They both install the same way.

The SP2 makes more noise.

The tips of the SP2 are much larger and take more effort to stay shinny.

I am on my 2nd SP2, the first one lasted 76,000 miles before THIS happened. They replaced it under warranty. I have not heard of a single RB exhaust failing.

I do not regret getting the SP2, I am happy with the looks and sound of it.

go to your regional forum and find people with both exhausts, then go listen to them, then pick the one you like best, then buy the one you like best, then install it, then drive around and smile

I really like my RacingBeat Exhaust, the REV8 sounds so good, its not ricey sounding at all. As soon as i took it out of the package the quality was unbelieveable. Its not hard to keep clean, just a few swipes as long as you have some good polish, but it sounds really good. To keep it from turning golden get Hot english custom chrome polish or w.e its called, its the best polish for very hot climates...

here is a vid when i first got mine....about a year later i'm still thrilled with it...and it sounds better as it ages....still looks great too...

i was deciding between the two as well but i like the double walled look of the rb tips and think it looks like better quality...

Ever consider Borla? I'm debating between the RB, Greddy and Borla. I've been leaning on the RB side for a while now.

Not to thread jack I'm curious how people compare the Borla to these other two. It may be another option for ya

I was doing the youtube video search, and came across exoticspeed, BandB, and Borla sounded the best. Deep, and as long as you dont redline in the city rarely do you get trouble with even Honders and their fart cans. Up to the buyer, but mystical or however you spell it has tried just about every exhaust made for this car, so check that out
