well, depending on how the exhaust hands in the back at the split, you might have to modify the hanger to make it hang either above the brace or below....

same with the fronts....

bmore07tls

At least it wasn't me this time

Dooooo it! U will be glad u did. I love mine! I kinda wanna take a day off work just to drive!

bb0yblizzard

i'll let you guys know when i get the exhaust. i have the whole ultra racing brace set. (front, sides, rear)

the front i had to take off because my jpipe hangs low and it contacts with the brace, causing a noticeable vibration in the front area of the cabin. it was pretty annoying once you hit about 2500rpm lol and also i was afraid it would damage the jpipe over time.

the rear brace on stock exhaust had a tight fitment also. its barely touching and you can kinda tell when you start up the car but thats about it. its not as irritating as the front in my opinion.

brianch

Hmm I guess I'll have to pass on the front and rear. I'll try out the sides


Anyways.. Here is a quick video I made today. More to come.

i had the opportunity to take bmore07tls' car out for a spin last night and all i can say is WOW. you literally couldn't ask for a better exhaust note. everything is smooth and fluent with ZERO rasp and no drone. it just sounds incredible.

he has hfpcs, v3 jpipe, and the TD exhaust for anyone wondering.

brianch

For those who have the TD. The RV6 etched aluminum clamp at the end of the exhaust : is it suppose to be horizontal to the ground? Mines is crooked and won't go straight no matter what I do.

And once you tighten the clamps once are they useless? I had to remove one and readjust but noticed it wasn't as tight the second time.

^the packet says not to over tighten that clamp.
the allen key will let you spin it ALL THE WAY!
but dont do it.

bmore07tls

Sell that xlr8!

i'm banned from the black market tho!

bmore07tls

Oh yea I forgot about that BS ban u received! Maybe I will sell my xlr8 exhaust!

SharksBreath

iTrader: (33)

^i have always loved your XLR8 quad exhaust with magnaflow resonator!

brianch

Yea no for sure I didn't overtighten. I was talking about the actual clamp being slanted as in one pipe is higher up than the other for some reason.

pics?

brianch great video man!! sounds perfect!!

Sounds really nice Brianch. In those videos its a little bit much for me, I assume thats because the high flow cats? Reason im asking is because if I do decide to get this exhaust I only have the RV6 V3 jpipe and will not be changing my cats. So mine should sound more tame than that right?
Nice video man thanks for sharing

SharksBreath

videos don't do it justice. nothing coming through your speakers will compare to how it sounds in real life...like, whatsoever.

I actually installed the HFPCs and took the car for a drive. It only made a very minor difference in loudness so I do not think its the HFPC entirely. I'll be honest it is louder than I expected but it's not as bad as you might think because I was heavy footed in that video. Regular cruising is not going to be too loud but when you get on the throttle it does open up.

I'll try to get a video of the crooked clamps later today.

I feel like Aaron climbed into my head is now, finally, typing out the reaction I had when I installed mine. Everyone just assumed yada yada, RV6 fanboy a$$licker. I have heard all the other ones, none of them touch the sound of this.

Aaron, Austin will probably buy it from you if you convince him to sell his rear base aspec and get a type s one.

Keep in mind HIS friend pricing formula
Basically, just deduct $1 from whatever you would charge your worst hated enemy.

Bri, leave the clamp alone, it won't straighten out to keep the mufflers straight. But don't worry, unless you're an ant, you'll never see it anyway. You'll strip that allen bolt too, don't ask how I know.

funny, mine is straight tho..

after installed grease-able bushings for rear sway bar, the bar comes in contact with the exhaust....I just ended up wrapping the little section of the bar to they dont rub too much....might wanna try that

As it turns out, I had the luxury of watching a 6-speed with the RV6 TD exhaust at KMS Dyno Day event this past Saturday. I stood there with the car in front of me on the dyno for 3 pulls. It sounded awesome (probably overall has the best sound of all our exhausts), for sure, but I wouldn't by any stretch put it that far above ATLP or XLR8. You get a better understanding of the sound when you can stand right in front of it on a full WOT pull through 4th gear a few times, trust me.

no offense intended, I just wouldn't overstate it too much. it does sound pretty awesome, though. I'm just not sure I'd pay an extra 400 bucks over my ATLP for such a marginal difference in sound/performance.

iTrader: (6)

Understood. Yeah, wasn't implying that the others aren't viable options. I guess it depends on what you're after and honestly, I was after the elimination of rasp in a major way. This did that for me, which is why I was ecstatic.

Weird, mine doens't hit the RSB and my bracket is definitely not straight. Justin, maybe yours was because you installed with no bumper on so you could install it straight. Or maybe I put a twist in further down the line.

zachlone

wait, Jeremy, you got RV6 TD??!! or r you talking about the Jpipe here?

brianch

here is my crooked clamp. no matter what I do it won't go straight.

BTW since I put thread locker on that allen bolt.. What do I do if I want to loosen it to adjust the exhaust? o.0

zachlone

have you tried loosening all your clamps and using a jack under that clamp to straighten it up?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Leave. It. Alone.

Justin, yours still straight after putting the bumper back on?
I swear, mine looks just like that.

Zach, yes, I've had mine for over a year now IIRC. It was a dual penetration small tipped version that fits the base opening from the first batch that another member sold me on the BM/Text. Hence everyone joking about my tiny tips and pew pew...still hoping to get with Rich on making a dedicated and beautiful unique base tip that fits our opening. :fingerscrossed:

I didnt know that! so you have a 1st batch RV6 TD base quad tip exhaust, BAMF!

Richie v6

The aluminum clamp is suppose to be horizontal. I level each one on the car before tightening the rest down. The stainless band clamps are very reusable. I've been using the same set to test 40+ exhaust. The trick is to push them all the way against the edge where the slots are cut so that it can properly compress the metal.

Just loosen everything from the mid muffler back and try again. You might have to adjust the connection between the exhaust and jpipe as well. If the whole exhaust is slanted. I know it fits properly, I test each one myself.

bmore07tls

I had same problem at first. Just loosen everything up and start readjusting it. It'll line up. Just takes patience.

iTrader: (5)

^^^ exactly what Rich said....if you were installing by tightening each both as you go, go back the loosen EVERY bolt...make sure everything is lined up properly and then start to tighten the bolts...

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

the bumper never touches the exhaust.
I think its still straight, i'll have to head home and look under

^exactly what Rich said. Quite literally...


Well, I learned something new today. Twice. That would also explain why one of my tips I struggle to keep down and the other up.

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

figured i post it again so he listens LOL

I learned this the hard way while trying to fit the 4" cai the first time around....

never tighten bolts as you go....hand tighten them, then hit em again once the fitment is right

there you go, they say 3rd time is a charm

If richie comes out with a base TD exhaust with a different type of tip id consider buying this exhaust!

i know you got only 2.25" 's

Rich, create an AWESOME base tip for us
Let me buy Aaron's exhaust and weld those on it
