Thanks Scion Evolution and Cabe Performance parts for the RS*R exhaust I won at the SE San Diego BBQ. Those of you who could not make it, missed a awesome SE event.

Install was simple the only tools you needed was a screwdriver (for rear lip removal), ratchet with 12mm socket, factory jack (and jack stand for safety) and soap and water (to make it easier to insert in rubber hangers and to wash my hands after J) Jacked it up at factory location (see manual for lifting directions) didn’t even have to clear the tire from the ground, removed passenger side rear lip piece to avoid any scratches to the lip or exhaust tip. Put on new gasket included with exhaust kit, inserted mounting supports into rubber hangers, slipped factory exhaust clamp over the connection area snugged it up, put the rear lip back on, centered exhaust tip with a folded up rag and tightened exhaust clamp.

After lowering it down I noticed it had a very cool race look on how it was mounted. From the top the exhaust tip follows the contour of the bumper cover and lip piece, slightly angled to the right. From the back the canister and exhaust tip fill the cut out area and it has a finned removable silencer. From the side and looking through the wheel you can see the polished craftsmanship of the canister and pipe, which has an upsweep angle to it. This gave it a cool look from a distance you could see the canister hanging slightly lower than the bumper cover lip. The sound and performance is just right, haven’t tested it without the silencer yet.

Congrats!!! How does it sound? How is the tone, loud or quiet? What did you install it on, manual or auto?

 

It was installed on a 5spd xB with a K&N Intake (Thanks again James). I haven't put very many miles on it yet but the sound to me inside is moderate . However I do have "Brown Bread" (like dynamat but cost less) material covering the entire floor of the xB so I am not sure how it sounds passing by. I have noticed that I do not have a lag time on acceleration like I did when running the TRD exhaust but that could have been other factors as well. I liked the TRD sound but wanted to try the RS*R for some time now and glad I was able to winn it. :D I really like its slight unique look, I wonder if RS*R will do a cat back piece?

 

Congrats! Can't wait to see it in person
