes a difference.

PM Banzaitoyota on the forum. It's design is far superior to the RB product with equal build quality.

Contact him or 1Revin7 (or 1Revvin7) at the picture in my sig. They both build superior quality header to Racing Beats. Racing Beat's will help and will be cheaper, but by far not the best.

It's a header (not headers)
It is def. louder even with the pre-silencer.

and about the difference between the RB catback and custom made it all depends on the mufflers.

The header is the best bang for your buck and it sounds awesome!
