HERES THE DEAL, i my parents will buy me something with a limit up to $400. I REALLY want a RB exhaust system, but i have an 82' and they are $650. What could i get that would be cool, horsepower wise.

wwilliam54

get rb header and a high flow cat

schwarzer ritter

how about a set of eibach srings or you could get the header and cat replacement pipe from racing beat for now and buy the muffler later should get you about 15hp and 15 lbs of torque for only about $300

Get an MSD but make sure you hook it up correctly. [heh]

It'll make starting on the morning after Christmas a lot easier.

timmya2

Blitz0309

You could send me the $400 and I will send you a Picture of whatever you want.

Hell, I don't know if I had it hooked up right or not. I've gone through two 6ALs that ended up smoking after a week. Next time I'm going to be more careful where I put the ignition on/off wire. I know that I had intended to put it on trailing positive, but the second one ended up on trailing negative. As for the first, I'm not sure where it was as it was disassembled on the side of the road to get the car going.

Do you like driving fast?


Valentine One is a great radar detector, and pays off in the long run

Also, not FB related, but iPods are awesome. I love mine and I dont know whatd id do without it.. theyve come down in price.. A 10GB was $400 less than a year ago and now its $300..

If you want the most bang for your buck then get a header and high flow-cat like wwilliam54 suggested or get spings and shocks like schwarzer ritter suggested. An MSD will be okay but not for the price. Oh and the V1 is a good suggestion too. How about tires? For $400 you could get Sumitomo's and have enough left over to maybe buy springs OR shocks?

Rx7carl

Absolutely. If your still stock, exhaust is the first place to start. RB header and hi flow cat, or RB header and presilencer if you dont need emissions. And if you got any $ left over, my airbox kit is only $45.

Do your suspension. Wont make your car go any faster, but it will be a night and day difference in the twisties.

As far as the Radar detector, I have the Pasport 8500, cost me $299 and has paid itself off fully about 3 times.
Has all the features of the Valentine, but no arrows.

hey rx7 carl, whats this airbox kit? Youve sparked an interest. What it looks like to me so far is the RB Cat replacemenmt pipe ($90) and the RB streetable header ($189). Ill be running those with the stock setup, and thats just replacement bolt on crap right? I hate welding.

ZachstylezRX7

Yo... hate to be the one to burst the bubbles... but an RB cat replacement pipe does the exact same thing as the RB header. They replace teh first two cats. The only difference in the two is that an RB header will give you more horsepower and torque due to the better airflow conducted by the two pipes and lengths. So either get one or the other because if you get both you will be pretty disappointed cuz they both go to on teh same place. Now if ur talking about a PRE-SILENCER... THEN i am disregard this post. A pre-silencer replaces the last (biggest) cat and if you want your header or cat replacement pipe to line up with ur exhaust... you are gonna need the pre-silencer.
Just given you teh 411 so you don't go spend 390 dollars on a cat replacement pipe and header and come to find that you have 2 things for teh same purpose.

Rx7carl

Yup should all be a bolt on. 90$ for a cat test pipe? I bought one at www.testpipe.com for $30. I sold it to another member already though, sorry.

The airbox kit enhances the intake flow, but still uses the stock air box. Its a DIY thing, it takes a little work but makes cheap power you can feel. read this

get the the dual racing beat header & 2 presilencers to start

RXRACER85

i would go for the headers and presilencer! it's the best choice for the buck!

Lisa

I have a brand new, never used RB Presilencer for a 12A if you're looking. $130 shipped. That'll leave you enough money for your header & a couple other small stuffs.
