Should I? Used Racing Beat Mufflers

Used Racing Beat mufflers in great shape, old black cannister design. What might be wrong with them? Do the innards wear/blow out? I have to replace my stock original mufflers, and spending $576 doesn't thrill me.

racing beat mufflers are awesome and will outlast the lifetime of your car.
if you can find a good pair used i say go for it. they are even better quality then stock mufflers and are still quiet

$200 for the mufflers - no damage - 3" chrome tips look good. Don't know how old, or how many miles.

look at the rest of the muffler...ask how old..can you hear them? Look for leaks around the welds...but I would jump on them for that much money if they look good!!

trevor is right, if there are no loose internal parts and the welds look good then grab up asap. i have a pair on my car and i know a friend who's had a pair for over 11 years and they still look/perform like brand new

I have the same type of RB mufflers the black ones with the 3" chrome tips they are very quiet with a cat on, but i now have a straight pipe from the manifold to the mufflers but they still arent very loud but i think they sound very good, sounds like a good buy, and yeah ask if u can hear them....

Good Luck
