Congrats on the purchase.

I get my wheels from Ravspec.com who is a vendor here plenty for Rcf setup

I just ordered my Apexi exhaust from them too.

Can't go wrong with adding more sound to the fairly tame OEM exhaust note. Intake not sure if it's worth it to be honest but that Takeda is making me rethink it. I've done a res-delete and happy with the added volume and sound quality - not sure about any added hp though.

BTW, congrats on your new RC F and welcome to the forum!

the only problem i have with their exhaust is that they do not use Mandrel bends. They crush bends which add exhaust turbulence . This impedes flow and causes extra sounds like the cackle you hear in the video.
