What exhaust do you all have, do you have pic and even vid's or sound clips. I'm trying to figure out which one I should get. I've been looking at the RS-R 3-inch. What do you think?

I have the Apexi N1 Dual. It is not as loud as most of the N1s, but still provides good flow. My picks were in the Member's Rides Section Hopefully it will be up soon.

I had the Blitz Realize TT from the ECR33, we has to "modify" it to fit, we took out ont of the resonators, flipped ont pipe over and added about 10 inches of 3" pipe to it and that was it....the exhaust was awesome to say the least.

Yes I got hte Apexi dual N1 and love it. Now it is not at all loud with the RB25. Used to be annoying with the KA.

Open downpipe. Stock muffler held in place, but not connected to anything.

(But that's just temporary.)

The pics aren't working. . . . I'm looking for a deep & throaty sound, like the Mine's GTR.

Ditto on the N1 Dual. Can't over-hype it. Sounds awesome, it's fairly quiet, and has excellent flow for a nice price (if you shop around). Resonation in the 2000-3000 rpm normal driving range is not bad at all (unlike most other high-flow exhausts), at least with the stock RB20 turbo. With the windows up it is just a low rumble.

Side draft here.. no need for a 3" all the way back.

Not loud at all with a cat.

To me the GTspec is ideal for the RB series motors. 3inch is great, but with a 3.74inch exhuast on an I6 is more ideal, especially if you plan on upgrading to a new turbo. It's also worth spending an extra $40-80 for it since it is .74inch bigger and stainless steal all the way back. You want something deep sounding then GTspec is what you are looking for.

I found the GT spec to be the cheapest option (name brand wise), not to mention it's enormous piping.

Think about it, if a 1.8l turbo integra can easily utilize a 3in back exhaust, why wouldn't a 3.75 inch exhaust be even more ideal on a 2.5L turbo straight six?

My friend is running a custom 4inch exhuast on his. It is 4inch stainless steal with the GTspec muffler on it. The GTspec is the best buy and is not to much at all. 4cyl. run 3inch all the time with thier 1.6-2.0l, so why wouldn't you think that a 6cyl. 2.0-2.6l wouldn't be ideal for a 3.74inch exhuast?

Believe me... the piping diameter difference is NUTS. All of my friends gasped at the GT Spec, even with nothing to compare it to.
