They split a bit ago but, if you look at BOTH cannisters on their exhausts, the cannisters are the SAME just different badging, as well as the rebadged Skunk2 setup. Same stuff, the R*SR is just different piping with less angles and slip fittings and whatnot (more race styled and definitely louder.) I checked them all out last season FOR A CHEAP 60mm setup as opposed to the ever popular Apexi N1 that Everyone and their mother's uncle has.

But when I was researching, the only one available at the time for the R was the Skunk2, so that's what I got. And for the cheap price I got it for $449. I am reasonably pleased. It does what I want, sounds better than the Apexi N1 IMO and has good build quality.

Get whats cheapest.

What is Invidia RS-R?
Invidia was a brand name that was offered by RS-R Japan around 1994. However, RS-R ceased offering the Invidia exhaust line by 1996. The Invidia brand name was later obtained by another independent company with no relation to RS-R Japan.

We would like to make it absolutely clear that RS-R Japan does not manufacture Invidia exhaust systems and RS-R USA does not distribute Invidia products.

Only RS-R products that come from RS-R USA are actually designed and manufactured at our headquarters in Japan. Make no mistake, authentic RS-R engineered products are only available through RS-R USA and authorized RS-R dealers.

Dude, i listened to the Invidia exhuast system on an S2000, and i swear it sounds like a frigen mini supra, lol...i assume the ITR would sound the same with that exhaust system too since they have similar tones.

I also have the same one Anton has, Skunk2 N1 (for a 2000 SI). Great system. Nice fully polished stainless with a really deep tone. I like it better than my huge APEXi N1 that I previously had on there.
