RPI GT Race exhaust...

RPI was successful on giving our beloved Z4M some mad Hp/tq and now finally today Eloy called me and said their doing the R&D on the exhaust for the Z4M and will be doing a grp buy for us...and will be also tuned for the current software they have for our Z4M...all i ask right now is for us to be patient for those interested for the RPI exhaust as the R&D part will take a little time (good for us, so we can save $$$) but i'm sure our patience will pay off...

and yes the sound and exhaust tips will be bad@$$

pls put your name on the list for those interested...

I currently have the RPI skid plates and RPI scoop. Really curious to see what the price will be and what they will develop....

Here is AlpineM's comment on the exhaust...

The race needs to be rerun for sure ... me or Mandisa will do the video taping .. and no passengers this time! I want to see three gears all out to see how this pans out.

Closing thoughts - The RPI exhaust is loud as sin ... seriously, mine(BMS) and Zeddy's (Stromung) sound like child's play next to that Laidback's coupe.

Tips will NOT be that big. There has to be some space for inperfections/warping or variances of the bumpers, etc.

I wouldn't want them that big anyway. The muffler also moves during driving, it would be banging against the sides.

Are you just realizing that? Cuz I think everyone knows that already. Eloy(RPI) was just stating a fact that they won't actually be that large. Some people might actually like them and then expect them to look like that. I personally think they look too big in the photochop.
