The Racing Beat road race mufflers and the "regular" cat-back mufflers??



I was browsing through the Racing Beat web page and I noticed that the road race ones are $5 more? They look the same to me https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png



Regular ...

Road Race ...

The one I'm looking for is this one ...

I just noticed that the "regular" has a 3-inch polished 304 stainless steel tip ... and the "Road Race" has a 3.5-inch polished 304 stainless steel tip.



Are there any other differences?

Its prolly just the way they sound...3.5 would flow more, but for N/A you still need back pressure...



Though I've never really thought about this...

That's what I was thinking, I just hope the one in the picture I attached is the "regular" one cause that's what I'm probably going to get.

ok if you goto their site you will find out that the road race mufflers have a longer pipe going to the y-pipe(road race of course)



you can use old mufflers with the help of their extension tubes

the road race aims up like the pic you posted. i'm fairly sure the road race is the one used in the picture. look at its angle.

The road race is very new, and i dont know fo anyone with one yet.



the pic is most likely the regular one, ro a turbo one.

i didnt know it was that new. i'm wanna say i'm fairly sure the red car is turbo. that pic is super familiar (rx7club). either way, i dont see how it could be the "regular" one judging the angle of the exhaust tip.

good luck with the search, though

Is this the exhaust you're looking for? This is 3inch, then splits into dual 3inch, and then the mufflers cut it down. It's really nice and quiet actually.. Very sleeperish

btw, they're not the same, even by those pics. The top ones, I've seen on NA and T2 FC's, the bottom one, I have on my car as you can see, and the piping that goes into the mufflers is probably bigger than the other ones too.

I really like the way the one I posted "curves" up and ends flush with the bumper, that's a sleeper look I'm going for https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/bigthumb.gif



This is 89 Rag's Cat-Back ... Looks about the same and I'm pretty sure he has the "regular" one.

why are u guys discussing this? just go check out their site

road race is a nonturbo exaust, but seriously to answer any questions just check out their site

call them up.. I have a feeling the RR mufflers are designed different maybe bigger ID?? I don't think they'd sell the same muffler with two different names and prices.

To reiterate what Dakmis said, the RR mufflers are built to use a different y-pipe. The different y-pipe requires a longer length of pipe between the body of the muffler and the y-pipe.

The cost of the additional pipe is reflected in the price.
