Any thoughts on that? I love the RPI sound, but do not want to deal with the drone, which I've heard from many is pretty obnoxious.
So the questions are: where do I get these parts? And is there anything else I need besides these three pieces (i.e., the JVT Headers, the SS X Pipe, and the SS race exhaust)?
Is it a straight swap out of parts, or are there other pieces I need to buy as well?
Thanks for any help! |
What do you like about the sound? Stromung cans are very deep lots of bass, Eisenmann a bit less bass, Supersprint a bit higher pitch, RPI the highest. JVT are just cheap e-Bay headers, substitute those for Euro headers. Euro headers Euro cat will work with any set-up past secondary cats. Supersprint cans require it's own x-pipe IIRC and won't mate with stock x-pipe w/o work/adapters.
As already suggested, do one piece at a time. Cans are a basic piece, x-pipe adds more sound (louder too) and pops/burbles, headers even louder but more complicated given O2 relocate etc.
I've run:
RPI
Rogue Diablo
Eisenmann Sport + X-Pipe
Remus
KKS TI + X-Pipe + Headers
Eisennmann combo and KKS combo are IMO best sound and least drone, Stromung a close second. Drone is subjective, nevertheless RPI and Rogue were intolerable.
Rob's Strömung is FS here, it's a great place to start.
