VRS 3'' turbo back exaust

hey guys a while ago i got an awsome dealon a 3'' stainless steel VRS exaust. i only paid 450 for it with 600 miles on it and it looks brand new the guy threw in some other odds and ends if you will to. an a-pillar with 3 phantom gauges, turbo xs dual stage mbc, o2 sensor, ect.

I got one off the classifides for around 450.. I love the sound, I don't have a clip, but I always get compliments on the sound all the time. Great exhaust, only thing is the hangers don't have ends on them so it'd be nice if you welded your own ends on the hangers.

I have one and the sound is great. Nice and low at idle and a growl at WOT. Too bad I don't have a sound clip.

Try searching here.




Or look through the long "Post Exhaust Clips Here!" thread.






























Or you could simply throw it on and hear it for yourself... and then post a clip or two for the rest of us.

I don't know. Why don't you get a decibel meter and measure the difference.

You're saying the VRS is louder?

Yes.. Think about it.. N1 is 2 1/2 inch plus it has a resonator in the middle.. the VRS is straight through piping and 3"... Much louder than the N1, but not crazy loud.

N1 is 3" ;3 with two resonators I think at the end. At least the 1g's is. Reason is I'm deciding whether I should get the 2.5" vrs and sell this apexi lol.

My N1 was 2.5 inch and had one resonator. I like my VRS way way more, I'd suggest it. Try grabbing one off the classifides, thats what i did and I got the whole turbo back for 400 bucks new.

These exhausts sounds really nice. with a real nice roar sound. I'm definitely getting the 3 inch vrs exhaust.
Wondering if anybody knew if a Catalytic Converter heat shield would fit around a 3 inch test pipe, if anybody happened to know this. j/w btw.
