2.5"/3" exhaust and RNR users

[sweet97]

I know that nearly all say that a 3" system is best for a 50 trim that I run. Did a search. Would like to know of any dyno work that confirms that. RNR is having a sale with the 3" at $499. wih muffler+shipping. Now would be a good time price wise if it will make a large enough difference. Comparison is the question with a 50 trim, 2.5" against 3". Thanks, Mark

I don't have any dyno sheets or anything to prove it, but I'm confident that a 3" will yield more power over a 2.5"

Anyways I really just wrote to inform of the RNR system. It took me about 3 weeks to get my system about 6 months ago. RNR is a small operation and people usually wait a month or two before seeing products, so if you can wait I would go for it. I installed my system today and it was a very tight fit. The biggest problem I had was bolting the DP to the stock o2 housing...the nuts don't get much clearance. The system looks good (considering I don't like 5" tips, it looks pretty good) and the sound is good. I should add that I put on a 3" magneflow cat so it helped the sound out. It's loud but throaty with no buzzing. Worth the month IMO.

Edit: You have a 1g so maybe the system will have better clearance.

3" would help significantly...faster the gases gets out the better

I have a turboback 3" stainless setup from RNR. Beautiful exhaust system, easy to install, made big difference in performance gains (no dyno data to prove, but trust me you'll feel it )

I would get the RNR again in a heartbeat. BY FAR the best deal out there, excellent build quility as well. If you talk to Ryan and stay on top of your order you can get it a lot faster. I got mine in two weeks

Hope that helps!

Thanks guys. RNR says they are a little slow and thus the sale. I have a couple months before the car goes back on the road. I suppose I could sell the 2.5" ss I have from Buschur and the loss would equal the sale difference. Mark

Good decision on the 3". However if you are planning on keeping your car for a while get the SS. Note that the $499 setup is for aluminized steel. It will eventually rust. Also be aware of your emissions guildlines. It is extra to have a cat added to the set up.

Since the tranny died a couple months after I bought the car and cost me $3000. to replace I am keeping it! Who would buy it for 1/2 of what I have in it!! . It's just the extra cash. I had thought out the car and my mods carefully and had them met with the EVO III i had. The darn HP bug bit me and I had thought I killed it. Now I have the 50 trim and 3" makes more sense.
Yeah $100. more for an SS exhaust. The car is stored winters as I am in central New York. The car however is a great example of a 1G AWD Talon. Amazing paint and interior, very well taken care of. I also have to talk to RNR and see if their system has a "test" pipe added that can be changed out fr the converter like the Buschur system. Any of you RNR users can answer that, is there a place that will easily accomodate the cat?
Lastly when I was looking for a muffler to quiet my ride the RNR was touted to be one of the nicest sounding and somewhat quietest mufflers out there. What about that? Mark

If anything you will spool alot faster.

Well here are a few things to help you out:

#1 The system is LOUD, def not quiet, not ricey, not retarded, but deep and throaty, sounds awesome IMO

#2 I would def get the SS option, for 100 bucks it was so worth it (I did it on mine)

#3 The exhaust is a slip fit system, you jsut buy some 3" clamps (2 to be exact) to make sure it doesnt come apart. I would assume that the hiflow cat they sell is a slip fit as well and you would only need to add one more clamp to make it work.

Hope that helps!

Does it have a short section for the cat? My Buschur has a short section that woud be removed for the cat.The Buschur also has flanges which is nice. loud must be the way I have to run. maybe a resonator in place of the cat? Mark

Hey Mark,

If your interested in quiet, check this out: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=164893

Probably could do the same thing to the RNR exhaust.

Thanks Gene. Does anyne know the place with the best price on the Thermal system? I was actually thinking along his line with a Car Chemistry muffler from Summit Racing. It's 3" in diameter nd 12" long. I could have flanges welded on and use it in place of my test pipe. Mark.
PS: There is all negative feedback on RNR from customer service to missing arts. What's up with that? Then I looked at Buschur and Don't see a turbo back 3" for my '93AWD, but maybe they never had a turbo back and sold me a kit with the parts I needed. Iwill check the receipt.
