Review of RPi GT Exhaust

Sticky · 03-06-2009, 06:17 PM

Just got back from RPI and wanted to say the exhaust needs to be experienced in person.

I'm not making light of the videos and photos posted but nothing will convey the viceral experience of hearing it first hand. Experiencing it in person is all it will take to convince anyone, this is THE exhaust for the M3. This thing gives the M3 a level of aggression that makes it almost scary. From the look, to the sound, it tells anyone on the road to not F*** with you.

I chatted with Eloy a bit as he was installing the exhaust on another car and I scrutinized the whole thing closely. Quality pieces, great performance, great sound, and a GREAT PRICE. I'm getting the whole thing.

For everyone else, take the time to see this thing for yourself. It is well worth it and I'm sure you will learn a few things as well just by stopping by.

Which other header back systems have you also heard in person?

I haven't heard a full header back system other than this, only exhausts that change the rear alone.

I like the AA system but it costs 1.5 times as much. This one sounds great but I wonder how they compare? I live in the middle of nowhere so I have to go by videos and other people's opinions

Probably because I haven't had my car for a while now.

One thing about our exhausts is I personally design them and they are ALL made here. We dont import stuff from Asia.

If you have a problem/question about our systems, we are always here. Its not like you call us and then we call China or Taiwan or something. Everything is taken care of here.

BTW, we are 98% sure that this system will fit the E90 with no issues. The only difference is that the E90 tips will come out about 3/4" farther than on the E92.

Told you so.

Did u feel the power difference? If not, come drive my car man. It's amazing.

EOE90:
Give me a PM, we can meet up.

Everyone else that wants to hear the system in person, I'll be at the Vorsteiner meet tomorrow and I'll be happy to rev it up or take you for a spin. Just look for the guy with the shaved head and tight jeans. (That was for you Eloy!

Yeah the guy with the REALLY tight jeans. Seriously, I dont think you will ever have kids in the future.

rAdzM · 03-06-2009, 11:53 PM

I just got my RPI full gt race exhaust installed today. I don't know what to say, I'm speechless, I'll let my car do the talking. I'm just glad that I went with RPI on my exhaust set-up. A money spent well. Eloy's a genius and of course with the help of his side-kick "forgetful" Joe! hahahaha.....

ps. now I need a louder/upgrade my sound system because the exhaust just overtook the whole car!

chris s · 03-07-2009, 05:46 PM

Does the full system remove or replace the cats?

RPI...do you have a price for just the rear muffler section?

I had some good back to back clips but something happened to them and they got corrupted. I managed to save part of them in 3 pieces. First is the axle back, then the full, then the axle back again.

So did you notice a huge difference in gains between the two? Sound?

Does anyone know what the cost is for just the rear section? What about x-pipe?

What suspension do you have there with the LMs? Sits perfectly!

Thanks! I have H&R springs.

I have the rear section only on the car, all I can say it's sounds amazing!

///M PWR 00 · 03-08-2009, 11:22 PM

Hey do you have any more shots of your M3? I cant get enough of those LMs....
