RB Header

ok I bought the Racing Beat streetport header, and no one told me it wont bolt to my stock exhaust.

Is there any way I can make this header bolt to the stock exhaust?? I am eventually going to go for the straight pipe all the way back, but Dont have the cash yet. should I just wait till I have the money??

I'd recommend the presilencer and muffler. The header bolts rght up to them (with the mid-pipe) and allows for plenty of power, without the long term damage to your hearing.

I just purchased the Mazdatrix complete dual pipe exhaust system. My 85 GS muffler was a crappy "Monroe" type muffler the previous owner put on. Damn thing sounds like it has a hole in it. Can't wait to bolt this complete exhaust system up. Anyone have this setup can give me the low down? Does it really help in the HP area?

Thanks,
Kevin

I already have the RB Muffler (I love it but it actually quited my car down from the stock muffler). I dont have the money for a pre-silencer or anything else right now.
I dunno Ill figure out something.

I was only able to purchase the headers for my 79 which replaced the thermal reactor and boosted my power a little bit and kinda has a pissed off weed eater sound lol, or so i have been told. I plan on adding the presilencer and maybe a carb when i get the money.
