I haven't weighed mine yet, but I can tonight. It's the "new" model stainless steel twin tip.

I can't remember the weight off hand when i weighed mine several months ago (the new stainless model), but i do remember that it is a few pounds lighter than stock, not heavier. The weight difference was around 5 pounds

Does anyone know why Racing Beat stopped contracting RSR to do their exhausts a while back and how the new exhausts perform relative to the older ones?

I remember someone on here actually having dyno results that the apexi made a pretty significant amount of power more than the RB dual. It was something like 15 with a single...which is pretty had to believe. I have the dual tip with full 3-3.5 inch exhaust/single turbo/ wastegate routed back in, and anything louder than what I have would pretty much make me stop driving the car. I couldn't even imagine the apexi.

This is not true. The greddy sp is very comparable to the racing beat in noise level. I dont particularly care for the look of the sp's tip but it is extremely quiet. Cant answer your question about performance but yes the Racing beat dual tip is very queit but it isnt your only choice. The SP is very close to the same noise level.

Hope this hel
