Default What do you think about this RCF Exhaust


I am still waiting for my RCF to come in that I ordered in February. Just wanted to get some opinions on exhaust upgrades. So far this is the best that I have found any comments, or suggestions?

I loved it right up until the 1:01 mark and then the asymmetrical flow threw me off and I never recovered from it through the rest of the video. It's there but not quite perfect enough to sign off. Rewound a few times and it's still there. Maybe it's that particular angle.

Love it from the bottom.

No opinion on sound as I watched it on mute.

Question

Does a muffler & resonator delete qualify as an exhaust upgrade ??

Just wondering on opinions of terminology...

I do like the none crushed tubing used..

2 pipes and 2 tips, should be about 2-400$ at any muffler shop. This does not even have a muffler.

You beat me to it. I was going to post that video here he also has one for the RC350. The problem is that it is only an upgrade in sound. There is no design to it at all its just a pipe. I'm almost certain that it would actually cause a decrease in performance but this is common place for these types of muffler shops who usually just service Mustangs and Camaros.

Funny note this exhaust makes the RC-F sound exactly like what my father's Mustang Cobra sounded like when he brought it home in 1994.

I really like this one as well but if memory serves me this exhaust is 10 to 15 grand. I'd rather have the GTHAUS exhaust for about 5k when its ready. I'm also very anxious to see what ARK is working on as I had one of their GRIP exhaust systems on a infiniti G37 for a while and it was easily the best sounding machine I have ever heard.

you will see a performance increase with deleting mufflers and resonator. Just not as much as deleting cats.

Yeah it's like 12k with the headers and 6.9k without the headers.

Simple resonator delete $100.
Muffles intact/stock
Start up sounds better. Up to 2000 RPM sounds better.
You can hear the wash out between 2-5000RPM...zero difference. 6-7000 RPM volume seems to change.

Will probably add the Magnaflow mufflers when released.
