Presilencer Whats it do? Searches turn up lotsa info

So I know this has been asked so I am sure someone will be annoyed at me asking again... but what do I gain from the presilencer? Is it to make the exhaust quieter or something like that? I only ask since have the RB true dual header and need to know if I should get the presilencer or say screw it and build the rest of my exhaust without it in place. Thank you

pre silencer helps to quiet the exhaust.... also to help w/ backpressure and to keep the 6 port actuators functional...... this is the racing beat cat/presilencer........ most aftermarket presilencers dont help to keep the actuators functional

I have a 91 NA so I have the air pump to help with 6pi and need not worry about any backpressure for actuators...

Thanx for the help guys I guess I will just go custom from header and see how it sounds... if I don't like it I can always work on it more

But so much to do before that even matters honestly, too bad its supposed to be 15 for a high tomorrow... makes car work damn near unbearable... GO UNDER ARMOR GO!!!

once again thanx for the help peeps

I have a header with a pre silencer on my s5 na. IT has no 5th 6th ports because I have a ported motor. It is pretty damn loud you also have to keep in mind it is 2.5" single exit exhaust. I also have no cats as there are no emissions in my city...

I am rolling with the road race system so I can imagine that it will not matter about the collected being louder.

It's just a muffler. makes the sound of the car deeper, at least my RB.
Looks good under there for the police.

have you actually looked intside the rb pre-silencer. it really doesn't do much for creating backpressure. it is nothing more then a straight pipe with some holes in it according to the exhuast gasses.

the presilencer will help with making things a tad bit quieter. the main thing I noticed it did though was tone the high pitched stuff down and make it a little deeper in pitch.
sounds better that way imho
