Rmr Exhaust

Well during the best week i Purchased my RMR EXHAUST.. MY JEESh that is some FAT *** EXHAUST!! FOR REALS.. I bought the DOWNPIPE TEST PIPE AND THE CAT BACk.. Simple reminder to disconnect the battery when doing the install.. SOmething caught on fire under my car for a second.. Scared the crap out of me but it was all under control..

driving impression: oh my gosh this car huals ***, The bottom end seems like there is more power... And when the turbo kicks in buckwildly at 4k it was insane... My car totally felt more different now.. I did a little test run, One of my friend has a black evo, stock except for a Greddy Type S blow off and 2 other friend in the car... We lined up at the line, we took off on a roll, I let him get one car one me. But by the end of first i took that one car back and put one car on him.. It was shocked.. The car sounded so mean with the test pipe on.. But since this was my daily commuter the test pipe wouldnt' be ideal for daily commute.. SO yesterday i had my cat put back in.. The car no longer sound as nice, I can feel that it isn't as free flowing as it was before.. And the power did drop noticably... With that said.. Anyone want to buy an RMR TEST PIPE OFF OF ME.. ONLY FOR 80 dollars. .its a 100 brand new + tax i'm only doing it for 80 =D

A high flow cat might recover some of that lost power.

Why not just keep your test pipe and swap it in on race days or something? They are pretty simple to swap.

so, how does it sound...? you got any sound clips, or can you get some...?

does this exahust require anything else...? does the boost pressure creep up with this...?

How easy was the install? any problems with the o2 sensor??

Maybe you should try buschurracing's high flow 3 in cat instead of the stock one.

It was one of the craziest things i heard in my life.. and to answer about boost creep i can't really tell because i dont' have any gauges but it KICKS ASSSSSS!!!!!

I just came back from the Airport.. and i had a police follow me for a while.> and i got on it without passing the speed limit just to let him know that my exhaust was legal... Imagine if i left the test pipe in there...

I have no idea if it sucks more gas.. If anything i saved more gas with the test pipe on.. because it was so loud that i didn't want to drive it too hard... I didn't watn cops from 3 blocks down chasing me down.. i took it off because the loudness isn't ideal for a daily driver.. Why you want to buy it.. since ur a girl i can give you a little discount if you give me a little
