RB... great exhaust and I love mine.
2 things that crack me up about people that complain about RB duals:
1) does not flow well or as good as other 3 inch exhausts out there... Yet there is not one single piece of evidence that supports it. They only base it on the fact that it's not obnoxiously loud therefore it must not flow as well. When in fact Canister design has a great effect on muffling sound.
2) It weighs so much... Well unless the driver races for a living then the extra 15 lbs (opposed to a greedy) will go unoticed. Complaining about an exhaust being 15 lbs heavier on a car that is mostly street driven with some light autoX/drag is pretty ridiculous IMO.

well i believe that there is just a tad and i mean very minimal if any back pressure to it, the day i was getting it tuned by Steve Kan, he even said it. my car was creeping with the boost but my friends with almost the same mods as me with the exception of a RB duel tip and a greddy stock mount...
as for the weight you have to make a sacrifice if you want a great sounding exhaust.
promise i will take pics of it 2morrow morning with my brothers camera because i still cant find my dam wire to connect mine. I already installed it but i didnt mount it 100% its only 99.9% done.. i had to order a new bracket because of the fact of the exhaust i had didn't use the stock mount on the passenger side so i guess they threw that out years ago.

I run the Racing Beat 3" exhaust to Dual-Tip muffler.
I LOVE it.
I like it because it looks stock, but the tips are slightly larger than stock. It produces a very....non-fart can like sound...but when you WOT, it still sounds like a bat out of hell. I love love love it.
Dyno video in my signature for an example.

Just took it out for the first time in a month, felt good... the exhaust didnt sound that loud compaired to the silencer i had on the car.... maybe i should take out the rx7store resonator. or maybe it was just me. i was also running only 7 psi if that makes a diff

yes, i ordered it a couple days ago and it will be here 2morrow. but the hangers are doing a really good job actually, i tried to see if it moved much before i took it out and it did not, minimal movement. i was just going to let it get to operating temps and turn off, but i checked it and just went around the block till operating temps then i washed the car, and put it back..

Yep, Looks very good
Well, I'll just have to get off the big bucks and order the RB Catback. I've been holding off for a used one. Lots of other places I'll be spending money soon enough.
Thanks for posting the photo's,

I have a 1995 brochure and in one of the pics I swear the exhaust are Racing Beats.
This is weird too, I have a Bonez dp with my new RB cb. Intake and PFC. I get a drone at 69 miles per hour only. Anything above or below is fine. The drone is not loud but it is there. Kinda weird.

First,
Just got off work and started the car (windows up)
Second,
Cruising till i get on the highway. (windows up)
Third,
Getting on the highway Wot (windows up)
Fourth,
Windows were down, and some wind noise.
i need to get rid of my rx7store resonator i think its still a bit to quiet for me. maybe a res that quiets it a little less that the magnaflow one.

Vids are good, sound clips good. The RB dual tip is just the ****. I love mine, I know that.
It is just interesting hearing your 5 speed when I am so used to my auto....such a difference.
Some day I will post some clips of mine for those who have never heard what an automatic is like when driven hard...with no boost drop-off...no 'pfffsshh' from a blow-off valve.
