I've tracked my gsxr and zx6r. It's incredibly fun and exciting but tracking my 8 is lot safer. With the little one on the way I have to start playing things more safe.

Heres a video when I still had the cat. It is paired up with the RB resonated midpipe now. Ignore the exhaust rattle!

It went away once I installed the RB midpipe. I'm assuming somehow it moved the exhaust away from whatever it was rattling against.

Not a problem. You could try wrapping the exhaust if you can find the exact area it is making contact with. I read it could be the removable tip as well. That's all I know though, good luck!

Horrible? Damn I didn't think I'd hear that. I do admit that it does not capture the traditional sound of the Renny, but I dig it. Sounds better in person and with the RB mid. I guess I could be biased since it is my car.

I can assure you it does not sound like a honda. I hear many of those around here and it is nowhere near that. How much did you pay for that custom exhaust?

Didn't, came with the car. I own a JDM model. It's made out of titanium, but needs a real good clean up

It seems like with all the single side exhaust out there. Someone or some company would have came out with a blank out panel for the other side. I was hoping if someone has or has heard of a company they would let me know.

I remember race roots claiming they were going to release a rear diffuser that would solve the issue. Never heard anything more than a statement though. If they released something like that I would surely be interested in one.

i wouldn't...I don't care that much about the aesthetics. I bought a single partially to be different. I like the look.

I would say so... My HKS isn't "raspy" at all... It's got a nice deep tone. I've got a stock... modified.. cat pipe.
