Installed pics: RS*R EX-Mag GTII on an EK *Updated pics*
*EDIT*: Newer pics on page 2 since there was so much crying about it being too low.
Well I finally got around to upgrading my exhaust system and took a few pics. This thing is nuts! It looks sooo silly! It has a DEEP tone... not buzzy on my car... I'm running a 2.5" Carsound cat (Yes, I had to modifiy the exhaust for my application). I can stand it on short trips... it's not bad really. It is loud, but farting around town is fun. On long trips, the silencer helps big-time. At idle, it sounds like a V8, I **** you not.
When I got it, the system hooked directly to the header....... no place for a cat, no place for a 2nd O2 sensor. Mine also came with a smaller diameter "downpipe" looking piece for the D-series. This small piece hooks via the doughnut gasket to a BOTTLENECK of a flange!!....... I still can't believe that piece is on an exhaust like this. What I did was cut about 17" off of the end, expanded it to 2.5" at a shop, and welded the 2.5" triangle flange on it. Now I can use my testpipe (raceday) or my cat (inspection) whenever I want.... and it got rid of that bottleneck flange.
Fitment is excellent otherwise. It barely touches my CTR lip.
On to the pics!
... And a pic of the rest incase you were curious.

Re: Installed pics: RS*R EX-Mag GTII on an EK (D50boy)
Actually, I've gone over some pretty large speedbumps and haven't scraped it at all. The guy I bought it from had his car DUMPED. The scrapes on the bottom arent bad. I'm sure if there were a carcass or something that I had to track over, yea it would hit it. I'm suprised.

Nice setup for the track. But I really would not get it for a daily driv3r. Especially in South Cali where the pot holes sucks big time.

Re: (turbo_b16_ex)
yeah, i bought and exhuast and they shipped me the coupe model and they were going to charge me shipping back to them and restocking fee it was bullshiiitt.
so my friend and i cut and fabricated it to fit my hatch, it turned out fine. sounds deep (2.5") but lately its been hitting up against something on my body i cant figure out what it is......... its not the control arm...
but if you fabricate the exhaust make sure you do it carefully!!!!

Re: (eg4usdm)
When I installed it, it hugged the gas tank more. Just all the driving has made the only bend twist down and hang so low. It's a slip together that slipped. I just need to get under, give it a twist and really tighten that clamp.

your joking right?
This is one of the best exhuasts for a hatch. your either sarcastic, or you've never heard an RS*R

Yeah, EX-MAG.
This is the GT-II, just another fart cannon in a sea of fart cannons.
