Racing Beat Exhaust

Can someone tell me if I should install a racing beat exhaust system on my 1980 rx? I am currently rebuilding the car and it is in need of a new exhaust system. How much will this cost?

Hell no. If we are talking on N/A Apexi (single is louder than the dual). Racing beat gives you a nice tuned tone. Not raspy at all and I think it sounds great. Just not loud enough for me since I like exhausts that make ears bleed. However I would definitely choose racing beat over apexi for a stock body rx7 just because it looks a lot better. with dual apexi they just look way over sized.

Yes

And if you would try the search engine function, you'd find they show up for sale on this forum fairly often.

Also, suggest you read the FAQ at the top of the 1st Gen forum before you ask any more questions. Wealth of immediate knowledge answering just about any question you might have available in this web site if you invest a little time learning how to use it first.

Racing beat is the best sounding exhaust on a pre 93 rx7 IMO

They sound great on FDs in my opinion.. well depending on the ports size actually and other things done to the car.
