Racing Beat N/A

Ok, so I am dead set on getting a Racing Beat exhaust. Anyway, I know they make a "Turbo" full exhaust system with midpipe and presilencer, but my question is, do they make a "full system" for an N/A too? or will the "Turbo" system bolt up to an N/A with no problems? will there be any gain differences if I were to use a "turbo" exhaust on a n/a car? would I actually LOSE HP? Please advise.

You can get the midpipe/pre-silencer and the Racing Beat catback.
If you are not worried about noise, get the headers too.

They are in backorder though so you'll have to wait like 2 months to get them.

but are the midpipe and presilencer that you can order the same as the ones on the turbo system? if so, why don't I just get the whole system together?

I'm pretty sure they're smaller. I think Turbo is 3" while n/a is like 2.5".
Just get the one that was made for your car.
Or if you have the money you could get the Mazdatrix true duals.

nevermind, I found it. I assume the "true dual" is the one in the not-street legal section. heh, as much as I would love to have the HP and torque gain, it's my daily driver and I need it to be street legal (not that we have emissions tests in FL, but I don't really want to set off TOO many alarms with it...)

Ugh, start from the headers and work back. Headers will give lots more than just a cat-back or SP.

Headers, then straight pipe, then catback if you have the money.





...but why even bother on a "slow N/A?" You're only gonna be in the 15's.

I'd just go with the Downpipe, presilencer, and catback. The header makes the thing so frikin' loud.

My duals w/header setup has been on for a year now. I'm on a tight budget, so I got the Mazdatrix header kit & had a local shop weld it up. They used two "turbo-pac" presilencers and two bomb mufflers at the end. We reused the original mufflers connecting flanges and the stock tips. The whole deal was $300. The only problem has been the cheap pre-silencers. They start to rattle after about 6 months.

Actually, if you listen to the video of them driving down the street with the RB mufflers it doesn't really sound that loud. It actually makes a pretty good exhaust note, not like some of the rice boy soup can mufflers i've heard buzzing around town.

The full TII RB DP will not bolt up to the N/A exhaust manifold. You will need a custom DP to mate to the presilencer. The TII RB DP is made to mate to the turbo.

Thanks guys. I think what I'm going to do is get the Mazdatrix full system single w/ RB mufflers. If I planned on having the money any time soon, I would go for the true duals in a heartbeat, but there's other stuff this car needs too, not to mention I've gotta pay for insurance.

I got the TII presilencer cuz it is cheaper than the n/a one for my header setup. Works just fine...

maybe, but how much? also, I don't want it too loud. from what I hear the N1's are loud as hell. could you possibly make a sound file or something, sort of like what mazdatrix did?
