The RSB was about one of the easiest installs I have done. Everybody had me scared about the y-pipe, not fitting, not being able to get bolts off, and that it was a really hard install. I thought that it was an extremely easy install. There was one bolt on the cat that was troubling, but the impact wrench handled it fine. These two mods are the best I have ever done. The body roll is gone. The engine pulls very hard. My only complaint is that my beautiful sounding muffler is now very loud. The droning from 1500-2000 is awful. I hope I can live with it. I thought that I had read that a y-pipe didn't increase the sound very much? The exhaust note is really deep, but loud. I have a factory b-pipe and resonator.

 

WoW, wonder how loud it be with a custom b-pipe, no resonator and a magnaflow? Is it a good loud or an annoying loud?

 

---------------------------------
IMHO it gets to be annoying after a while. I've had my set up for about eight months and just recently went back to my stock muffler. My B pipe has a resonator, so you can imagine what it will sound like without one. Some people may like it like that though.
My car "feels" just as quick with the stock muffler and I'm taking it back to the track soon to verify that point.

I actually ran a little better et and mph with my stock muffler than with my HKS muffler. My mods at the time were an intake, y-pipe, and b-pipe. The et and trap speed is in my sig.
