I was wondering what peoples opinions were between HKS and racing beats header back exhaust systems for the N/A. HKS is like 500 dollars more and it looks better, but does it perform better?

I hate HKS exhaust....I would go w/ RB any day!

They are both high quality products but i would get the RB and get other stuff with the rest of the money.

the HKS systems' pricing is insane..you can buy a beat GXL for a parts car for as much as their exhaust systems. go with https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif racingbeat https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif ....they sound soooo sexy https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif

I went with Apexi but, I haven't gotten in installed yet.. It looks good.

I say rb same power nice sound in this case lower price, what more could you ask for?

racing beat all the way https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Wasn't aware that HKS made a header back system...as in, HEADER and back..or like, racepipe+catback? Someone have a link for me?

I think it is only a cat back.



I would go with RB. It is WAY better, plus RB only deals with rotaries, so they know what they are doing.

go with Racing Beat they are proven components https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

i think he's talking about the NA full dual exhaust that mazdatrix sells.



They come in two versions...

version 1 uses HKS mufflers

version 2 uses RB mufflers



personally i hve never found anything bad with HKS... they make better stuff then apex-i and trust but thats my opinion. THen again have never seen a BAD Racing Beat Product... except for their engine torque brace for FCs, and a blown SS RB oil cooler line

i had the hks sport catback on my t2 and it fit better and was less restrictive than the n1 single. the racing beat i has was the full turbo back so its kind of a tomato/tomato debate

My experience with HKS exhaust is that the fitment wasn't a nice as TRUST...and I am a loyal RB kinda guy...HKS has my vote for turbos and electronics though...just cant afford them,lol.
