Question about the RS*R ExMag GT-II series catback
Hey guys,
As a catback system in my car I have installed a galvanized pipe and a nice looking universal muffler. At the time I bought it I couldn't afford a better product. But now I got some bread and I'm considering the RS*R ExMag GT-II cat back, but they only make them for the EX models and mine's an LX. Here's my question, what about if I just get the RS*R muffler and leave the catback galvanized pipe installed? Will my gains in HP be the same as if I would get the whole RS*R cat cabck system? Do I need to increase the pipe's diameter? Thanks in advance.
Mike.
ps. Current pipe's diameter is 2 inches.

I thought you were thinking about getting a header too? Why not get an EX header?
Wait, you would be needing a b-pipe for that set-up. I used the RandomTech hi-flow cat as my b-pipe.
No need to buy an EX swaybar. No need to get an O2 sim, O2 wire can be extended to reach the after-cat O2 sensor bung.

RS*R systems are completely designed for each car, nothing is universal. It would be wise to buy the whole thing. Its worth the money, I know first hand.
