This one is a custom job. It is a off the shelf model that has been modded, custom fit and has been taken to an area where cool air will be the only air it sees, except in summer as the ambient air temp is terrible here but it will be cooler. The aluminum under tray is to reflect the engine heat elsewhere.

I know at one time BHR had some ideas on their own intake but who knows if they have time to develop it.

For Sale; OBX C.A.T. Back & RB Race Pipe! lol

Next AP Pulley. On the way Coils, AP sways and Cobb AP. The Pully is going to be cool. Just need to find something to stablize the volts well in idle. Any ideas anyone?

What coils did you end up getting Gil? With the Accessport Race tuner you can change your idle. I'm am thinking of messing around with my maps just minor stuff.

Should I go hunt him down? He's just down the street, I tried to call him a while ago (before the Christmas break) but didn't get a call back.

That's okay I want to hear it in person.

What do you guys think? Should I buy this piece just the exhaust not the midepipe...

Has some burned plastic on tailpipe from getting rear-ended...


He wants $300.00 for it, I think it will polish up nicely. What are your thoughts? It is RacingBeat in case you couldn't tell. lol.

^^^I have heard this story as well, it is the stuff of which legends are made.

BTW is that exhaust beyond repair and not worth the money?

Changing the idle is one thing but I still need something to stablize the volts well in idle. I will PM Jeff and see if it can do it. I should have mine Cobb AP by next month. I just want these other goods installed and out of the way before the Cobb AP tune then dyno.

Uhh AJ that exhaust looks like it was getting to hot cuz the tips are fat and melted the plastic. You have to look out for that when getting aftermarket exhaust and driving around in high rpms.
Get a 3" exhaust if your going for power if not buy mine I see for cheep to you my friend lol

Rematch? I let him go na I want to hit up buttonwillow raceway after I get everything installed. I also new tires and some kick *** shocks.

Mike can you install my AP pully and AP sway bars when they come in? and where can I get a OBX header gasket? I want to install that when I swap out the exhaust. Can you friend at the shop do the header and exhaust? I can do the coils wires and plugs
Let me know. I pay! I pay!!!

You can get your idle adjusted when you have the Cobb AP. Be sure that you tell Jeff what you want. Why id the voltage not stable? I must have missed something you said.

AJ, Why not the mid pipe??? A Racing Beat exhaust is already 3". Just make sure it has not been modified. They guy that is selling this was sure burning lean. The mid pipe will give you extra zip.
