RPI mounted

dubsesd · 08-26-2012, 08:09 AM

just picked up a set of rpi cans. definety a change from my stromung exhaust. has a very supercar like sound. gettting looks and thumbsup all last night.

GammaZeta · 08-26-2012, 08:40 AM

Love the larger/smaller look. You're not selling the Stromungs by change?

dubsesd · 08-26-2012, 09:15 AM

I'm considering. I really dont wanna sell them because I know its gonna be hard to get a set later. But I'm in love with note of the rpi....

Beedub · 08-26-2012, 09:19 AM

yessss!! they sound lovely dont they!!

they look really nice on your wonderful car! pickup the DKF brackets if you want to isolate the vibrations alittle!!

dubsesd · 08-26-2012, 09:36 AM

I don't feel any vibrations really. Just some drone when getting on the gas in a higher gear at low rpm. I'm going to put some dynomat soundproofing in the truck under the carpeting and call it a day. The stromung is an awesome daily exhaust, but since I only drive my car on weekends and some afternoons, I wanted something louder

Shota15 · 08-26-2012, 11:34 AM

best looking, best sounding exhaust IMO, I have a set on mine and I have more people comment on how nice they look and how good they sound. They are awesome.

txz4 · 08-26-2012, 12:09 PM

may just be the angle, but i would say adjust them up a little bit. Just a little bit closer to the bumper, as always terrific picture!

get DKF exhaust mounts...they fix this

mexicobmw · 08-26-2012, 12:23 PM

they look great!!! the dkf hangers do help for the low rpm vibrations.

dubsesd · 08-26-2012, 01:14 PM

interesting. these just replace the oem hangers?

ncnmra · 08-26-2012, 05:33 PM

If you do decide to part with your Stromungs, I'm very interested (and in Ontario too).

David70 · 08-26-2012, 07:54 PM

Also interested in the Stromung if you decide to sell them and regularly drive to Ontario for work.

dubsesd · 08-26-2012, 08:24 PM

Keep an eye out in classifieds. I may post them up this week

mexicobmw · 08-26-2012, 10:09 PM

yew they replace the hangers. I bought a set of Re diablos in the forum and the seller included the hangers. I installed them at first without the hangers to test the difference and they do reduce the vibrations at 1-2.5 revs. I am still going to instal some dynamat or something similar in the trunk to reduce the drone a little more.

mgwatson48 · 08-26-2012, 11:07 PM

any chance you could post a video of the sound?

dubsesd · 08-27-2012, 07:04 AM

Of the rpi? Or the diablos? I'll make a short video tonight

nobrakese28 · 08-27-2012, 10:17 AM

RPI's have the best looking tips!

Back off buddy, I'm first...

ricanbandit · 08-27-2012, 10:38 AM

i have been thinking about the same thing. The Stromungs definitely sound better than stock, but a little more aggressiveness might be what the doctor ordered.
