Are there any guys here running this exhaust? If so, what do you think of it? (Fitment, sound wise versus other 3" exhausts and of course compared to the Racing Beat.) I currently have a PFS 3" catback and it's too loud (both sound wise and aesthetically) for my taste.

WOW! I really like what i see there. I am equally as interested. I would love to hear what that one sounds like. The muffler looks large just like the re-amemiya one too. With the right midpipe that is probably a fairly quiet exhaust, provided its a high quality muffler. And the price is fantastic too. Thank goodness. Now i might not have to buy a racing beat dual tip with that nasty bolted on mount on the passengers side. Thank goodness.

 

nice n cheap

 

Great looking system! Looks hundred times better than those hemrroid large canned exhaust systems!

 

With the mid-pipe I'd be worried about boost creep on the stock twins.

 

That would be pretty killer if they sell just the cat back portion.

 

Rotary Works, in my opinion, doesn't have the greatest reputation. You may wish to do some reading in the Bad Guys Section for Businesses.

 

Interesting read for sure

400 for DP, MP and exhaust is silly cheap so my guess is the exhaust will last about a year on a rotary lol.

 

Thanks for the word of caution. Shame about their reputation...I was really interested..I wonder if any other vendors on here can come up with a similar exhaust?

 

wow that exhaust looks super nice. I would be interested in someone reviewing this.

 

It would also be nice if there was a video out there somewhere to demonstrate the sound. I couldn't find one.

 

There is one...... look up 'RE-Amemiya.'

 

Ok i just got mine

It looks ok
To be fair really good for the money that i paid for it
I was looking for something with a racing look so it really fit me
Hope to have the car running in 2 weeks and i will upload a video how it sounds

 

I bought one about 1.5 years ago for my bone stock FD.

i installed ONLY the catback portion first as i was afraid of boost creep and wanted something louder without a giant can. i really wanted a giant 4" badd *** turn down. but settled for this 3" one.

So the catback portion will not bolt up and go to the stock midpipe, i had to make an adapter piece, no big deal.

so when i started the car.... it was disappointed at how quiet it was but i still had both stock cats in. the fitment kinda sucked. the rear bend was to close to the subframe and the turn down melted some plastic on my bumper, but i would attribute that to my shitty exhaust connector that i made.

since then i have went single turbo, cut the flex tube off the stock DP and fabbed my own DP to meet with that flex and the rest of the exhaust. My rear hanger location before the diff is a little weird/ not exactly perfect. but hey i saved a ton of time and money with this exhaust so that is a win in my book.

the only places i see the exhaust cracking would be in the hanger areas where the welds are a little undercut. But ive also had HKS systems with cracked hanger welds.

in the grand sceme of things, $400 for a stainless exhaust that is "close enough" is good with me. But i do plan to throw my muffler guy a few dollars to make the fit and finish better, maybe new hangers.

 

Make sense if you compares the rotary works with the oem
But the oem complate exhaust is way mora heavy cause the cat conv weight a ton

 

im running this on mine and honestly i love it! the looks and sound it great. it is quiet, reminds me alot of the racing beat tone

 

If only the opening end was larger instead of a stock piping bent look...

 

agreed!

i kinda had a plan to weld a larger turn down on the muffler itself... kinda ricy, but 10X better than a big ole can.

 

Ok it looks like it hit on the rear sub frame and its too close to the rear bumper.

I will be sure on wenesday when i take it to build a new down pipe ( cause im running single turbo) then i will upload some pics

 

heres a short clip of mine

 

Nice!!
Do you have a video in idle?
Like how it sound

 

there ya go

 

Excelent!!

Sounds so good!!!!

 

yea i stared my single turbo car this weekend with this exhaust and it is pretty damn quiet.

 

Take a video

Cause it sounds different with single turbo
