Re: exhaust question. RS*R Exmag experts!

i have the painted rsr for a few yrs now and there is also a non painted version. overall its a nice exhaust but starting to get too loud for me. still much quieter than the average fart can and it looks nice, but i want quiet. if you were local i would trade you for stock exhaust. only other thing i dont like about rsr is its very heavy compared to stock. i think maybe 30 lbs instead of stock 15 lbs. most aftermarket exhaust is like that tho.

Re: exhaust question. RS*R Exmag experts!

now i have stock piping with an Si muffler and its all rusted now so i gotta upgrade. i never saw the non painted so i thought maybe it was fake. i think $400 is good for the exmag right? the cheapest ws2 i saw was on dezod.com for $550

Hurry and get it, they don't manufacture it any more. I have heard good things about the rsr though I have no personal experience with it.

Robear used to be really good, a regular vendor on this site actually. They had some issues leading up to them being not as good, but I can't recall those at the moment. Just giving you a heads up.

Nevertheless, $400 for that exhaust is a great price. One of the two I was looking at before I bought my WS2. I couldn't find it for less than $550 +shipping, hence me not getting it

Re: exhaust question. RS*R Exmag experts!

nice, yeah i would go with the v2 (no paint) so you dont have rust issues. the first one used cheap steel and it would always rust up when the coating started coming off.

Re: exhaust question. RS*R Exmag experts!

not to be a hater or anything but believe there were a few folks from here that discussed rusting on an RSR exhaust. this was a few years back, but im just saying, research it
