Now im confused?
CMH or RRP? Ahhhh.. help please? One reason I like the RRP is because warranty and I dont have to weld... Band clamps on the RRP. Also they have a remote. Is there anyone to use thermal wrap to keep the heat down somehow? Ceramic coat? any ideas? |

my experience with rrp is not great. i used the warranty to send in my basically new pair of valves for new ones but what i received were refurbished, clearly used ones, and guess what, they didnt work either. its then i realized it was the temperature that kept them from working. so basically i have well used valves now that dont work during the entire winter. ive emailed the company a few times now and they do not reply. its clear to me that they are aware of the problem but have no solution. i believe that when its cold out, their inner shaft that rotates the flaps contracts less than the aluminum frame that supports it and this causes binding. this causes the flaps to bind and trip the breaker and the motor quits.
honestly, its just plain old bad engineering. ive considered boring mine out a thousandths or two but its too much of a pita. ps sorry for the lack of caps, im writing this from a mobile device.

I've had my RRP for nearly a year now and they're still working great. I wouldn't go with the band clamps, though. You're a lot more likely to get rattles down the road. Either way, you're going to have to cut a hole in your exhaust, why not just do it right and weld it?

revising this thread. i just installed a Macht Schnell x pipe with no cats and currently have the OEM mod exhaust. sounds fun when on open throttle but i want to reduce the sound a bit. would cut outs help? if i put the cut outs on and have the valve open, wouldnt this make the system louder?
