Default Just installed the RSS X-Pipe.

I'll throw some pics up in a bit. I just wanted to say that I think it's a bit loud for the street. I'm going to give it some time but it may have to come back off for something different.

Yes, give it some time.

I used to run mine in regular mode on street, not sport, thinking it was too loud.

Now I have it unplugged, loud all the time. True, I infrequently drive it on the street, but when I do, sounds just fine to me

interesting, i would have thought it to be perfect. The rss is only the final muffler bypass. Some are using the sharkwerks track pipe and saying it's not too loud on street. I think its all how you drive it really.

Although i see very mixed reviews on exhausts, Most do not say it's too loud. I have noticed people saying it's quiet or just right. This is the first time ive heard anyone say its too loud, I guess it just depends how you hot you like your porridge (little red ridinghood story)

here is quick video of both the RSS and Sharkwerks bypass.

I don't think either of them are too loud for the street.

I believe it goes:
1 - RSS
2 - GMG
3 - Sharkwerks

I think you are correct. I slowed it down and It looks to have the side intake on the rear quarter behind the drivers door. Also it is really quiet like turbos often are

Might well be. I assumed it was my friend with a gray GT3...and tried to rationalize the sound (muffled by car 1 Etc...).

Both were great flybys vids, Thanks so much for posting these. Very much a treat to listen to these cars sing their song and with the after thoughts of RSS, SW & GMG final bypass systems It only adds to the excitement. I really enjoy hearing all of them. It seems from the first vid that RSS has the best sound but I would also like to give a round of golf claps to Sharkwerks as they have that great burbly rumble aswell.

Thanks for posting these videos
