No no, you're the piece of shit, since you're "The Shitter". Change that stupid Grand Pooper name to The Shitter. There, much better.

If you want quality brand on your car:
* go with a brand involved in racing just like akrapovic (http://www.akrapovic.com/car-exhaust/products/bmw/)or Remus...
* go with a brand that you can already find on a high end stock car
* do not trust the local mickey mouse brand (unless you are personaly involved in the development and you have the engineering skills to do it)
* do not believe what vendors say because most of them just want to make $
* go to a race track and talk to people (they will tell you who are the local exhaust gurus)

So you're saying RPI isn't one of those "quality" brands?

Please clarify if you're indeed saying RPI is a "mickey mouse brand".

Nevermind. That's such an ignorant statement and I realized it's a reflection of the poster so why bother dealing with stupidity.

Maybe your name is Minnie Mouse and Mickey broke your heart somewhere in time.
