jonanator · 09-03-2009, 10:43 AM

Got my tracking number as well. Extremely excited! This is just a simple bolt off-bolt on install, right?

Z4MCJJ · 09-03-2009, 12:48 PM

Guys...please post vids once you have these installed...I am very interested in buying these...but I have SS headers and catless s-pipes and I am worried my car would be too loud...

Mine are supposed to show up tomorrow. I will do before and after vids and post them in this thread before the weekend is over. Hope that will help.

The__J__Factor · 09-03-2009, 10:25 PM

^ Thats awesome, get lots of pics ect.

Im thinking about going RPi now. I love my Re Diablo but I really wish the RE tips where beveled like the RPi one.
Also unbolted sounded really really good so im sure the RPi will sound great in person.

acvr4 · 09-04-2009, 09:09 AM

Very nice cat backs - I'd have a set if I went the M route

I'm impressed with all I've read, and a Group Buy discount is a very nice inducement to order. I don't like the stock sound, in fact it is my biggest dislike with the Ms. But, I am having a problem committing to purchase at this point, as the biggest reason for purchase is a change in sound and not a loss of performance. So, I hope those folks that get the assemblies initially can offer objective comments re sound vol., tone, and drone. The youtube clips are great, but they don't really help for those of us that want a sexy exhaust note, but don't want to have a hard time carrying on a conversation with the passanger, or a bluetooth call whislt motoring down the road.
So, guys... please use all due alacrity on offering reviews of the exhaust assemblies once mounted and run for a couple of days.
Looking forward to reading feedbacks.
Rgds,
Lew

laidback · 09-04-2009, 10:15 PM

I agree it'll be hard to replicate the sound on video and everyone can say it's the best sounding exhaust but might not be for you...the only best way is to find a car with the same setup and drive around with it...if your in SoCal feel free to PM me and i'll be glad to meet up with you and let you take her for a spin so you can have a feel of the sound first hand...i can even call you while i'm driving

laidback, thank you for the kind offer. Unfortunatley, I'm in the Puget Sound area and SoCal is a little too far. Guess I'll continue to hope to get an accurrate picture of the sound levels and tone from the posts members will put up after fitment.

Just had my exhaust installed yesterday. A friend of mine has several Ferraris and reckoned Ferrari of Denver would be able to slot me in with their shop. The managers were as interested as I was in how the RPI exhaust would sound as they had recently intalled a Tubi on an M3 and thought it was too quiet. Intall was easy - straight bolt on. The finish of the exhausts is fantastic, a real deep lustre and the RPI logos look good too. The RPI exhausts weigh 7.8 lbs a piece compared to 22lbs stock so a big weight saving. Fired the car up in the shop and we were all surprised that it seemed fairly quiet. However when the engine is under load - it is pretty loud. All the managers thought is sounded way better than the Tubi and was the best exhaust they had heard on an S54 yet. The exhaust has transformed the car which now sounds exotic with lots of different harmonics as you climb the rev range. As I was leaving I opened the car up in first and through to redline in second past the Ferrari dealership as several of the managers had come out to hear the car. I got lots of thumbs up. Yes there is drone on the highway but the car sounds fantastic when you put your foor down. I'll try and take some video later today.
