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.

***TitaniumTT*** · 02-07-2010, 10:43 AM

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.

batmanfc · 02-07-2010, 12:14 PM

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

Phoenix7 · 02-07-2010, 01:05 PM

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.

Rx-7fetish · 02-07-2010, 07:26 PM

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?

***TitaniumTT*** · 02-07-2010, 10:15 PM

That's cute. No, I built the whole thing myself. Magnaflow 3" in and 2x 2.5" outs, and two cans in the rear. All stainless, all V-Bands, quite and the whole thing goes away in less than 5 minutes.

Nismo · 02-07-2010, 10:22 PM

Here Is my Silver FC with a 2.5" RB downpipe and presilencer, custom 2.5" piping, and a OBX can, the second car is a Red FC with a RB turbo back.

Yes my shocks were blown, and needless to say I am now Rocking a Full 3" RB!
