FWIW - my local dealer sells RB parts in the parts dept, and if they install them you keep warranty.

I get mine on Friday, will try to install for Saturday's Autox, are you going? Yuri and I are heading out there. I ordered Stage 1 as well, Group Buy 2. I'm also waiting for the Green Filters to arrive. After this I'm going for the Racing Beat Front sway bar. I drove Alex's car and it is amazing, the body roll is greatly diminished.

I talked to Chris Cortez down at racing beat and he said that he would probably have one to ship for me on friday or monday at the latest. I actually expected to have to wait longer but hopefully I'll have it by next week now =)

They are currently on backorder again. They told me they should have more next week sometime. If anyone wants to preorder one give me a call and it will ship as soon as Racingbeat gets them.

I am sure the box is also a good 10 pounds since it does need to be rather solid.

I gotta say I was behind a WB car for most of my commute this morning, and I am still surprised at how big and ugly the stock can is.

It'll be here today [UPS Tracking]. My tires are toast so I can't autox the car right now. I should have new tires and some springs in by the 18th so I'll go then. I might even put the exhaust in tonight when I get home if I'm not too tired. I put my name on the preorder list back in late Oct 03 so that's what 6 months. I can't belive it's finally here D:D

Aw crap..knew I shoulda waited for the RB I was itchin to get an exhaust, and at the time, the best thing for me was the Borla. Right before I placed the order, I was interested in the RB. But since there wasn't a sound clip (and I didn't have the patience to wait for it), I decided to go ahead with the Borla. I figured if I kept waiting to compare the Borla with another new exhaust, I'd never get anywhere. Now I wish I'd waited just a few weeks longer. Crap for crap..

Such a nice sounding exhaust. Still, I'd like to hear what it sounds like on start up.
Without sound files or dyno sheets, what is it about the RB exhaust that makes you want it? Is it just the name that attracts you?

What is it about the Borla cat-back that you don't prefer? Your input is of great value to us as we're always looking to improve our products. Thanks for your help.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO ACTUALLY MAKES THE RB EXHAUST? I'm fairly certain that rb does not have exhaust manufacturing capabilities.

Well I think I speak for everyone when I say that the borla sounds great!! The only reason I sided against it was that weird bend in it. Just seems to scare me for some reason. Ive heard the borla in person and it sounds amazing. The RB clip sold me though, a bit of a different tone and looks to be a much smoother design. I would've ordered the borla already if it wasn't for that odd bend in it.

That is the same reason I went with the RX8store exhaust and not Borla - the weird bend.
