Wanted to know if anyone has a sound clip of the Raceland catback on their tC or if they know how it sounds? Looking to buy one but wanted to hear it first I searched on You Tube but only found one clip. Any advice would be helpful.

I just received mine in the mail. Quality is awesome compared to the Megan Driftspec I had before. If I can just figure out how to remove the silencer, I will install it tomorrow.

alright sounds good if you can please post a sound clip it seems like a really good price for a catback so i just wanted to make sure it sounded good before i buy it.

i second that,my opion looks pretty good,it sounds good to.... mines doesnt sound anything like a honda....it does sound different on the 07+ then it does on the 05-06 models

Sound and quality are two different things. The Drift Spec is loud and the quality was garbage. It fit aweful too, although I think the midpipe was later revised to fit better. It's not worth the $300 for sure.

I ordered a BBP exhaust before the Raceland but didn't even think of installing it as it was built like pure crap. I couldn't beleive how it went down to almost 2" at the welds and through the muffler. Looked like it was assembled by a Chinese retard. I sold it asap.

The Raceland is good quality. The welds are awesome and appear to be stainless unlike most ebay exhausts. The flanges also appear to be stainless. I can't wait to put it on although I cannot get the darn silencer out. I think I may need to take a torch to it.

I've read just take a pliers and pry that son btch outta there. The driftspec I saw absolutely fit like crap and just looked terrible.

jayydm · 05-30-2010, 09:10 PM

Ok so the drift spec was my second option but thats out now. As for the silencer i always hated how they looked so i just took a pliers or screwdriver and pried them out.

my06tc · 05-31-2010, 12:05 PM

drift spec aint garbage,the quality might not be that good but it sounds good....my drift spec fit pefectly no issues at all,it does have a bit of and angle to it but looks good in my opion,which i guess that what it boils down too is opions,i would perosnally get the raceland one also...

Installed the Raceland Exhaust last night. Very easy to install and the quality is on par with Greddy or HKS. I can't imagine how they make money on this thing. The fit is spot on and the sound is much better than the drift spec. It's a bit quiter and much less raspy sounding. I do have a turbo on the car so it may be raspy without.

For $163 shipped, this is one hell of a deal!

ScionSnowman · 06-01-2010, 12:37 AM

Awesome good to hear. Only problem is this makes it harder for me to sell my HKS lol.

Superman05 · 06-01-2010, 12:53 AM

I love my Raceland exhaust!

its not as loud cause of the turbo.....i like the raceland exhaust but it just looks to plain sitting in the back there only my opion,but im sure its well worth it

I'm surprised that people are saying that the sound is good. The quality and fitment were great, the sound is another story. This thing is louder than hell and ricey. At 4000 revs there is a horrible vibration that rattles the interior. I actually had to remove it cause it was so loud and embarassing.

I have an AR25 that I hope will tone down the sound and help with rasp. If that doesn't fix the problem then I'll be installing a quieter muffler.

Overall I have a mixed feeling about this system, on one hand its good value for money on the other hand it requires modification to make it liveable...
