So we don't have true duals? Damn, I always thought we did. Again, what do I know? Thanks for the clarification.

I know members on here do a quad setup on their 535s, are there any drawbacks to it? It looks cool, but does the sound come out weaker, for some odd reason or another? Maybe less build up to create the sound? Or is the resonance based on something else?
the stock exhaust is not a true dual exhaust. It has dual piping from the downpipes, switches to single piping in the single muffler, and comes through as a dual tip. The rpi exhaust has dual piping from the downpipes all the way back to the dual mufflers and dual tips.\\

quad exhaust usually lose hp

RPi is currently offering an additional $200 discount for anyone who makes a new purchase and posts a Youtube Video.
The requirements are that the video needs to be a minimum of 40 seconds long. The video must consist of start ups, revs, and take offs


The total price of the exhaust will be $1699.00 with the group buy discount.
