Ight thanks for the tips guys. Cant wait to put it on

This exhaust setup is LOUD and RASPY!

Overall the install was very easy and fitment was perfect....+1 for Raceland on fitment of all their products. I am very satisfied with my purchase because of the quality, fitment and price but I am going to have figure something out for the rasp. On another note....I could not get the damn baffle out ....I honestly think it needs to be cut out someway. We tried all types of methods with no success. Sorry guys. Will upload the video tonight. Any questions holla at me.

Big shout and thanks to "TruvieThug" for getting me a new O2 sensor for a great price and shipped in a couple of days. Without the sensor this install would have not been possible.
My exhaust sounded similar (way too loud and raspy) the first time I turned over my tC after install. You just need to put an extra resonator into your midpipe. Dont even bother with a hotdog, use a wide resonator right from the start. I threw in a Vibrant Performance Ultra Quiet which eliminated ALL rasp below 5k rpm, and even above there is bearly any.

What was the cel code that its putting out? I had a cel but that was becasue a hose going into the maf was a tad to long pinching it self and needed to be snipped by about an inch. snipped and 2thousand miles later no cell.... the intake is badass for the money it looks good and sounds good. that's all you can really ask for.

When I installed my Raceland Intake it seemed to not be perfectly straight and the filter seemed to be practically sitting on the wheel liner! It took alot of tinkering to get that right! For the price you cant beat it, but there are better intakes!

When i got it scanned it said p1001 or p1010 something with the maf sensor..i heard that BOMZ diameter when the maf is connected is to big.so idk i have to put my stock air box and reset and see if its the sensor..if not then i am def getting the raceland intake it comes with the right size housing.

sorry yall i forgot to respond to this. you have to basically destroy it. its removable but its in there super snug. you have to cut it apart and pry it with a pry bar

It is possible to remove it with out destroying it. I have done it twice, though I would recommend leaving it in place until you have a good resonator installed. I'm ordering an Aero Resonator later this week. Hopefully it with quiet the exhaust note and get rid of most of the rasp.

For now I'm running with the silencer in and fully closed. The sound is bareable with a slight drone between 45 and 75 and getting louder 80+. I have noticed a decent power increase though I haven't had the car on the dyno yet so I don't know how much.

Overall I'd say that this exhaust is great value for money but I would have paid extra to have a good resonator pre-installed. Build quality is excellent, though there were a few decent size dents on my muffler, possibly from shipping. Fitment is good but not great, there is a place where it occationally vibrates against the exhaust shield. I pushed the shield up a little during install but it seems I'll have to see if it will move a bit more.

I'm interested to see how the intake actually works out before I commit to it. Raceland sent me some dyno figures indicating a 9 hp gain but they did not provide any graphs. Would any of you say the the power increase with the Raceland intake matches the gain from the Injen intake?

The silencer will pop right out with a "Slide Hammer'....stick it in the silencer, bang like 2-3 times and it will pop out without any damage to the exhaust or silencer. Problem solved.

How close does this sit to the bumper? I am considering buying this to run with my 5 axis kit and just get a Megan S-pipe for it. I'm just unsure of fitment in the lip. I'm sure the hanger can be modded a lil. Would people say that this was louder than the tsudo? What is the pipings quality? Does it seem really thin walled?
