ya, the RRM DP is a 2-1: 2 runs out of the header, to 1 run to meet the catback. its a direct fit to the OEM catback, and this is a direct replacement for the OEM catback (just bigger and higher quality).

 

I meant if you get the Kamikaze header. Isn't it a 4-1? Then it needs to attach to the DP, which is 2:1. So you'd need a 2" long 1:2 piece for them to match up. OR, am I missing something here.

 

honestly i haven't gotten the Kamikaze header, but i think they would've had to keep it 4:2-1 because they hadn't.. it'd be more restrictive than stock... unless i'm missing something.

 

BTW I called VRS today and they aren't shipping any catbacks yet. Will be a few more weeks unless you plan on driving to Florida.

 

yea, they have to build the jig for it still. not something you just wake up and do, ya know. shouldnt be much longer before they can mail-order them

 

I don't quite understand the mechanics of how one is built to be shipped vs. built to be installed... requires some sort of jig I guess. I think I can hold onto my Magnaflow for another few weeks while they finish up the procedure.

 

the bends are automated. they feed in a section of tubing, enter the car code and press a shiney red button, then 5 mins later, they have all the tubing cut to perfect size and bent flawlessly. they need to make the jig to let the machine do that

 

man i would be all over this as i know how much it would be and i got the money, but my stupid parents are a ***** to win over....

 

well I ordered mine today and once i get it ill take some pix and post it. I will also see if i can find someone with a cam and take some vids.

 

so i guess they got the jig made? what muffler did you ask for? if none, its probably a magnaflow

 

ikp, I hope you ordered it over the phone.

 

why is that? ive got my invoice and i dont think the jig is done yet as they said it would still be about a week till they got it made i think. anyways i asked for the magnaflow #14821.

 

ok cool, just wanted to make sure u didnt talk to someone who didnt know whats going on /w this =) looks like ur straight. keep us updated.

BTW, i got it dyno'd afterwards. no peak real gains, but some impressive duration gains. I gained about 1-2 HP, lost about 1-2 tq, but my powerband is peaked MUCH longer now. that means you accelerate faster longer. you can really tell on the highway =) here is a crappy picture

after:


im happy =)

 

Because I noticed some abnormalities with the e-mail addresses. If, for example, you mouse-over their e-mail info at the website (info@vrsexhaust.com) it actually sends mail to villar1@aol.com. I sent my request to both e-mails, just in case. I got an immediate reply from info@vrsexhaust saying it was an automatic reply, etc etc. Then about a week later I get a response from villar1@aol, in all caps, saying something like "SEND MONEY SYSTEM READY IN A MONTH".

Not saying anything is going on, but I would conduct my business over the phone at this point.

 

well there email is villar1@aol.com. so for anyone else ordering on the net just email to that addy as i did, and it will be ok. ill keep ya posted.
