My 73 rx3 work in progress
It's ALIVE!!!
Wow...congrats x 2! Wouldn't it be a hoot...like when the baby is up at night and the only way he or she will go to sleep is if you had to drive him or her around in the 3 all over the neighborhood...?
O wait...you got a Holley on there...never mind...you won't know if the baby is sleeping or passed out from the fumes of running rich...lol. Seriously though...good job on both counts!
thats it? How this appointing, you only rev it around 3,000 RPM

Quick update...
I completed the disc brake conversion using the older model brackets from REspeed..
I have all the thick walled piping (11 gauge) and all the mandrals to complete my exhaust. I will be going to have it all put on this Saturday!!! I still havent completely figured out exactly how the exhaust will be done but its looks like for now something very similar to RB street port long primary up and over the rear and collecting into one 3inch muffler??? kinda scared of it being too loud but Im hoping that the thick walled tubes along with the 2 RB pre silencers it will be tolerable??? any ideas are welcomed

What configuration did you settle on for your exhaust system?
Long primary, two RB presilencers and a 3" main muffler?
See if you can get the tube lengths to the presilencers to be equal. They have an anti-reversion chamber on the inlet side that becomes the exhaust tuning point.
What are you going to use for a collector?
Here's the RB specs for your reference:

yes!! I have the RB road race header, street port center section modifyed to fit the rx3. We hacked off the back flange and welded the 11 gauge pipe up and over the rear end then collected into a single 3 inch Hushpower muffler with a 4 inch dumpy tip... I am VERY happy with it. I tried several other Mufflers out back including the RB rotor shaped one. The Hushpower sounds and looks the best. Really nice deep tone. Its a little louder that the full RB system but it flows way better... I will post pics shortly
