OE, Supersprint, Rogue Engineering & RPI Muffler Comparison
Took advantage of having multiple sets of mufflers in the garage to do side by side comparisons. The sound & build characteristics was unique to each brand.
We all have or have had OE to compare at some point, so I won't get into the pros/cons there.
Rogue El diablo
Pros:- Beautiful build quality, nicest welds of the bunch
- Embossed logo
- Nice loud raw sound, but less loud/aggressive than the RPI GT mufflers
- Good tip size. Bigger than OE, but no danger of beating up the bumper cutouts
Cons:- Sagging balls issue. Bummer on lowered cars because these bad boys hang just as low as OE
- 2nd worst drone levels of the buch
RPI GT
Pros:- Best tip configuration IMO. Follows the curve of the bumper better than any.
- Best exhaust sound IMO. Raw motsport carnage to put it mildly. Screaming Harpies upon accellaration + glorious burbles and pops upon downshifting/decellaration all to make you feel like you are driving a real race car
- Lightest by far
- Good build quality
Cons:- Worst drone of the bunch
- No off switch. Always 100% raw
Supersprint Powerloop
Pros:- Drone is basically none existent
- Most amount of available adjustment during installation
- Running these mufflers highlight the engine noise rather than drowning it out
- Good build quality
- Subtle deep tone
Cons:- A little on the quite side
- Though they look good, the rolled tip design is not as nice looking as Rogue and RPI tip construction IMO
- Very little weight savings. Mainly an aesthetic and sound upgrade from OE
