my RB exhaust install

got my RB exhaust in today during my lunch break. had to go pick it up from the house and take it back to work. kind of tricky to get the huge box into the 8, but somehow, it worked out. glad no cops pulled me over!! the installation was freakin' cake!!! took me about 20 mins. the sound is definately deep and throatier than the stock. it isn't that loud on the upper end either. but you definately notice it. power wise...i don't feel anything :D looks bad *** tho...much better improvement over the stock exhaust. snagged some pictures.

Nice! Mine comes on the brown truck Tuesday. I can't wait! How hard will it be to install without a lift?

shouldn't be that hard. just annoying laying on your back. the RB exhaust is pretty heavy too...so you'll probably end up laying the exhaust on your chest while you hook it up to the car.

If you take it out of the box it easily fits in your back seat with the tips going down where your legs would be. Just cover the center console with a towel or something so it doesn't get scratched.

Don't you hate when someone gives you the most obvious suggestion after the fact! Thanks RotaryNoob! I'll be sure and remember that when I carry mine to the local shop. The pic was worth a million though DANomite!

why didnt you just take it out of the box? It fits perfect across the back seats, fits like a glove. Had no problem getting it the back.
