So I've had this on one day so far. Turbo seems way louder. but the exhaust note is nice and quiet until I get the revs going. HAvent beat on it yet because I want to fill up with premium first. My car smells like McDonalds french frys now, I think that might be hot stainless steel smell?

a little bit of adjusting needed to center em...

hope your runnin the turboback with fcd..

I'm running a RE amemiya redom ECU. Good for .9 bar i guess that like 13 psi. Tuned for free flow exhaust, intake and stock turbo. Should be OK I hope haha

You mean like a Hershey bar left in the car on a hot summer's day?

rotarychainsaw 07-23-2005 11:00 AM

cruise and idle sounds the same as my old exhaust which was stock with a tiny hole in the cat, very quiet. When you get on it though and the revs climb you can tell the difference.

teknics 07-23-2005 04:10 PM

yea the rb duals sound awesome, at cruise and idle its almost not recognizable.



it did take me a bit to get the tips perfectly centered, but thats me being ****.

The sound aside, have you noticed any performance improvement over stock? RB claims quite a bit of gain from their turbo-back exhaust system.

rotarychainsaw 07-27-2005 10:23 PM

Yeassss. I'm starting to get on it now and the difference is VERY noticeable. I get 5psi a half throttle now instead of WOT. Way more power.
