Chris, the lights are exactly 2 lbs lighter than stock 99's which give me .5 extra horsepower

And you guys are forgetting about the RMM emblem. That must add a little too.

Synergy,
come by my place and I will try to adjust the hangars and get them to tuck up into the factory openings.

Any competent muffler shop should be able to adjust it, but if you really want it done right take it to me !



PS: NO HAMMERING, I promise !

You are right, the tips are a little too small for me, but the sound is incredible. Would you ever change out the tips?

I just don't like the idea of modifying an aftermarket exhaust WITH another aftermarket tips but if anyone does it and it looks MINT, more power to you !!

Yeah - gotta change the tips...they look kind of, "cheese." I spoke to Blair today and it seems that a simple swap out on tips should be fine w/o any sound change.....

Have you guys ever heard RMM w/o the stock resonators in???????

Hey gang - check out the new thread on "Modded RMM exhaust". I made some alterations over the weekend and am 100% satisfied now.

Your tips look good. As for me, I now have my RMM exhaust adjusted just right.
As it turns out, I did not have to ship them back to Blair after all. When I stopped by my local
Procare shop to have them remove the exhaust, the mechanic looked at it and said he could
fix it. He bent the hangers and got the exhaust tips lined up just right. When he finished, I asked
how much do I owe and he said "nothing" I would like to point out that my Lexus dealership
did the original install (1 hr @ 85) and their professional assesment was "we did the best
we could, the only way to get the exhaust to hang closer to the bumper cut out is to cut
and re-weld the hangers".

As a side note, I want to say that Blair at RMM did the right thing. He sent me a new box and
packing materials and was going to pay for all shipping fees. He's a good guy to do business with.
I wish I could say the same for my Lexus dealer but I can't.
