RR Exhaust (Yes or No)?

yandy · 03-25-2009, 10:14 AM

As the title says, I don't have allot of money to throw around but the Riss Racing Exhaust seems pretty good for the money. I'm just wondering from experience if this should be a go or no go?.

Thanks in advanced for your advice.

Go Custom!

-Perfect Fitment!
-Custom Exhaust Note!
-Great Price if you find the right shop!

I bought a used RR exhaust ....It was only slightly used and mounted up pretty good. The shop I had do the install adjusted the hangers and I have a great fitting exhaust. I guess I could have done the install myself, but would have spent hours trying to get the exhaust tips to line up right....only took a pro a few minutes to have them looking like they came on the car...

I was worried about RR not giving me the same support since I bought them used.....that was not the case . The installer is very important IMHO . Find a shop that is willing to work with you and the guys at RR....they have allways returned our phone calls......even on weekends....and they knew I bought it used.

Very happy with my exhaust for Riss Racing. Like others have said it might take a little work to get the tips to line up perfectly, but it's really not a big deal and the exhaust sounds amazing. Also, while I don't have dyno numbers to prove it, this exhaust should be posting as high if not higher gains then any other.

hahahaha my bad dude! for some reason i read that you where looking for an intake haha..i'll delete my post.

I LOVE mine, it has such a mean growl but does not drone- exactly what I was looking for. It's definitely not a conservative exhaust but I don't find it obnoxiously loud, a good mix between being aggressive and maintaining comfort.

I love mine...I have a small leak but I'm pretty sure it's a faulty gasket between the midpipe and axelback. Got it used for 900 shipped, can't beat it for sound, looks, and price.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

I love my rr exhaust. FWIW, no install problems with catless downpipes or exhaust. That is, except for the downpipes being a PITA to install (as expected).

Go custom..I did, at a third of the cost...And it sounds awesome..

Add1ct · 03-26-2009, 11:38 PM

It's hard to say. If I don't stomp on it all the time then sure I've seen a couple MPG boost, but I've found that I have a bit more of a lead foot now (I just want to hear the exhaust every chance I get), so that seems to have offset the savings that I'd see.

Haha that's funny as!

They removed the mid pipes which includes the two center cats and the resonator.

Then they replaced with 2.5 to 3 inch pipes to OEM rear muffler..

Still running standard downpipes..

In Oz my exhaust cost $750AU($520US) compared to around $2250($1562US) for a BMW Performance exhaust.
