I'd hate to type any review of it, using my cell once its installed and mounted. It most definitely has nothing to do with being a Marine (With a capital M) Is that a sufficient explanation for you sir?
Yup curiosity satiated. I was hoping there was a hidden military reference/meaning is all.

To Be Continued..........
Congrats. You made the best choice. I am sure you will love it. I think it has the best sound this side of the Novel exhaust. Will you make some videos of your Armytrix?

What was I thinking? YOU (And of course Josh from Meraki) were the ones who first got me interested in their system!!! IMO only, the Borla systems were just way too loud for my taste, and with your video assist I was able to narrow things down between this and the Tanabe. Forgive my oversight Rolla!

And yes, I'll do videos. Actually tried a few yesterday w my windshield mounted GoPro. Unsure how all these other folks do it, but mine really didnt pick up good sound? At least it picked up the RPM Shift Beeps though! Lastly, what I'd actually like to do is find a local Dyno Shop and run my car thru NOW and then again AFTER the new system is installed.
Any idea what Stock RCFs are putting out w RWHP?

It is all good.

So you have it installed already or you were running some tests on your camera? Yeah, it would be good to see a video of 1st and 2nd gear run all the way through the rpm band to redline. Stock RCFs dyno between 380 - 395 whp. A few dynos showed close to 400 whp, but average is mostly between 380 - 395 whp SAE corrected. Make sure you dyno does an SAE correction so that the numbers are "normalized". You can do a before and after to exactly measure how much you gained in your particular scenario..

You live here in NOVA? .Everyone always thinks it means Nova Scotia. Went there one Sat at 0530 and was blown away that not even an hour later the place was packed beyond belief! My RCF was the ONLY one there, until I met someone w a silver one right before I left. Didnt even see his car. Are you him??

Just washed it today and used the Master Blaster Revolution for the 1st time- wow what a piece of gear that thing is! Unbelievable!
Also, just used the Meguiars Ultimate Wheel Cleaner for first time and was amazed at how awesome this stuff cleans the ENTIRE wheel (barrel behind, and calipers) without scrubbing it with a thing too. Definitely gonna give a review (with pics) of this stuff on my AutoGeek Forum!

Default Staggered Tips?

Was recently asked if the Blued Tips on the Armytrix Exhaust I just ordered were "Staggered" and this was what I received as a reply to that question. Are these "Staggered Tips?"



EDIT: DAYUM, guys Im sorry as hell about the size of this photo!! It was just a Screen Capture on Cell.
I'll be taking this down by end of day for sure! - Apologies!

"To Stagger, or not to Stagger!"

Nope, the staggered tips means one is bigger than the other. Those are the smaller ones which fits without any modification. The inner tip will be the big one, and the outer tips will be a bit smaller in a staggered setup for Armytrix.

Yea, he's mistaken and probably thinking they are staggered as one is higher than the other tip. But look at it like this, our RCF tire setup is staggered. Meaning the rear is wider than the front.

Exclamation And it Continues!

The Box arrived today folks!

Have not opened it yet to check on my Tips, because I'm not entirely sure how I'm getting it over to my friends shop who's doing the install. Rest assured I'll get you the big answer to our question Zippy!

Congrats. Looking forward to seeing some install details and the end result videos. Does the Armytrix require running wires to the valves?

Thanks Rolla!!

This time, I absolutely must remember to do a full "Unboxing, Laid Out, Removal, Mounting, Wiring and First Start video & Photo Op so that I not only have record of this all - but also to help others down the road when it comes to this system. I know I went crazy trying to locate every piece of info I could on it before deciding to go this route. With my TBI I learn best by both "Step-By-Step" type education, AND ALSO thru the "Visual" type senses = Images!

As stated, now I just need to nail my buddy down on a day & time to do all of this!

OH!! Here is the Wiring Diagram that you asked about too Rolla.
