RB headers & corksport racepipe

can these 2 parts fit along with each other and still connect up to stock catback location? or will it end up short and be needin an adapter or will end up longer and need it custom welded together? thanks.

Our racepipe replaces, and is exactly the same length as, the stock cat. From what I know the RB header does not reach the stock cat, you will need a piece of pipe to go from the end of the header to the racepipe.

It'll end up being an inch or two short. you'll need an adapter.

The solution is to use the RB power pulse, since it ends at the catback position and bolts up to the RB header.

then use the CS cat back

Wouldn't it just be cheaper to have a pipe made up to connect the header to the catback, just the cost of 2 flanges a small length of pipe and a couple of bucks for soemone to weld it, or you might have a friend that could do it for free.

yeah if he had a turbo...

But since his profile says he has a SE (read non turbo) if he does that, then his aux ports won't work.

With the RB piece they still will work.

Also with the presilencer installed, he won't go deaf. It'll still be loud, but not really obviously illegal.

I have the same set up as IceMark just said to do. RB Header/Presilencer/CS Cat-back. And its definitly illegal loud . As long as you keep your foot off it you'll be fine (Not revving 5k threw town everday).
