Whats your exhaust set up???

Ive been torn for 2 weeks over what I should do with my exhaust. I dont know much about them but I am learning. So far the only piece I have purchased is a Racing Beat Downpipe which hasnt arrived yet...What goes really well with that? The more info you have the better, ty much....Ohh and a friend told me my downpipe is no good until I replace my stock exhaust manifold, please tell me hes full of ****???

Dude do a quick search, mad **** should come up.

A lot of rotary guys like Racing Beat, it's quiet and sounds great until around 3500+ RPM. Downside is it's heavy and expensive.

A lot of other guys go with Borla and love it. Some just get a RB header and go custom with the rest, throwing in a Borla XR-1 muffler somewhere, and love it.

Search though, a lot of information should come up.

And being that you got the downpipe for your NA, you're just bypassing your cats, which will net you a bunch of HP.

I have a RB header, RB presilencer, and a Corksport power series cat-back. All of the products listed above are very high quality and easy to install. I just had to do a TINY bit of dremeling to the presilencer to the cat-back.

Also: I don't have any knowledge of the flowmaster series.

I just finished my exhaust today, and love how it sounds! I have a racing beat header 2.5", and just today i replaced my 2.5" straight pipe with a magna flow cat, to factory Y and mufflers! It sounds so much bettter now. And best of all I passed my emmissions test no problem, all the readings were super low except the hydro carbons which just scrapped by, good enough for me. The cat probably wont last long but what ever i got my etest behind me now and it only cost 57.50 for a brand new cat! Good luck jay

I got two exhaust setups:

Pre-smog, completely stock.
Post-smog, 3" DP > straight pipe > 3" custom y-pipe

I have and have only used full RB setups period. IMO they are the best, but then again who the hell am I anyway.
