Rotarydave is on a distinguished road
Originally i had a RB 1st Gen type Header on there with a single large presilencer running to a RB muffler, but that is all 2in stuff. I felt I was getting to much restriction, therefore I switched to a road race header that I had, had a 2:1 fabbed up with a 2.5in join then used a RB 2nd Gen type presilencer and custom built the exhaust back to a racing application muffler. I can't say as I noticed a difference but we were changing a whole bunch of stuff at one time. Yes toasted clutch is a smell I was familiar with as well, if you are going to play with it at the strip don't think that RBs street and strip clutch will hold up cause it won't you'll burn it down just as fast, I ran a Center Force DF disk and PP for awhile it did ok but I was still not happy and just jumped straight to a puck clutch which typically overpowers the rear wheels, I did have one prick of a cop pull me over for peeling out I got out of it by asking him if he could take off from a stop in my car without doing it, and he couldn't...

Hope this helps
