Agency Power Catback on S2

Im concidering buying the agency power catback and mid pipe combo to install on my 09 R3, Just wanted to know if anyone fitted one on a serie 2 and if the only mod required are the extended hangers ( and if 2 or 4 are needed) and concerning the Sound, I heard alot of different opinion on this exhaust, raspiness?, too loud? what would be your opinion.

The cheapest place I found it was on the rx7store, any other places I should concider for the best price shipped to Canada?

Thanks guys

nice revive ... but at least you searched

the biggest concern for any S1 exhaust placed on an S2 is the clearance of the intermediate pipe. Naturally an S1 exhaust will have its intermediate pipe curve upwards to compensate for the higher location of the exhaust tips relative to the S2 location. Putting an exhaust that follows that patter on an S2 will cause a few issues. The first is that the intermediate pipe may hang a little bit lower than intended ... if you are at stock height, this may not be an issue. the second is that because the intermediate pipe is sitting a bit lower, this causes the alignment angle of the intermediate pipe to the axle back portion of the exhaust to be offset, which is the common complaint when people notice that one exhaust tip is sticking out futher than the other.

The above most certainly is an example of what happens with the TurboXS catback and may hold true for many others.

You wont have issues as long as you buy some longer or adjustable hangers, you need 4 of them.

in the case of the TXS catback (and certainly some others), adjustable hangers will not remedy the problem.

But Xexok is right, regardless you need adjustable hangers to clear the exhaust shrouds when installing an S1 exhaust on an S2.
