If I was RnR and I was to change one thing on the exhaust and it would be the slipfit. That thing sucks and leaks. They should use some flanges. Besides that the TbE is Great.

I don't agree. The slip fit is ok, but it should slip fit the other way. It's all how you place the clamp.

Karyboy hangers work really well. Most everyone doesn't need them, but it does help and it's just a better hanger support.

Ryan told me they modified the muffler to make it a full 3", but I measured it and its not quite that big. Maybe slight bigger than 2.5" but definitely not 3"

No, all our of our exhaust components are a true 3".



If you opt for the HKS Carbon/TI muffler is has neckdown in the muffler to 2 7/8" I believe. There is nothing you can do about it, but if you want a true 3" just use the RnR N1 muffler or Magnaflow we offer.

My only issue is my DP hitting my ACD and it rattles like crazy .. I wish there was a way to fix it with out wrapping it as the wrap jsut gets cut up and falls off over time.

Yes, if you have the older version downpipe then just heat wrap the downpipe in that section. It is an easy fix.

I still havent installed my exhaust yet but I'm going to be super disappointed if it rattles on the ACD. That isnt cool, you should get a new one!

They By far have the Worst Customer Service though. I should have listened to everyone and went with AMS or BR racing, if you want the " JDM hottness" piece together your own exhuast.
