well . . . . I bought it and the 3" RP Midpipe so I"ll let ya'll know

of course it should be pretty muffled with the turbo

can't be any louder than my rx-7 . . . ****** sounds like a chainsaw.

i love the way this exhaust looks, but i've read before that they were having fitment issues and had a recall on this specific exhaust. Does this mean it's been fixed?

there's clips of this exhaust in the forum, go to exhaust summary and click on rotary extreme. It does sound like a chainsaw.

I asked about the recall on ordering - they said they hadn't heard about it

But this exhaust hasn't always been available - the shop very recently got access to them, so I'm pretty sure its been sorted out.

rotary extreme was just a distributor. I think they have a different one now... also cretinx do you still have hook ups on these? I called the company and they said it was still in its prototype stages?

those tips are from their pre production model. They never really made a finalize model. I like it, probably best flowing exhaust in the market.
