I think for fit, form, and function you can't beat the Racing Beat dual tip. I did a lot of research and decided that for my application it was best. This in no way impugns the other systems that are available, I am sure there are pros and cons to each. One thing that DOES seem to be a certainty is that the RB has the best "fit" of all of them, with none of the problems like melting the rear valance, etc, that some others do.

No such thing as "best". There are ones that people "prefer", but there is no "best".

I'm partial to my M2 dual. It's my favorite exhaust that I have heard on an FD. They are getting hard to find, though.

I had an M2 but traded it to a local forum member for her RB duals. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't! The RB *is* a nicer looking, better built unit, but doesn't sound nowhere near as nice! The M2 exhausts are sourced from Australia and *still* made by Hi-Tech, BTW, so they can be had. Only problem is getting them imported, and at a fair price. When M2 was still around, they sold these exhausts for $499, however, direct from HT is something like $800.

i love my RB duals. The sounds is very crisp and quite. But when you romped the throttle it lets everyone know there is still a turboed rotary under the hood.

I ordered the RB's last night, thanks for all the input!
The reman engine is going back together smoothly and I redid the vac hoses. Just waiting on a new ACT clutch before the engine goes back in. I just hope the m/f starts and runs when it's all back together!
