Yup. Same bends, from there, back. Only difference is the beginning-end.

I've got the RB REV2 system (the car WAS N/A), and going to a larger diameter, single that I've also got... Luckily it's the same.

No kidding.... The shipping ALONE would equal the cost of the RB system, NEW.

Damned thing's HEAVY! Oddly enough, the single I'm going to weighs less than the RB 'Y-'pipe and dual mufflers, by themselves.

The single system has the RB DP > 3" piping > RB pre-silencer > more 3" > and a whompus, Supra-sized muffler (like 5" or something). If I could swing either getting the car to the exhaust shop, or getting my welder back, from my boy, I'd cut out the pre- and pipe it directly to the DP...

If I can, tomorrow, I'll take a pic of both.

The only exception is that the TII system that's on RB, now is chromey and mine is the black series from a couple of years ago... If I can off-load it, I'll probably take a drill and wire-wheel to it and take off the surface crap.

You're looking for the 'Y' and the duals, yeah?

On the NA? Yeah. I think that it would wreck eardrums across several districts... Least with the turbo I have SOME deadening, inline.

I'm pretty sure the older black RB exhausts were mild steel, so it might be a bad idea to wire-wheel off the black coating. You might want to check this out first.

Will do that; thanks, man. My thought was if I did that, then I 'd go BACK over it with 500° engine paint.

I recently did my UIM and the piece that attaches to the TB (connecting to the charge-pipe) in the same: One full coat of 500° red, then black, then several red. Came out sweet, but if I'm just going to do the exhaust, I'm thinking just a few duster-coats of the black...

Hopefully that'll not only seal it, and give it some heat protection, but also make it a little more muted, if/ when it gets mounted.

I did wire-wheel my DP, so that there won't be any crap between it and the heat-wrap, when I do it, but was contemplating on the Black engine-paint, before-hand...
