Ractive bolt on exhaust

hey has anyone ever heard how the Ractive fireball style exhaust sounds on our car??? I like the way it looks because it's just a simple looking rear section I just don't wanna get it if it has that high pitched, weed wacker, ricer sound
I want a deep quieter sound...anyone can fill me in?

this is how u can tell if it has a weed wacker sound. if its an N1 exhaust with a big diameter inside the muffler, diameter more than 3 inches would sound raspy with a straight pipe. unless u get a resonator ull sound like a can. but ractive isnt like that. ractive is good. because i had one before. i sold it to Darkcivic. but its deep and low bass sound. if u get an APEX i, it would sound raspy with a straight pipe. get my drift here?

From my experience, the Apexi N1 full catback doesn't sound raspy at all, it sounds nice and deep. I have a N1 Turbo muffler (bigger piping, bigger tip) w/ custom piping and well yes, it sounds pretty ricey. What is the price on the Ractive one?

I got a ractive exhaust the dual tip that points up, and It sounds sweet in my opinion. It doesnt sound ricey or like a weed wacker its low and deep and pretty subtle, but much better than stock

If you're just getting the rear section, I suggest you shop around.

Those rear sections are alot cheaper than $200.. I've seen them for $85- $95

Got a Ractive Fireball style axleback on my car. Bought it really just for looks and sound, and I'm really satisfied with both. The exhaust note is nice and deep, and doesn't get buzzy even at high rpm.

People say the same about Altezzas.
