Got it.
Love it.

Sound is comparable to the RB system though I believe the borla has a slightly deeper sound.

I drive a 90 TII with a RB 3in down pipe and cat delete in case you were wondering.

have it, took it off for a while becuase the piping was crooked and fucked up and it never sat right, have a single CS on right now. probably would have sounded nice if it didn't have exhaust leaks >_>

Ive got one on my car now. It looks like the RE Dolphin tail one. The sound is pretty good, nice and deep. Now I just have to fix a few leaks.

In it's 2-rotor days, the RXX-7 had a Borla cat-back. The sound was extraordinary. Listening to that sound while going WOT between turns 9 and 10 on the Summit Point racetrack was a total turn-on, since the hills on either side reflected the sound back to me. It sounded like two giant bass trombones shortening their slides.

That's the good news.

The bad news is that there was a (literally) physically painful drone at highway speeds. I finally had to line the passenger compartment with a whole roll of Dynamat to avoid the pain.

You can order it straight from there website, but i got it brand new off ebay for 350, the previous owner had never opened it so i still have a million mile warranty!





I also thought that i should have added that i have a racing beat header and a highflow cat. Sorry bout that
