RNR/HKS Carbon Ti TBE

I need info on this TBE. I am about to buy it but before I do I just want people's opinions on this. How does it sound? How loud is it? Fitment? Which is what Im really concerned about...pictures would also be sufficient. I saw some pics of it from searching and RNR has pics of it on their website but I woulld really love to see how it looks on an Apex Silver Evo Alright everyone thanks alot.

Bobby

you really need to search because there are several detailed threads on this exhaust system.

Have it. Like it. Own a silver MR.

One of the hangers broke (actually, the thin piping let go). Was an easy fix, and no problems since. Ryan even offered to reimburse me, but I really don't care about the $20 it took to fix.

I have 2 resonators in my exhaust, and while it does make it quiet, it also makes the exhaust heavier. You will definitely need Kartboy hangers if you go with 2 resonators. And for you "coke can test" crazy people, the HKS carbon/ti muffler is not a full 3 inches.

I have a new RNR Turbo-back exhaust with 2 resonators and HKS Full Titanium Muffler for sale. Not the HKS Carbon/Ti Muffler, it is their full titanium muffler. Very rare.

I've had fitment issues but it can be corrected.

It's just a PITA to do so.
To me, a exhaust designed for that car should not have any fitment issues.
After having it about a month, I finally got rid of it.
It's an OK product but not the best.

Oh BTW, if you do order something from RNR, you better give them at least two weeks for your part to arrive because their shipping dept is very very slow.

I am sure other people that have bought from them would def agree with me.

For me fitment was perfect. The placement of the muffler is so good some people think it came rom the factory that way.

I had slight fitment issues but it wasnt a big deal to fix. Overall I'm very happy with the exhaust aside from the fact that it hangs kind of low.
