I don't have a pic of my racing beat dual handy but right now everyone says dual tip is better :)

rynberg 06-28-05 04:40 PM

I think dual tips provide a more sophisticated look. Running a large single tip exhaust just looks like every Civic/Integra driving around....

Here's mine....:)

is there anyway to get the rb duals without the inside tip? i don't like how that looks :o:

i agree with Rynberg on this 100%. I have the Racing Beat duallies too, but then, i'm older than my years and enjoy a quiet sophisticated look... its like drinking Dom Perignon instead of Colt 45 :D

Thats exactly what I was thinking!! :)

c00lduke, It looks like your exhaust is slightly angled... If it is, what is the degree of the angle? I am interested in doing this but I don't want it to angle too far. It maybe just the picture though...

The angle might be a bit exagerated due to the angle of the shot. But, I'm pretty sure the Apex'i N1 all come out at this angle.

nopistons94 06-28-05 09:12 PM

you have two cyms ??? :D

rotorbrain 06-28-05 09:37 PM

hmmm. . . thanks for the pics guys. . . im still horribly torn. hahahaha, i dont miss my old hks catback at all. . . it was huge. . . however it seemed like it kinda fit the car. NOW, i have done a custom exhaust. the muffler is black with a single 3" outlet. i have plenty of room for a long tip so i could do a dual tip setup. i would never be messing with this had my 4" tip not been on back-order until july 7th. im starting to think i should spring the extra bones for a dual tip config. but that greddy sp didnt look to bad. i think the reason im leaning toward duals is because of the black muffler. if it were stainless id probably stick with the single outlet. . . but since its black. . . i dont want too much of it to show or i dont want a stainless tip to be "hanging out of nowhere". hahahaha. also, im wondering if the dual tip setup will make it a little quieter. . . though i doubt it. :D

thanks a lot guys!!!!

paul

oh, btw, those tires are HUGE!!!!!

jic 06-28-05 09:43 PM

then again...the rb duals look sexy too

Mp0629 06-28-05 09:47 PM

Not sure if I'm a fan of the HUGE tires.

nopistons94 06-28-05 09:49 PM

I like the angled look though. Thinking about selling my peter farrell exhaust for something like that

RB sells a single tip also

rotorbrain 06-29-05 09:15 AM

i think hes talking about the double wall tip. . . and i believe the OLD rb duals were w/o it. . . but all the new ones have the double wall. . . i personally like it.:D

yeah, i just cancelled my order for a single tip and ordered a dual tip. . . should be nice. :D. . . just as long as its quieter than w/o the tip at all. hhahaha.

The older RSR-made RB dual tips don't have that double-layer look. However, it still has that thick rolled look on the edge. They also don't have the RB logo on the sides of the tips.

If you can't find any info, I can snap a pic of mine tonight.

Dave

Nathan Kwok 06-29-05 11:38 AM

I like the old style RSR exhaust, wish they still made them in that style. The new style looks kind of "fat".

please do, and post it in here. I'd really like to find one of those exhausts for sale

you funny lookin goof ball!! What were you thinkin with this thread????

Jk


I like the duals better. Much classier and more sleek imo. But I had to go single to get the flamage and extra power. Greddy's titanium single sounds pretty good imo and I like the weight savings. I liked my custom duals much much better for looks and sound though.

Fire is cool Mmmm k

I believe this is the old style Racing Beat, but I've only had it 6 months so I can't be 100% sure.

Not to steal your thread rotorbrain...But could you take a rough measurement of the width and length of the racing beat muffler dgeesaman?

-Alex

CronoMasamune 06-29-05 10:35 PM

Dual. Sorry kinda dark

Of what, the canister or tips?

I can tell you now, it hangs a little long; I'll bet the tips are 1" further out the back than they should be. My exhaust fits kinda crappy - still not sure which component is making things difficult.

Just the canister.

I'm planning on running a dual exhaust (one for each turbo, custom TT setup) and I want everything on the outside to look/sound as stock as possible, including the exhaust. Since the RB only has a single inlet, I plan on buying a Magnaflow muffer, with dual inlets/outlets, and welding some Magnaflow tips to it. I'm just not sure what size muffler to get, so i'm hoping that the measurement can give me a rough idea on what size to get.

-Alex

rotorbrain 06-30-05 08:47 AM

alex, dont worry about your petty thievery!!!! :D this thread is here to help everyone. . . including myself.

about the muffler size. it all depends on your tip length as well. the original tip length for my single setup was 12" or so. . . the case length on my flowmaster is 13" i believe. . . theres plenty of room under there.

i must say however. . . youre wanting to run duals all the way back right???? what size? based on what ive just done. . . its not all that easy to fit piping in that area. i went with 3" piping and that was somewhat hard. i assume youll go with dual 2.5" piping. . . that equals MORE than 5" running through that area when you add in the spacing between the two. itll be hard. . . ill say that confidently. if you do it. . . by all means. . . post it. cause i wanna see it. . . or better yet. . . come by davids house and let me see it. . . cause im willing to be itll be crafty. itd have to be in order to get it to fit.

also, what is the point of doing that? do you get better HP gains from true dual on a twinturbo setup? i wouldnt know. . . if it were me. . . id be collecting early on with a magnaflow in the midpipe out to one 3" pipe to the rear. . . finish with the catback of your choice.

Well it's not a problem running dual dp's, and dual straight pipes, it's just a problem from the cat back. I took a closer look today, and I may not be able to fit it. It would probably start to get damn heavy also, so I may just end up running dual dp's, and y it in at the straight pipe. However, i know it's been done before. Can't think of his s/n though.

It should free up some hp, however i'm not totally sure how much. Whatever hp it'd free up, would probably be worthless once you factor in the weight of the whole thing. It'd only be a few rwhp though. (1-5) I'm just wanting something that is one off, and sounds/looks diffrent from everything else. I really don't think there's a single thing on my car that anyone else has, except the block. lol I'll prlly end up using the RE TI straight pipe, and using the Greddy TI exhaust that I already have on the car.

-Alex

rotorbrain 06-30-05 08:46 PM

you want something that sounds one off??? come hear my flowmaster super 40 deltaflow!!! i dont have any tips on it yet. . . (just ordered them), but i think itll sound a bit different. :D

i think your idea of collecting them at the midpipe is a good idea. that way you can spend less on the catback area. just find a muffler that you like that you can do that with. should be pretty awesome. if you need some help let me know.

paul

rotorbrain 06-30-05 08:50 PM

just had an idea. . . dont the apexi n1 duals y-out before the rear wheels? if so. . . you could get that catback and match it up from there. . . that way you can have your true dual system. :D

paul

oneflytrini 06-30-05 09:16 PM
