Id go with racing beat duals. Sound good and look pretty cool.

Hey all i was thinkin of getting this one seems like a decent price but he says

'It will work for your car right now, but it will actually work better with the turbo motor since piping on the exhaust is kind of big. '

please let me know what you think i dont want to buy it without some feedback

Why not Get the Racing Beat Exhaust For A TII?...That way When you Go TII you are already SET?..I have a TII RB system on My N/A(going Turbo Next Season..Yeehah!)..it only took a Little fabbing..nothing that 40 bucks at Midas Couldn't fix though!

I have just put a 2 1/2" TII exhhaust on one of my N/A FCs. I only had to fab up a downpipe and adjusted a hanger, so far its working great. It is quieter than when it was on the TII.

Try out the Corksport exhaust. It's some sweet **** and it's super affordable.

i have gone through 5 exhaust systems...i'm not even kidding. my current setup will cost you about $600 or so. it helped to give me 154whp on a Mustang dyno, that is a stockport NA engine with quite a bit of miles. it is also the lightest setup i can think of while keeping noise down.

RB collected header -> Magnaflow 2.5 inch in-out offset stainless steel oval muffler -> 2.5 inch pipe made at exhaust shop -> offset-offset Borla Pro XS muffler 2.25 inch in-out


- the RB is the best header for the price; Corksport collected header is another option
- a properly design collected system can make good power
- a single exhaust keeps weight down; no need for dual exhaust unless you like the look
- Borla mufflers are the best for the cost
- on a stock-ish NA, you should go from about 2.5 inch max at the start of the system, then by the end the diameter should reduce (i went with 2.25 inch); the reasoning has to do with simple thermodynamics and conservation of energy
