RP cat back exhaust system, anyone have one in use?

Does anyone have the RP catback exhaust system in use? If so what is your opinion about the sound, performance, look?RP 50mm catback system

I know all about the RB system, I want to know what you think about the RP system.
Thanx.

my friend has the RP catback....i couldnt tell you about the power gains, but i like the sound a lot, its also a very low-profile exhaust, cant really tell its aftermarket. its a very deep sounding exhaust, not to loud unless you really get on it. sounds nice.

You get what you pay for.
Just save up and get RB. I just got mine and I love it. Very well built and deep tone.

thanx for the info. I just wanted to make sure I didn't buy something I would end up replacing. AND, I prefer to not follow the pack (RB), although you do get what you pay for and I bought the RB header and Bonez cat.

Well, it's in my garage now so I guess it's mine. Not bad for $350. The whole exhaust setup (header, cat, catback) ran me $904 (delivered).

Okay, now that you've got it, post your opinion, and tell us what exhaust you had on the car previously.

If you go to the 1st gen forums there's a thread where people report on sellers. Every other post says RB is da shizzle. No joke, more than half the good reviews are RB. RP rates mostly good, with some complaints.

You could always search to see whether or not people had their RP catback break/leak or not, and if it's noisy or not.

You guys think a 2.5" cat will be fine with the 2" RP catback?
