damn I was planning on going for the borla and now Ive made my decision, sounds way nice.

I didn't know 2 1/2" polished tips could look so different?


i didnt mean the tips look different, though im not crazy bout those borla tips but i was referring more to the piping. I dont know those welds scare me a little and it just looks like a flaky setup to me. What makes the rb setup so great? Its a quality setup, i like to think of it as the Rolex of exhaust systems and many would agree. I don’t wanna sound like a sales person for rb or anything but when I lookd into the rb setup, it showd very nice power gains, its quite, built very nice, and looks good at that. Im not saying the borla system isn’t good and to tell you the truth I have never seen one before so I shouldn’t say **** about it, just I never liked borla and always thought of them as more for domestics. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

agreed. based on the photos, the racingbeat quality looks much better, more professional and clean. it's just a shame it gets stuck on the bottom of the car, away from the naked eye's enjoyment!



the racing beat catback looks sooo much nicer, polished with clean welds, good hangers, and nice tips that fit the car.



RACING BEAT ALL THE WAY! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

I would like the greedy exhaust now that system is ******* awesome. I saw it in person and i have never heard a nicer sounding FC. It was an a N/A W/ Racing Beat Header and presilencer and it was like a a 6 out of 10 WOT but a deep mellow sound no metallic sound at all.



But at $898.99 + Shipping they can keep that **** LOL

well with a million mile warranty I'll take my chances

Rob x-7 04-26-2004 10:44 AM

the RB set up is $200 more, until now it was made of steel, now

the pipes are still steel but the mufflers are stainless.



$200 is a big difference in price, I heard the Borla and it has a

slightly quieter sound then the RB, the sound is a matter of choice-

do you want to spend the extra $200 is the question.



The Borla does have the 1,000,000 mile warranty, the RB has none.



I am almost tempted to get the Borla mufflers in that sytem, the

Borla mufflers I have now are wayyyyyyyyy too loud.

I have this set-up on my vehicle. Have had no problems for the nearly 2 years i have had them mounted up. They sound great, look awesome and just perform very well for the price.



Granted i paid nearly $450 2 years ago for the cat-back system, directly from the borla site. You'll like them bolted up, they are have a very deep tone and do not too loud.



In a way they remind me of the RB units... Very high quality

SoniX 01-31-2005 01:08 AM

no no, let him replace his racing beat if he wants, it is his car.... err, I will take those racing beat mufflers off your hands if you don't want them https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
