Racing Beat Dual Tip...installed last week. Entired installation took less 1 hr, fit perfectly. Very nice sound just a tad louder than stock. Definitely felt the perf gained.

 

It took all of 20 minutes for me to install my RB single... 35 minutes if you count the time to pull out the jack, jack stands, tools and put everything away afterwards.


edit: BTW, here's my RB single tip.

 

30 minutes to pull the old system off...30 minutes to put new on. Sipping Cognac in between.

 

Pictures of my shiny exhaust..(Compares well to some of the other twin tips exhausts.....)
Australian made, SMB exhaust...this was the first of the 3.5" systems...
look at www.smb.net.au

Sounds incredible..quiet at idle, kinda deep though. screams at WOT in higher revs..flows increidbly well..and NO drone at highway speeds..




Comparison of the stock dump against 3.5" dump, and the stock cat against 4" metal substrate with 3.5" piping


Pipe diameter of standard against 3.5" . Inside of 3.5" has a bit of welding dust..the lip is also very smooth welded inside and ground smooth.


Its damn tight down there..steering and god knows what else in the way. And those studs are damn hard to get out! (Thankfully mine didn't bind at least)


Imagine trying to make this! fits very close when installed. NB: any black marks etc are just dirt..not bad welding or anything..I was too lazy to remove the buffing compound they left on.


Wish I could weld...sigh...


Looks like a mangled mess doesnt it! Fits well...just enough clearance past steering


The other side


A close up of the 4" metallic substrate cat. The heat shield is rather cute (especially when compared to the horrendous thing on the original.

 

Heres some pics.


























Looks good to me...but I'm kinda biased..

 

i also have the hks hiper.

i just wanna say, if u on a budget or just cheap, this is about the cheapest and still very good. just the cb quiet as hell. even with a dp its quiet. when u hear it it sounds good.

i only bring up value because that ebay exhaust made me cry.

 

Gene, what camera are you using?

 

not sure rob, my photographer took it with his canon that cost almost 1 grand

 

^^ How loud is that exhaust?? and do you have a straight through midpipe??

 

This is similar to the HKS downpipe I have but it's mild steel . Only the RHD 7s would have clearance issues with an aftermarket DP.

 

Yeah...the RHD models require the squashed piece at the turbo exit..

The HKS unit is similar, however it is a 3" pipe with a 3" collector on top..

This is a 3.5" pipe with around a 4" collector on top...

 

bringing this from the dead.. anyone else out there...

 

Soo.. I wanna see apexi gt spec

 

RSR Single Tip

 

Where are the "installed" pics?!?! Those pipes look awesome!

 

Doesn't anybody here use an apexi gt spec or used one in the past?

 

I have a A`PEX-i PS Revolution, and it is a little too quiet at idle, and it doesn't really get too loud at wot either. these videos are with stock dp, and stock cat. ENJOY!

Here is another PFS pic...

 

^^I have PFS too, i love it!

And trispeed, that sounds great.

 

pics of my car with hks hi-power:




the HKS with stock cats etc was very very mellow, extremely nice tone smooth throughout the rpm band, but when you put a non-res'd dp and mp it gets pretty loud. (still with stock turbos).

pic of my car with Apexi ExTi:



pic of the ExTi off the car (not a lot of bends):




sound clip of Apexi ExTi:

older pix of GT-Spec w/ silencer on:

 

Yeap

 

That diffuser looks really nice!

 

I dunno why, but my car sounds nothing like some of the whiney clips on here. My car has a low rumble which wtf pwns the weedwhacker sounds i've heard.
