RACE EXHAUST SYSTEM V2 EXTENDED TIP, 04-08 RX8 (RACING BEAT)
Racing Beat Race Exhaust Systim V2 Extended Tip, 04-08 RX8
The Racing Beat RX-8 Race Exhaust System V2 extended tip is a lightweight exhaust system that is intended for race applications. Originally designed to meet the demands of RX-8 autocross/circuit racers, this system is significantly lighter than the stock system and has been designed to meet a race track-imposed sound limit. As compared with the original RX-8 Race exhaust system, the V2 version features an extended tip section which extends rearward through a single bumper opening.
System Weight
The Racing Beat Race Exhaust System has been designed to offer a significant weight reduction over the stock RX-8 system, compare the following:Stock system + connecting-pipe = 39 lbs
Racing Beat Race Muffler (21 lbs) + Connecting-pipe (8 lbs) = 29 lbs
This is a 25% reduction in weight over the stock system!All components are handcrafted using 304-stainless steel materials for excellent durability and strength. As a weight saving measure, Racing Beat decided to eliminate the decorative tip outlet, and instead provided a downward-angled outlet pipe. This pipe reflects exhaust noise downward in an attempt to further dissipate the sound.
Power Output
Performance gains are comparable with Racing Beat’s REV 8 Street Exhaust:Stock production engine – with muffler removed +5 HP
Stock production engine – with RB street or race exhaust + 3.5 HP approx.Sound Quality
While louder than the stock system, particularly under full throttle, this exhaust system can be used for those looking for a very aggressive exhaust tone for their daily-driven RX-8. A modest driving technique will produce a moderate and tolerable exhaust tone, but jump on the throttle and this exhaust really comes to life. Full throttle does not produce a buzzy or harsh, but a more exotic sound like that of a tuned V-6 engine. During a long-distance trip to the race track during prototype testing for this system, an independent test driver commented that highway cruising was very tolerable, without any droning sounds or harmonics.This exhaust system is equipped with a stainless steel connecting pipe and all required mounting hardware.

Rotary Exhaust Header – Stainless 86-92 RX-7 Non-Turbo
Rotary Exhaust Header – Stainless 86-92 RX-7 Non-Turbo
Stainless steel version of the 16130 Racing Beat RX-7 Header is designed for a bolt-on installation when used with the appropriate Racing Beat Power Pulse Presilencer in all 1986-92 non-turbo RX-7s. This RX-7 header weighs approximately 12 lbs as compared to our 19 lb steel version. The combination of this Racing Beat RX-7 Header and the appropriate presilencer replaces the stock exhaust manifold and all catalytic converters, along with any intermediate pieces of tubing. (In this configuration, the Racing Beat presilencer will bolt-up to the factory Y-pipe.).
The Racing Beat RX-7 Header assembly is constructed using mandrel-bent, 304-stainless steel tubing (2″ OD primary, 2.5″ OD secondary). The engine-to-header and the header outlet flanges are produced from cast 304-stainless steel. These flanges are unique to Racing Beat’s headers and have been designed to offer superior mounting and sealing qualities. This header is equipped with an oxygen sensor fitting. An outlet gasket is included.
