ok so in a week i can finally weld/assemble the exhaust for the T2. ordered RB 3.15" DP and two flanges and two gaskets. this will actually work unlike the POS thunder fab dp/mp i cut up. i just want the car off jackstands and driveable. that would make me very happy!

Vos,



Why didnt' you get the whole racing beat tubo back? i want one... i saw in the evil forum you had a very attractive price. If i drive down can i get it for that price?

j9fd3s 10-10-2003 09:53 AM

cool, thats basically what we did for the black car. we used the rb center muffler too

FrestyleFC3S 10-10-2003 05:12 PM

turborotor 10-10-2003 05:34 PM

FikseRxSeven 10-10-2003 05:46 PM

vosko, since you're in a welding mood....... wanna weld some flanges on my flange less borla midpipe?



i got it as a trade cuz someone wanted my 1 remaining 93 spec turns.... and didnt wanna dish out money, so i took his 3.5" midpipe with no flanges https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

it has two 45 deg bends which hinders flow and it hugs and rubs the trans tunnel! ITS CRAP!

i have a 3.5" custom exhaust with a dynomax muffler. i'm trying to decide if i'm gonna reuse the 3.5" hooker super flo muffler or not. its gonna flow alot and it will be loud but it will cost me $200 total so its all good https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

No, but I've helped install one RB turboback system and ridden in two turbo II's with the RB turboback. The butt-o-meter didn't distinguish a difference between that and my thunderfab into single n1 turbo back. Maybe the dyno would be a different story.



The RB DP is a sweet piece, but then you either have to use the presilencer or get a custom MP done to bolt up to the stock catback. In hindsight getting the 3'' RB DP and going custom from there back might have been better.

NOthing beats racing beat.



Even the racing beat strut tower bar (made from Al) is money! both in blingnes, design and coolness.



I couldn't believe how light that thing was.

vosko 10-11-2003 09:28 PM

every racing beat product i have used has been very good
