RB Exhaust Question

My5ABaby · 11-01-2011, 11:33 AM

I have the full RB n/a exhaust (header --> 2.5" presilencer) and I'm turboing my car. Will the 3" turbo downpipe bolt to the 2.5" presilencer?

I'm guessing no. For the T2's at least, RB makes two types of DP & presilencer designs. One type is the 3" DP & presilencer combo which is only compatible with the full RB exhaust system (turbo to tailpipes) - can't bolt this one up to a stock or stock replacement catback system. The other type is a 2-1/2" DP & presilencer combo, which is designed to replace everything from the turbo out to the stock main cat, and can be used with any stock replacement catback system.

I should have clarified perhaps. I have the full RB N/A exhaust, I just put the header --> presilencer in case it made a difference from the N/A downpipe --> presilencer.

So as a recap, the 2.5 to 2.5 will work.

That is the set up I was running on my FC.

So as a second recap, the 3 to 2.5 will also work.

You should email racing beat and find out if it will work with there 3in or 2.5in downpipe. I am trying to sell my 2.5in down pipe pretty bad. $50 o.b.o plus shipping brand new it is 135.00.

There. I recap'd it for you.

My5ABaby · 11-02-2011, 02:30 PM

Score. I presume the 2.5 to 2.5 will flow better since I would think the lip of going from 3 to 2.5 would be a restriction.

Just get a 2.5" and be done with it.

What Paul said.

I plan on getting a 2.5, but if I find a 3 at the right price it's nice to know I can pick it up.
