Sounds great, the reason I chose RB was cause it gives it a nice deep sound but it's not loud, I'm very pleased with it...

Hard to say I didn't really step on it today, the cops around here are going nuts with this click it or ticket and they are all over the place. But it does revup smoother when you step on it!!! :D

cool. Let me know if you feel a power difference. Once they put the RB Clutch Setup back into my car(long long story), I'll be looking at the Intake and Exhaust to add.

good job, the exhaust looks great and i bet it also sounds great with the intake

one question, in your opinion if you compared the stock exhaust sound and the RB exhaust sound, would the difference be very obvious?

I'm going for the same combo hopefully will have it installed within a week. Let us know if there is any diffrence in power! but I'm mainly going for sounds and looks, RB seems like realy good stuff, I almost went with Revi intake and Borla. I figured the intake and exhaust from same company should work very well? I'm sure it does keep us posted, maybe MPG goes up?

Bonton - is Powder Coated Perforated Aluminum, 0.063" checkout grilleguy.com

Konig - The difference is just that it has a deeper sound. At Idle you can't tell the difference betwenn stock and RB. It sounds very nice when you Revit up but it does not sound loud, it is a nice deep sound...

dwill - I tought the Borla was too loud for my taste and I went with RB, This morning I step on it while on third gear and you do feel a difference specially once you hit 6-7K RMP, I'll keep you'll updated. I just filled up today and reset my odometer to see if there is a difference in MPG.

The RB Exhaust and intake was a perfect fit and the Intake came with very good instructions, the quality and detail of the Intake and Exhaust is excellent, I will definately recommend them.

The last piece will be the RB Spoiler which I have and just need to send to get painted and installed... I'll post pics when I'm done.....

Thanks all for your feedback.... :D

No I tried but I couldn't unhook it from those rubber holders. I took it to a shop and found out they have a tool to do it with; it took 20 Mins and $50.00, not bad at all....

I find my mpg to be better since the REVi install, but not any cheaper because I drive it harder now to hear that sweet intake sound .
