Well, since I had such a hard time finding pics or the Exmag system on a CRX, I figured I'd snap some pics while I installed mine. It arrived in a big *** box, and I quickly lined up all the pieces to see what it would look like





The tip looked a little big, but I figured it would look better on the car. I painted the axle back part flat black, so it would be nice and low key. It is a little splotchy because it was the first coat, I went over it again to fix that



After that, I took off the stock 1.5" exhaust. It really is 1.5", I measured it. Comparing it to the 60mm pipe was quite a difference





For the time being, I'm using a gutted stock cat because its free. I plan on getting a cat sometime soon so it quiets it down a little and doesnt smell like *** every time I get out of the car. Now, for some on car pics





As expected the tip looks perfect, right under my key marks. I really like how the flat black axle back looks too. Questions\comments are welcome.

Edit: I almost forgot to add how it sounds, doh. It has a nice rumble when you fire the car up, and its pretty quiet untill you step on it. Do not mistake it for a stock sounding exhaust, though. It is audible when accelerating, but not so much when cruising (even at 3k on the highway). At WOT, it gets pretty loud, but its a low tone, and no rasp. Although the sound does not have the defintion of a boxter engine, it still sounds good for a 1.6 liter.

Edit 2: Sound clip can be found here: http://www.supload.com/sound_c...4.wav . If it goes down and you want to hear it, send me a PM and I'll email it to you. It opens with Windows Media Player. The mic is maxing out, so it does not actually have that distortion. Its smooth sounding all across the rev band.

Looks comparable to the Apexi WS2. Both are very nice exhausts.

My friend (CRXToad) has the WSII. Its nice, but the tip is GIANT (I can fit my foot in the tip). I bought the RSR because I heard questionable comments about the WSII, no complaints whatsoever about the RSR. I figured for like $70ish more (the WSII is 500 shipped from a sponser here) I could get something foolproof.

 

that exhaust looks great on the crx, now get an exhaust clip

 

i think i'm going to get the RS*R judging by the crx cat back exhaust pole it seems to be the winner.

Done. At the bottom of the first post.

 

When did RS*R stop jet coating their exhaust? I had one on my S13 that saw three Maine winters that didnt have a speck of rust on it when I sold it.

 

Whats size resonator do you have, were did you get the pipeing from?

 

i'm pretty sure the rsr comes in a black coating, or am i wrong ?

It used to, but not anymore. From my understanding, it was to prevent rusting. The new version (which is what I have) does not have a finish because the pipe is made out of higher quaility stainless steel.

 

daddy likey!

 

looks good but damm it sounds kinda too loud.

 

Looks good Ninja.

 

One reason that I did not go with RS*R when I bought my exhaust was that they used to be mild steel instead of stainless. I'm glad they've put together such a nice stainless exhaust.

This new one looks really nice, and I even like the tip. (I sawed off the tip on my Greddy SP2 and replaced it with a 2.5" stainless turndown.)

 

it sounds loud because of the gutted cat, ive heard them with a cat on there and it sounds beautiful, not one bit of rasp.
