This is RPi's older FULL catless system called the GT Race. It has been "discontinued" sort of. lol RPi has a whole new catless exhaust called the RPi GTM. More power, better sound!



PM me if you want any more details!

The RPI tips are very nice, but the circular mufflers look like garbage from behind the car (hang down very low, and they're very visible)....jmho

i get a ton of compliments on the sound. Very deep like american muscle but refined. I think there is a bit of drone between 2500 and 3200 which can get monotonous at times but it's a nice exhaust.

Whatever you do, DO NOT get the full RPI setup that they used to offer. Worst sounding exhaust ever. Although the axle back by itself is good but doesn't come close to its competitors.

Doesn't come close, how do you mean? Mine sounds great. Most people love this exhaust, which do you have?

i think the drone for any aftermarket exhaust is hard to eliminate, we are dealing with that with our prototype. If you want light weight+performance gains...it's gonna have drone..

unless you go titanium, which also comes with a price...

BTW: not sure how many of you guys follow RPI on facebook, but they have a new project car in the works...

Don't get me wrong. It sounds very good, but I have been through enough axle-backs to give my honest opinion. I currently have a Gintani.

The problem I had was with the full RPI GT system. That thing sounded like a rice rocket and I was embarrassed to drive my car for the one day I had it on.
