My turbo with shipping and a new shaft was about $850. I got it directly from BNR, its a little cheaper that way. Just cut out the middle man and deal with Bryan yourself. He does awsome work and goes beyond what most people/business would to be sure your happy after the sale. He has some good tuning advice.

only way to put down racing beat exhaust is that it's heavy, but it lasts forever and is quiet because of that. designed specifically for rotarys, not just a muffler thrown on the the right shape tubing with the right flange.

Yeah, I've noticed that after a while, most other exhausts can discolor or even melt if they use cheap-o thin wall exhaust piping. RB's exhausts are about as heavy as your stock system, but they'll probably last longer and flow a lot better. I love my true dual system, it glows 5 feet aft of the engine when I really get on it, and it sounds like an insane chainsaw.

RB exhaust IS HEAVY even now that they have gone to a full stainless construction. The switch to stainless is great!

It does have 3 cheated radius cuts/welds in the critical front section. That is something I have NEVER seen in a JDM exhaust.

I think RB is the best compromise for flow, style, sound, quality and price though not the best in any of the five catagories.

I think the Knightsports turbo back stainless dual that splits right after the turbo is probably THE best ever produced for the FC, but it is out of production and very pricey.

If I were to make a custom system I would copy that Knightsports!

Or you think it's overpriced, or don't like the look... Not everyone thinks it's the best exhaust around.



That being said, I am not a fan of the RB look. I like their header/downpipe and presilencers. Some of their stuff seems overpriced, though. Also, if you're going to go with RB you better replace all of your rubber exhaust hangers because most people don't, and then the RB mufflers hang down and look fugly, again most people (that I've seen post pictures on here) don't replace these, and this is one of the main reasons I'm not a fan of the look.

I have a racing beat on my n/a and I love it. Most of my friends say it was way too expensive. It was worth every penny. It sounds and looks great. One thing I like about it is when a cop sees it, it has a stock look to it.

RB is possible the best aftermarket system you can get with your money.

My catback cost a total of $250, it's called custom, muffler shops can be very cheap and have good quality.
