I like the sound of the 2 red cars.They make me miss my Na. the rev t2 sounds stock to me. It's nice though. I think I heard someone say "130"? Mashin! Unless that was the time. Lol

The turbo exhaust fits fine, it just takes some adjustment. Perfectly centered and even height in the bumper openings on my car.

Fantastic exhaust, great sound and looks. Very nicely built. But, yes it is heavy.

I wouldn't drive an RX-7 with the corksport exhaust without a helmet on....it's bloody loud.

He has this one too. Not much justice for it though.

^^^Keep in mind that motor is Bridge Ported so it's going to be much louder than stock ports. I have a cheap eBay single exhaust for now. I haven't had the car running yet with it on. I know it's going to be loud but it's not a daily driver and it's only temporary until I can get something else. My dream exhaust is the Greddy Power Extreme

I question the sanity of anyone who would choose a Corksport single exhaust over an RB REV system. On the track where noise is a concern and weight isn't, sure, go with the Corksport. But if that car is to ever see the street, hands down, the RB system so far superior it isn't even worth discussing.

Agreed. People can hear you coming form 5 blocks away with that exhaust...

The RB exhaust looks so much more classy too..

I personally don't understand why people like the RB so much. Maybe its because the its one of the only dual exhausts still sold. Sure there is the Apexi, but just the cat back costs nearly as much as a whole turbo back.

To me, the RB is just boring. The mufflers don't look like much more than shiny versions of the factory ones. Which is perfect if you want something clean and sleeper-ish, but I prefer something more aggressive that looks aftermarket. It has a decent tone, but to me its still reserved and I like my car to be louder than what it is. Its a solid exhaust that is average at best in my eyes.

I had the older Motoria dual 3" turbo back on my old Turbo, and I loved it. It was cheap, looked great, and sounded awesome. To bad they changed the muffler design.

Its a shame Greddy no longer makes the Power Extreme, and that more people don't make a dual exhaust setup in general. It would be cool if Corksport would make a dual version of their exhaust, I'm sure people would love it.

People like RB because its quiet and still performs like other canister mufflers
the cops wont be on you *** also if you have one which is a HUGE benefit where I live......damn cops. I got pulled over 10 times all because of my imotoria exhaust. I never went above 3krpm in the street. Installed the RB rev TII, havent been pulled over once. Ive had the imotoria for a year and the RB for a year.

see thats what i love about my area, theres soo many damn honda's with fart cans that the cops dont even car any more. Sadly the cops are racist so they only pull over minorities with loud music or cars. But i like the fact my car turns heads when i drive by because its soo loud and mean sounding =).

^ I run a Corksport and my car is loud. But like you, every Honda has a canister muffler on the back around here so the police don't bother me at all. I've yet to be pulled over in my car even after 6 years of daily driving it, 3 of which its been loud.

Im not sure about how cops are about noise here in SF. My car is pretty loud with the current set up. Maybe its not as loud as said exhausts but i feel like i do turn heads when I roll up. reallllllllly wish it was stock so I could have a clean start instead of the welded turbo back. Hate that thing!

While we are on the topic of exhaust. Lets go on a small tangent. Do you guys think I will pass smog with a 3" main Cat and 3" piping? Ofcourse the precat is gone. I live in SF.

Do you really want to put yourself in the same class as Honda with a canister muffler or those who edit anime tv show credit music into their exhaust clips? Honda like exhaust will turn heads, but its usually people with good sounding exhaust wondering what sounds like **** going by.

RB Rev II is available for $825 and CS for $630, that's not a big price difference so I guess its just a matter of personal preference.

Im not sure what to do then. My stupid exhaust is some kind of custom welded with a down pipe going to double main cats at 2.5 diameter.
