Do you guys get any droning when cruising at freeway speeds? I have the full collected header back on my GXL and it drones a bit.

Otherwise it's an excellent system and I've been real happy with it. If you're having problems getting the cans to hang equally, replace all the rubber donuts and then loosen the bolts going through the y-pipe and cans and kinda of rotate everything and tighten it back up. It might take a little screwing with but it pays off.

Some pics before the install:

The car. It would look a lot cleaner; I washed it yesterday, and just my luck, it rains last night. Oh well.



My hand-painted badge. Never really liked the black ones, since you can't really see them on a black car. Sprayed silver, then filled in the black spots with a miniature brush, then about 5 layers of clear coat.



And this is the bastard that got my car failed on the inspection. Holy rusted metal Batman!



Leaving in the next 5 minutes. Should be back soon with a new exhaust and some clips!

Alright, got that done. She's all installed now. It sounds MUCH better now. Quite deep compared to the stock system.

Here's the busted up stock one again:


A comparison shot:


Almost done:


And she's done! Still need to get new hangers so it will sit level, but that will be fixed soon.


Gotta take the old exhaust back home. So for the moment, I have me a quad exhaust system!


Video clips will be up shortly.

Looks good man, can't wait for the videos. I haven't heard the RB exhaust in quite sometime now. It's a nice day I think I'm gonna go put my manifolds back on and see if it'll start for me today.

Alright videos!

My TPS needs adjusting, so idle is just about 1000rpm.

Here's the stock at idle:

The stock reved up a bit:

bigass improvement over the stock! thats almost how mines sound, just that mines lil deeper and louder cause of the hollowed cats.

Can't wait to hear soundclips when you get the headers.

Damn...I really love the sound of a rotary. That sounds fantastic man, congrats. Everytime I hear a rotary though I must say I'm amazed at how much air it sounds like they're pushing out! Simply beautiful
