I had my RPi exhaust installed the other day. Wow! My car feels so much different. It's now free to run! Increase in performace is very noticable with my "butt dyno" It climbs the RPM range so much quicker now.
Also, it is not as loud as I had expected. I was worried that it was going to be too loud. For the guys in their 30's and married w/ kids, no need to worry! I'm in the same boat. LOL! It is only loud when accelerating, and it's not even that loud. At cruising speed it's quiet, especially with the radio on. Outside of the car, the sound is just plain sick! I love it!
RPi and Trinity have another satisfied customer!! Thanks Nerweezy!

Install? I brought it to a local Meineke, since they were the only one in the area that would install a product that was not purchased from them. They charged me $70. Their hourly rate is $78.

Would you happen to have a recording of the sound it produces? I'm also looking for performance but not crazy about those screaming exhaust sounds like those hondas that are modded with an exhaust.

check youtube. We'll never a release an exhaust that does nothing performance or sounds like a fart can.
