Try refreshing or closing the window and then opening it back up again. Damn yahoo photos did that to me several times when replying to this post.

Here is a link for all the pix of the exhaust I took.

The Turbo back is 80MM which is a little bite more than 3" untill it goes to the Y-pipe. I think it goes into 2.25" or 2.5" and I beleive the TII mufflers from RB are 3" Compared to the N/a RB mufflers which are 2.5"

*BLING*!!!

Some may complain that the price is high, but damn it sure is pretty! The Fit, tone, and quality of the RB full exhuast is perfect.

Congrats.

Thanks everyone.

The turboback is a little over 3" until the y pipe and I think its 2.5". The actual inner diameter of the muffler is about 2.5"



By the way it was packaged all in one enormous box and wrapped with alot of bubble wrap and corrugated paper for even more cushion. The whole package weighed 85lbs if anyone was interested.

EDIT: Are pictures loading for everyone else? They are dead links occasionally. Damn yahoo.

Yeah, the whole presilencer bolts up at an angle to minimize sharp bends and increase flow. Racing Beat is really some of the BEST stuff out there. Enjoy the new turbo back!

Install went great. No problem getting the exhaust hangers on like I did when installing the stock catback. The sound is incredible. Very quiet at idle but loud when you want it to be loud.

Pictures will be uploaded tonight.

Does anyone know which way the angled part of the presilencer goes? Towards the downpipe or towards the mufflers? I plan on getting the downpipe and presilencer pretty soon.

On a side note they used my car to test fit this system. I was sooo close to getting this system but Jim Mederer and Mr. Oku (is that his name......can't remember) wouldn't have it. Still got a complimentary 2.5" catback and some cash though. The 2.5" catback will be up for sale within a few months though cuz I'm going with a straight 3" system.
