What Exhaust?

TS87FC3S · 02-06-2010, 08:37 PM

OK so the exhaust on my new 87 gxl na is rusted off and i wanna do the exhaust right the first time, i want a header back system preferably w/out cats.. what is the best system, price really is not an issue, i want good power, great sound and looks... btw this is the 6 port... also i will be deleting all the emissions and porting/ bigger injectors etc in the future... thanks for the help.

You absolutely cannot go wrong with a full Racing Beat set up.

Sounds awesome, looks good, and will last forever. You might also get a little power out of it.

Agreed, Full Racing Beat is the ONLY way to go..... unless you're like me and build everything yoursel, then it's thick wall for the header and Magnaflows for the cans.

I like the look and sound of the obx-r but never had it. Anyone had experiences with it?

RACING BEAT. Any other straight pipe exhaust will be retardedly loud.

djmtsu · 02-07-2010, 01:27 PM

^^Agreed^^

FerociouP had an RB header with a Corksport catback. It was so loud it made my ears bleed when following on my motorcycle.

And when I say loud, I mean LOUD!! And not a good kind of loud either.

Racing beat header, high flow cat, or test pipe, and borla catback. Header is awesome, i have the cat cause they visually inspect it where i live and the borla sounds great, is stainless steel and has a million, yes million mile warranty, like my car will make it to that lol. This combo to me sounds great i get complements on it all the time.

Phoenix7 · 02-07-2010, 09:12 PM

I had the RB header + midpipe and Apex-i dual grapfruit launchers....30 min into a cross country trip and I stopped for ear plugs.

TS87FC3S · 02-07-2010, 09:16 PM

K thanks guys i was planning on the full RB setup i was just seeing what others said

***TitaniumTT*** · 02-07-2010, 09:34 PM

Magnaflow > Borla.

I have a Borla on my truck and while it does have a million mile warranty, and so far they say they'll stand behind it, it still rotted out.

Not to mention the fitment of the borla on my FC was horrible. I had to rebend most of the hangers to keep the thing from rattling.

I'm all about the magnaflow for now.

Did you just get an exhaust made with magnaflow mufflers?

Dunno, I tried everything before I heated up the hangers to rebend them. Bought new hangers, changed the hangers around, nothing would help. The backpipes were too close to the rear subframe and they would hit. Motor/tranny mounts were fine too.

Rx-7fetish · 02-08-2010, 03:53 PM

Huh...... sounds like you just got a bum system. Should have contacted them to send you a replacement. Mine was missing the clamp that holds the one side of the y pipe to the other. I called them and they apologized and sent a replacement over night shipping. Now as far as legallity I got an unauthorized exhaust ticket. At the time of purhase it was advertised as 50 state legal. When I went back online to get the page printed to take to court I couldn't find that statement anywhere so I called them about it to get some paper work for court. They gave me some crap about the construction is 50 state legal but the decibel level isn't. Needless to say I was displeased. It got dropped because I stated in court that they don't produce the stock exhaust anymore and when I purchased this exhaust it said 50 state legal and was also the same exhaust pattern and shape of the original and I was trying to keep it all legal.
