No other piping is required. It's a simple bolt-on. You cut your stock piping and bolt on the RPI. That simple. I've been researching exhausts for the past month or so. I've decided to go with RPI, just not ready to pull the trigger yet.

it is sufficient enough. I know some who have taken out the center pancake resonator though to have more sound.

If you want the highest available gains from an exhaust, RPi would be the only way to go. Trinity FTW!

If you want to hear the RPI in person, PM member vlad_b as he's in San Jose and has it on his 545.

Why go through a middle man like trinity? But it directly from RPIpower.com and save some money and more importantly if something goes wrong you can work more easily on a warranty return etc. These middle man simply buy and sell things--waste of space. Go rigth to the producer.

RPI is a great choice. Supersprint and Remus are WAY quiet, as I have had both before and you will not be satisfied

Have you had first hand issues dealing with Trinity on something like a warranty return or can you prove that they would charge you more than going to RPI? Do you think a producer is going to kill his dealers by undercutting them with pricing?

I can appreciate that you're back and active on the forum cause you have a passion for these cars but choose your words wisely before you cross paths with some very respected members on this board.
