im getting an injen sri and tein springs, after that i plan to buy the rrm pulley and tie bar, but i want to do something with my exhaust. i want to free the exhaust up a little bit but i dont want to pay $300 for a magnaflow muffler, so basically i want to know if the test pipe would do me justice? also how loud would it be with stock exhaust with the test pipe?

thanks

 

RRM sells test pipes??

 

yea but it wont work with a 04

 

i have an 05.

 

I know I was directing it to mike but I think it would probly be louder of coarse but im not sure about performance maybe 2-4hp? not sure though

 

oh, okay i was just wondering if it would be worth the money to free up my exhaust

 

You need to look under your car to ensure the test pipe will work. If your cat bolts into flanges on both sides, then you can use it. It'll help you out, but not as much as the full header.

 

And you shouldn't, either. (no offense to RRM)

I paid less than $100 shipped for mine (the Magnaflow 14829 that everyone recommends on here). That's just for the muffler, not the axel back exhaust if that's what you're looking at on RRM's website and seeing a $300 price tag. Just find an exhaust shop to do the weld for you and you can have the same effect for less than half the price of the axel back.

If you'd like to know from where, PM me and I'll let you know.

 

i just dont want to spend $460 for the header, i guess im trying to do a loww budget setup

 

youd deffinately gain a couple hp from it and it shouldnt make the car too much louder

 

are you talking about the cat-delete, if so why wouldn't it fit the 04 RA

 

since the cat is part of the downpipe on the 04. with 05+ their cat is bolted to the DP and thus able to use the RRM Cat Delete

 

that sucks I always wanted some test pipes for the ralliart, there so cheap

 

i paid 200 bucks for my custom made 2.5 inch catback exhaust, and 60 dollars for a cheap nope muffler... works welll and sounds great... noticed very very small gains... why not do that?

 

I already got the RRM Axle-Back, maybe I dot a custom 2.25-2.5 piping so i can make it a catback lol
