Default Taking Matters Into My own Hands

Apparently there isn't much aftermarket products for the GS F yet so now we get creative. Invidia Exhaust for RC F modded and tailered for the GS F! Mufflers and most of the pipes high gloss black... to Be Continued...

Just came back to review this thread, and noticed that the bends are crush and not mandrel. The crush bend will cause restriction.

Are you referring to the stock exhaust or the Invidia?

^^^^^Neither, both are mandrel bent. I'm referring to the modification (added piping) made to the Invidia, that has crush bends.

See attached for section of the exhaust that is crush bent.

Nice catch, that would indeed cause some restrictions.

Have an opportunity to buy this exhaust locally. OP hasn't been on in a few years, can anyone guess what was done to make this exhaust fit the GSF? I see some pipe added but the axleback looks to be welded on.

Anyone besides op try this?
