Has anyone noticed a increase in RPM in idle after they installed a aftermarket exhaust.

I haven't noticed a change at all in RPM. All my piping is 2.5" and from behind the cats, its straight to the muffler and out back, no resonators.

Weird... I was getting my ECU flashed and my installer told me that since I have a high performance the computer is pushing out more air ,which makes the RPM Increase. I even tried to lower threw the computer program and it successfully works but when i unplug the pc the computer from the R50 makes it go back up.

Whats your idle when your car is warmed and cold

that sounds about right it just might be louder than your old exhaust and it may seem to be at a higher rpm,, idk

Proper idle RPM's are 750 RPM's (+/- 50 RPM's)
