I have a friend who has the Bonez racepipe on his 90, and he loves it! I just read all of the fine print about the header/presilencer setup. Racing Beat reccomends for a fuel injected car, running the stock exhaust manifold, and using their cat-replacement pipe(i.e. a racepipe!) They reccomend the header combo for carboreated engines only? This is why I ask:Which do I use? I have no intent of getting rid of my EFI!!!!!

Just buy it and be happy you never touched the Bonez crap.

"For optimum performance gains for this application, we recommend that a header be used on an engine configured with a carburetor intake system. For this reason, we suggest another suitable configuration for use on a fuel-injected engine is the Racing Beat Catalytic Converter Replacement Pipe with Presilencer combo. These components offer comparable performance gains, quieter performance and a price advantage as compared with the header/presilencer combination. These components replace only the stock exhaust components located between the stock exhaust manifold and the Y-pipe."

Hmmm. I still have not heard any bad things about the Bonez products, and I really trust Rotary Performance. I have nothing but good things from folks who have had major work done there or products bought there. However, Racing Beat is the **** as far as rotary technology is concerned! Here is what I am thinking, RB header, cutom fab connector pipe to attach to cat-back. Sound good/cost effective?

In regards to your RB header/ghetto pipe, I think it sounds cheap since the pre silencer will be more quite, give a better tone and fit better, didn't you say that price is not a concern... just bite the bullet and buy the damn RB setup. you won't be disappointed with it.

Sound really does not matter either. I am a purist! All that matters is performance! I will, of course, get custom made stainless steel for my "ghetto" presilencer. I really think that $200 for a damn piece of pipe is a little steep! Hell, it is basically the same price as the header!!!!

"Go buy a Lexus." This is my usual response. Sound does not matter. Looks do not matter. All that matters is performance. What I have intended to be a simple question, has once again, become a flame war. I will get the header. I will get a custom racepipe. I will be happy with it. No one will rain on my parade.

Cool. I will order the header tomorrow, paycheck allowed. Looks like I have to put off the fire extinguisher, sealtbelt pads, new shifter boot, and new pedals so I can buy the header and the custom midpipe! I should have my cat-back as well by the end of March!

No add to cart area! Apparently Rotary Performnce sells RB stuff, but they do not list any on their web-site, so I guess I will give em a call! Too bad I have to pay tax since I live in Tx!
