[David63]

Thanks local garage being lazy I think

 

[RCZIain]

No it doesn't.
I fitted an aftermarket one to mine.

 

[David63]

I’ve heard that before on here, and no, it doesn’t have to be removed.

 

[David63]

I think it’s just lazy job trying to rip people off they don’t know what they doing lol

No noooo chief, i've done it recently, no such, but it takes a bit of skill to move around it, i was also told that by about 4 garages till i found a guy who said he can do it, and it was cheap at that. And mind you the other places where going to charge me an arm and leg.

i used an original one i bought from a scrap yard from a crashed rcz, for about $70 or so dollars for the entire exhaut, then retrofitted it to have a quad system, ill send you a sketch of more or less what i did, and everything cost me less that $150 if i recall

Bam,lol, make sure they cut into halfway in when they connect, at an angle so 1 half goes into the new part and the other into the old system, ul notice a slight improvement in the bass and volume, if its fitted without deleting anything from the normal exhaust, but if u take away the middle past, resonator, gets a bit loud, but i u like that then by all means, cheapest way to get the results

 

[Troiy]

Oh, also heat wrap the parts that pass by the petrol tank as a precaution, u never know.

 

[Troiy]

And lastly get a black spray can cause the spare wheel section is silver, so once u cut the plastic, ul be able to see it in the background even when you have exhausts fitted, so to make it look identical to the factory side, just spray it black(the spare wheel holder, not exhaust). Its a small detail but makes all the difference in the final product, after all, needs to look like the car came like that

 

[David63]

Thanks for your helpful advice

That's the same as the one on mine fitted by Tony Banks in Leeds & no "cutting n ripping" he built it around the spare wheel well did a good job no hassle

 

[Troiy]

This is how mine looks,also did a custom rim widening on the factory to 10.5 and fitted 285 tires,works magic,but they still look small and since there is still room left am gonna go wider,either 295 or 305,and later make the rear one into a 20 inch

 

[Troiy]

Oh and fitted the RCZ R factory springs to lower it plus 12mm custom spacers at the back

Looking good
