yeah, I'm actually considering RPI. Getting the quads sounds like a hastle, because of that battery issue.

And I also dont wanna spoil the want of a quad now, i rather wait 'till i get my M5.

Quick Reference questions:

Is the RPI loud, like enough to be annoying?

How much is an RPI exhaust? (After taxes, shipping, and installation, the whole deal)

What is the HP gain? Crank or Wheel?

Not loud at all to be considered to be annoying.... Although Krozi has a 545, you heard it at the meet. Trust me when I say this, you will love the sound of the RPI....

RPi all the way! Nowhere near loud enough to be annoying, but the sound and growl and performance gains are there! Careful, it decreased my gas mileage because more gas = more of that sexy sound!

C'mon Mc Meister!!

Get it done already! You can probably add about $100 shipping and $75 for install.

As far as HP... dyno's are posted on RPI's website. If you are considering dropping a G, why have you not researched this for yourself? If I am spending more than a couple bills... I do my own research, narrow the choices, then ask for opinions. You've asked for a lot of opinions, but doesn't seem like you've done much research.

Not tryin to give ya a hard time... but the reality is that we all different likes and realities. Do your research first... then ask for opinions, IMO.

But we are always willing to give our opinion

I have done research, from what I've seen is about 15 Hp gain. But I wanted to make sure from the people that already have it. And I did try checking the RPI website but there was nothing I could find.

I noticed that too. Didn't want to jack the thread but it was so apparent. Glad you mentioned it first!

Could this be the reason she sounded like she was sucking AND blowing?
