The RB flash (or any flash for that matter) regardless of whether its the street or race version, will not have a direct affect on the loudness of the car. As far as the exhaust goes though, from everything I have read or heard on sound clips of the Turbo XS exhaust, it is pretty loud especially when paired with a race pipe.

I used to have the Turbo XS w/ racepipe NA and Turbo. With the turbo, sound is loud, but mean. Without the turbo, it was just rediculously loud. Sounds like you're next to a race car. I thought it was cool at first, but then it just got annoying.

This clip doesn't really do justice to how loud it was. If some of the Bay Area members remember hearing it a few months back, they can probably testify. It set off alarms in open air areas.

I called RB today about them flashing my car on 4/30. I'm driving down to LA with a friend so since I'm going to be in town I will pull the PCM in their parking lot. They said it will take approx. 1.5 - 2 hours. Anyone want to hook up for a possible group flash?

Anyone know if I buy their exhaust if it will fit in the back seat for the drive home?

I was able to fit the stock exhaust in the car:



Since Racing Beat exhaust is two pieces, I bet it would be even easier.

You can definitely get the RB exhaust to fit. I normally put the passenger seat down, and put it over there. That way I can put the seat belt around it to make sure it stays secure.

A bit much for normal driving... How much of that extra exhaust sound level got into the cabin during normal driving?
