Anyone for a triple?

I know it seems like a troll post but that kinda bothered me. Richie is a respected vendor on here. There was no need for that.

How much does this exhaust weigh in comparison to stock Type-S? I'd really like to see some custom tip options.

have you ever built an exhaust before? There are a lot of variables that go into making quality products. Expecially when they are moving into a bigger shop and trying to get everything more streamlined. That is just part of any expanding business. Richie makes awesome products and will stay in good standing as far as im concerned. If youre not happy then GTFO and stop cluttering up this thread with your trash!

The man's a vendor and runs his operation here just fine. Who are we to say anything?

He's always come through and everyone has always been exceedingly pleased both in his products and his professionalism.

If you don't have something information to say then don't say anything at all.

Kind of like Spikes Tactical with AR-15 back orders. "We will not give any kind of promise or expected time of delivery. When they are finished they will be delivered. We value our customers and would rather have them wait then to get excited of being done on said time and not be able to deliver. Thank you for your business.

You can read full page here: http://www.spikestactical.com/new/z/ourcustomers.jpg

But pretty sure it kinda applies here and Richies exhaust is prolly gonna be worth the wait. I know I love the hell out of the v1 I have.

Yes....when i did my true duals....they were the same weight as compared to stock as well....again i didnt measure them....

what i meant is, since he is doing the diet and if he is looking for "saving weight" like Inaccurate did with his exhaust, that wont happen....

ya know what i mean ?

I would like to take a minute to thank all our customers and supporters for standing by us while develop this product. To RV6 this exhaust is the future. The techniques and processes developed while we manufacture this true dual exhaust will be used on other vehicles. This could only be done with such an understanding and supportive community. We are working as fast possible to complete this project without any delays; this exhaust is currently our main focus.

Here are some pictures of our perfected merged collector. We feel that this is the most complex part of the project. After a week or so of developing cutting and welding fixtures we are now able to make one of these in less than an hour while holding a tolerance of +/- 0.01” which is excellent for a welded part. This was done to allow for easy swapping from a 2.5” collector to a 3.0” collector.

More updates to come soon.



Fully purged and penetrated welds.

Excellent product, Richie...
I'm curious about the base tips you had mentioned in the original post. The idea of having to buy a type s lip (when I really don't want the type s look) is kinda daunting.
Plus, I wish there was some sort of really beefy version of our 04-06 base exhaust tips that fit the lines of the car and bumper opening as well as the oem tip.

Also, I'd like to see if rasp from the V3 jpipe and PCD's/HFPC (I got rasp from just the jpipe) will get eliminated.

I'm sure you have bigger fish to fry right now!

EAC, consider this a warning. If you have a problem, you can take it up with Rich personally.

Obviously, you are one of the only persons with an issue in regards to RV6.

This can be handled via PM.

Another outbreak and you'll be sunning by the pool....alone.

I'd rather a wait for a well engineered product than get a sub-par product quickly. Take your time Richie. We'll be here when it's finished.
