RB full Turbo exhaust system... Worth it?

Ive been checking out this...
1987-91 TURBO II Complete High Performance Exhaust System
from racingbeat. They want $789 for it. Is it worth it?
Does anyone else make a more affordable "turbo back" exhaust system for my 90TII?

Thanks

It is a COMPLETE exhaust system....turbo to bumper for under 800.

How much would it cost to do that....by piecing it together.....at nowhere the quality....

Comparing my old ApexI N1 cat back to the RB is just ...well no comparison.

It all depends on what sound you like. If you like softer more refined sound, go with the RB system. If you want your car to be loud, go with the apex or corksport. I have the apex single and love it, but its not for everyone. In fact, if I had bought the exhaust, I would have gotten the RB system. Either way you are getting a quality system.

You cannot beat the quality of the racing beat mufflers, or the rest of this exhaust for that matter. And the Turbo Back exhaust system is relativly light compared with some of thier other exhaust components for other aplications, weight usually being the only negative on racing beat exhausts...

I would buy again in a heartbeat.

Not to give them any ideas but if they charged 200-300 more for the whole system it would still be a reasonable price.
