I'm going to be building a 2.25" mid pipe soon and see how this sounds with the factory exhaust and pcd and j pipe.

The factory mid pipe is restrictive !

I thought the stock piping IS 2.25"? Did you see my set-up a few posts up? I opted to go 2.5" front to back.

Just finished my 05 RL the other day. Countless hours putting the HFPC and custom XLR8 exhaust on. Take off wouldve been faster if I didn't have an extra 600lb of personnel in the car lol. but here is a sound clip. Sitting on some Vossen CV1 20x9 all around

Every aftermarket exhaust posted here I like for different reasons. I really appreciate those that took the time to post this, because it saves me the exhausting time researching for aftermarket RL stuff that doesn't exist. . . no pun intended btw. I have a very cheap shop nearby that does a lot of custom work, just hope they can understand me, pictures may be needed :P

It was made for the lip. I'm boxing up my 5Zigen to ship to Stevie Ray. This site has come through for me countless times in the 10 years I've been a member!

Finally got the 5Zigen & the Mugen swapped out with MSW 6SP (Matt). Took a while and freight wasn't exactly cheap but it was a trade that was mutually beneficial for both parties:









Love, love love the 5Zigen. Fits the OEM rear lip nicely and has a nice throaty growl. Best mod ever for this car. Thanks to jose3031 for selling it to Matt so I could eventually get my hands on it!

I don't think I'd go THAT far but it is worth having. I waited over a year to find mine. Keep an eye on here, eBay & Yahoo! Japan and maybe one will turn up. Expect to pay a pretty penny for it though. Good luck---

You'll have to upload it to YouTube or a similar hosting site.
