I don't wanna knock ractive, but they sound very hollow....high pitched sound....they don't put much sound suppression material in there ...compared to our mufflers, they're very lightweight,, but also sound that way....

a ractive exhaust is basically that....just noise....and usually high-pitched....

but the noise has been known to fade after a couple months in some cases as well...leaving you with a big shiny piece that says ractive on it and doesn't do much else...

Don't forget the eventual "breaking up" sound of the exhaust just prior to it fading....

This is the sound of it's last dying breath.

Everyone has different preferences , the only way you can decide what you like is to actually listen to it on the car....Keep in ming that intakes, cams,headers converter modification, resonator removal, etc... all change the sound as well, so look for someone has a simlar set-up to yours........Or , some T.O. shops will let you hear how different mufflers sound on your car, as long as you commit to buying ONE of the choices from them, they'll spend the time to try to get you into something your happy with....

You get what you pay for
Ractive is just big......and loud annoying sound.....not the deep tone you get from good exhausts like Greddy

Greddy does not produce universal mufflers. Just complete exhaust systems. Catback mandrel bent piping, exhaust and tip. Very $$$.
