I started ordering the parts to go through the head on the '94- cam, valves, etc. The police around here are *****- they write a LOT of tickets for cat-back systems. I was looking at the RSR EX-MAG cat-back systems.

The company claims their system to be MUCH quieter than most cat-backs on the market, unpolished 304 SS to not bait police (same materials as "popular" systems, just intentionally designed for "sleeper" application for noise/looks).

Any experience with these systems? For the '94 not cheap- around $600, but full SUS 304 build, so it should last. If they do run quieter, they would be worth the money.

I went to court a while ago r/e a speeding ticket. About 25% in the courtroom were young guys with fixit tickets for "loud" mufflers. Just one of those cities where the police are given WIDE discretion when judging "noise" (really just a way to raise revenue)

Can't beat the system here, need to stay with a reasonably quiet system that doesn't advertise "write me up" with a mirror finish torpedo tip. Very serious here- install a "loud" system and eat the cost when you tear it out on a fixit ticket.

Also, decided to go with a DC 4-2-1 header (ceramic). If this header is installed with a quiet cat-back system, how will it be for "noise"?

For comparison, I currently am running a "60" Flowmaster on the original pipes. Not the quietest of scavenger mufflers, but so far the police have left me alone. Maybe because I run a smaller tip, not a large/bright one the cops zero in on, and the Flowmasters, although not quiet, runs at a deeper pitch, not the type higher pitch you can hear for 2 blocks.

Input for the RSR systems and the 4-2-1 header with a quieter cat-back appreciated. If not, input for the 4-2-1 header with another cat-back that will keep the whole system reasonable would be appreciated. thanks- Wrenchy

 

I've had the RSR on my car for 7 years now without any noise problems. When you first install it, it sounds just like stock. After a few years it may get just a bit louder, but still way lower than your avg exhaust. Lets just say I can still hear my radio at a low volume with the exhaust.

RSR EX-MAG is a badass exhaust.

A few of my friends have had it in the past, top quality and excellent sound.

 

I'm currently running the RS*R on my car and its really quiet. I love the look and the sound. If you can fine one def. buy one.

 

I bought the RSR ExMag because I was tired of getting pulled over for "illegal exhaust" with my Greddy SP. I've had the RSR for 3 years now with no problems from the cops.

 

Good Thread! I just bought one so I am looking forward to it!

 

I went with the A'pexi WS2......i think its one of those pick your poisons deals.

both are baller......but i dont think the Exmag has clearance issues like my A'pexi does.

 

My clearance is good and my car is moderatly lowered. I drive a whole lot on the freeway and it's def. a great kit next to the old school greddy and it's a great sub for a touring medallion from tanabe. I got mine for $150 brand new... I don't mind that it's polished, it looks great! I'm please with the amont of noise...next to stock.

I just got my RSR Ex-mag installed and wow... My previous exhaust was a custom exhaust that had a huge tip 4" or so with 2.5" piping and it was fairly loud. I got the RS-R Ex-mag installed (got it for $150 brand new in box ) and when the installer turned on the car I was looking at the other end of the muffler shop thinking someone else car was turned on because it was super quiet. I then drove it and wow... I mean it's quiet but you can still tell there's good air flow going through it because it's just awesome. Definitely a from me. I'm a Top 100 reviewer by the way on epinions.com.

 

if they made them for our cars the Apex'i Noir systems would be great.

Never heard of that particular system. How is it?

Hmm, interesting, is it black at the same areas as the RS*R? Or is it complete powder coated black? Sounds awesome haha.
