I have to agree, the RB system is hard to beat even if it is a bit more expensive than some. Ya gets what ya paid for.

I had it and loved it, only changed mine when I went turbo to free up a little more HP. That being said, the RB had a way better sound, and of course I used the RB downpipe and pre-silencer with the Apexi N1 EVO.

I think that will be what I do. I also completely agree about getting what you pay for. I was just looking at shipping costs on their site.... shipping for the full kit is about $140 to me which totals the kit out at $1457.07. If i but everything but the header it comes to $989.00 but shipping jumps up to $228.37 for a total of $1217.37. I emailed customer service to see if there is anything they can do about the shipping charge. Just seems excessive to come close to doubling the shipping charge when im ordering less.

And yea shipping cost is stupid.

Apparently I’ll have to call to place the order so they can appropriately adjust the shipping.

It did sound like it had a hole in it. . like it was from the split air pipe.

Do it!

We have a good friend that could make you one. Don't know the cost though.

I mitigated the split air pipe issue. Unbolted it and stuffed the hole on the exhaust with JB Weld. Its sounds like now its leaking from the manifold.

I think I'm going to... but after I get my wheels powder coated. I can hardly stand to look at the stupid wheels on it anymore.

Can anyone recommend a good place to have them powder coated?

This guy PC some wheels for me back when i was drifting

Was the quality good? I got a quote from Middle Tennessee Powder Coating. Pricing is consistent with what I've seen so far but he said they are like 10-12 weeks out right now. I was really hoping to get it done sooner.

Yes and yes

Shepard is out of the country at the moment.

And sorry, but I don't think an NA FC is worth the $$$ amount that either one of those two would charge for an exhaust system.

Dustin wanted to charge me over $2000 to fix the frame rail on the Cosmo. Carter did it in one evening, for free. (well returning a favor).

I mean.. you can't really fault someone running a business for charging you what they are worth. It obviously wasnt worth $2000 to you but again..... business is business. If I wanted a custom exhaust for my car I would expect the price/quality to reflect custom.

It was 'side work', not through the business.........I don't ask for discounts from people I know.

In that case I can understand your frustration.
