New JDM RS*R Exhausts

I don't believe they're offered here in the US yet but if you can get a hookup with someone in Japan you might be able to acquire one of these new exhaust systems from RS*R. I have the original ExMag and I absolutely love it.

Some pics of the new exhausts:

I hear the RSR GT2 exhaust is pretty good, but i know that is offered here in america, but I dont know about those other ones...For my next car I want RSR, I was considering the EXMAG, how does it sound? I hear it's not too loud, but I've never heard it.

What kind of car are you going to get? The ExMag sounds great. In low RPMs it has a strange rumble / vibration to it, this happens between 1000-1500 RPMs. Above that the noise seems to just drop off completely. Above 3000, my engine is making more noise with the intake than the exhaust. The small amount of noise it does make is kind of odd, because it isn't really *that* much of a noise as it is a vibration. An example is when I'm standing by the exhaust while the car is idling, it sounds more like when you try to blow air through a large tube.... almost like I'm not producing enough exhaust to go through such a large pipe. When it comes to revving your engine though, don't expect for it to sound much different than stock =P I used to have a loud ass exhaust and when I'd rev my engine, you knew I had done something to my car. Now, nothing. I love it =) And I can drive down the freeway and my car is as quiet as any out there.

The other strange thing about the ExMag is the size, because it is significantly large. In fact, the diameter of the tip was the same size as my old Ractive can, and the muffler itself is gigantic. Once I got it on my car though, it didn't seem as big and actually fit it pretty well. I wouldn't mind if it were a bit smaller, but now that I compare it to stock tail-pipes, damn, those things are small as hell! I think depending on what model of car you have, the exhaust tip will be smaller. I've seen pics of Civics with the ExMag and it seems to fit perfectly in the hole in the rear bumper. Too bad the Accord doesn't have one =( Would look much better.

I've heard the ExMag GT2 is loud though, but can't speak from experience =) I think the ExMag-V looks pretty tight, and RS*R has a more extensive lineup of exhausts but I didn't post the others mostly because some are made exclusively for SUVs or mini-vans (yep!).

There's a pic of it on my car =)

Make sure to take care of the tip! It looks great when it is clean and sparkling, but seems to collect dust pretty easily =/

wow looks nice RSR makes some good ass exhuasts i'll tell you that much! I might have to pick one up for my next project car

i plan on getting a 92-95 hatch...I just dont know if I want it to be a sleeper or not, if the RSR EXMAG isnt too loud, i'll probably go with that..I currently have a 2000 GSR W/Apex N1-Testpipe, so it's pretty damn loud, I want something different now. A friend of mine has a hatch, w/apex n1, but stock cat. and it sounds not too loud, but it's smooth, so I think what cat you have contributes to how loud the exhaust will be..But I dont really care for the testpipe, I think w/my next car, i'll have a hi-flow cat, running to RSR EXMAG, and when I go to the track, hook on the Testpipe for the extra 1 or 2 hp. But yeah, it looks nice, I actually saw the rsr like that on a couple of cars at this shop i go to, and it looks nice, but it is bigger than you'd expect, but I never heard it. I guess I wouldn't have to hear it, since it sounds close to stock.

The ExMag really is more quiet than it is loud =P In fact, I wouldn't even use loud to describe it in even the smallest sense... except in the non-affirmative. I have a stock cat on there, so that might contribute to it, but I doubt even with a straight pipe or high flow cat it would be much louder. It hums at idle, that's a good description of the sound it makes. The price is a bit high, but last I checked wasn't too much more than an Apex'i or a Greddy. If you really want to spend money, go for the Mugen twin-canister, but I've heard it requires that body work be done to fit it in there.

I ordered my EXmag

CVTodd1 · #9 04-23-2004, 06:59 PM

Is there a substantial hp difference between the EXMAG, and the GT2 exhaust? I know GT2 uses piping with less bends in it, to allow more direct flow, but it's much louder than the EXMAG. It would be nice if the hp was the same, because I don't really want a loud exhaust for my next car.

anybody here hear anything real good about tanabe, I hear they're pretty legit, but how would you compare them to rs*r as an overall product?

knorwj · #11 04-23-2004, 11:08 PM

heres a pic of the exmag on a 2nd gen integra gs-r. It sounds great so quiet and i definitely feel more power in the midrange at least. hope every one else enjoys at as much as i do when they get theirs ( which i recomend they do as soon as possible)

CVTodd1 · #12 04-23-2004, 11:11 PM

The RSR looks clean on the 93...I hear a lot of good things about tanabe, but I'm not too sure how they compair with RSR. You can go to www.carreview.com/ They have review's on all sorts of different exhaust's and tanabe as well.

AcesHigh · #13 04-24-2004, 11:24 PM

From what I know, the EXmag is the quietest system that gives the most horsepower. The Apexi WS is quiet, but its hp gains are not as great. The RSR GTII has good gains, but is not quiet.

jajimo · #14 04-26-2004, 07:51 PM

I thought I'd throw up some better pics of the RS*R on the Accord now that I've fixed the emblems and redded out the tails.

I wouldn't say there is a "substantial" HP difference, because you're not receiving "substantial" HP gains with just an exhaust anyway, but if you were to say, turbo charge your car or do an all-motor build, you'd probably notice a difference.

Darchside · #15 04-28-2004, 07:23 PM

hey, how'd you red out your taillights to match so well? I was about to do the same, but I just decided to buy some jag s-type euro's instead for the tail's
