Got my RK Sport Cat-Back today (single)
Friday, May 13, 2005 6:54 PM
about a 3 hr install, did it myself. Seems that i had to goto napa to find bolts from the Cat to the new pipe because the old pipe was threaded but these were not. Anyway heres some pics (couldn't find pics of this installed so i figured maybe i'm the first)

Its a pretty deep sound throughout the whole rpm range when its warm, cold its almost ricey.
Nevermind the dents in this one, someone ran into my car while it was parked and never left a note or anything, thats my attempt to push it back out..

Gotta love the good ol' cold buzz, I cant wait until I get rid of my Magnaflow Exhaust and replace it with a fully custom one. Except I'm going from the Header all the way back on my Ecotec. Good job with the install, looks like it went pretty smoothly, congrats once again.

Ok got some video and stuff. Just took some video and cut it down. Start up, fly by, inside, crusing. This'll help people decide on wether or not to get this exhaust. This is only a temporary host so if someone could find a permanent place for it that'd be cool

I have had mine on for a while now, I have pics on my website, see the sig. I love the exhuast but I also hate the cold buzz. I was going to fix that next but, I just ordered my throttle body.

Ok i hosted the file on PutFile.com. Problem is you gotta wait because it Divx and isn't streamable. Should be much faster you'll just have to be patient before the video starts. Thanks

I love it, I was thinking about getting that system but I didnt know how it sounds. Thanks you made my choice a yes!

Do you have headers or anything or just the system?

Nope, Thats Just Cat-Back. I've read somewhere else on this forum that it'll sound really raspy if you put on headers. I guess the fix for that would be getting a resonator welded in. My other engine mod is the Cavalier Connections intake.

Did this just bolt on?


Re: Got my RK Sport Cat-Back today (single)

Yes it did, except it seemed to be missing 3 bolts or otherwise i was supposed to use the bolts that connect the cat to the rest of the piping. I'm not sure but we went to Ace Hardware and got some. Other than that hiccup, yes it was a direct bolt-on replacement.

An Exhaust shop should be able sell you a resenator and put one on for you. It sounds alittle raspy when cold but that doesn't last long. Car warms up so quick anyway.

That should be sufficient for 4-6 PSI
