I believe we spoke this morning but for the record, we offer this system as both an Axleback (does not touch Cats) or as a Catback (eliminating or upgrading the Secondary Cats to High Flow.

Prices for both options?

Yes, the exhaust is a full catback

What a wonderful addition! I've been eyeballing the RR Racing bazookas for a while now and your clip really got me intrigued again.
I've got a few questions, if you don't mind.
1) Where is the wiring to the electronic valves connected? What power source is recommended? I'm sure a module or relay box also needs to be mounted, if so, where?
2) Is the only control for the valves from the keyfob, or is an interior button/switch possible/included?

Thanks in advance.

How is drone with the valves closed? Are you running high flow cats?

No drone at all. Nope, full exhaust. Midpipe and mufflers

You can program your garage door buttons with the valve key fob. I have one garage so my middle button is to open the valves and my far right button is to close the valves. I also wired mine to the relay box in the trunk with an "add a fuse," into a fuse that's always on so I'm able to open and close with the car off. I have the HFC and there isn't any drone. If anyone is near Lake Elsinore or MARB and would like to hear the exhaust in person let me know.

Thanks for the enlightenment, glm318!
It would have been nice if RR Racing mentioned that the key fob signal can be programmed to our Homelink control...
I see that you're a fellow Californian, so I have a couple of specific questions for you, if you don't mind.
  • Since we're in arguably the strictest emissions state in the country, have you had any issues with smog inspections or CARB compliance?
  • I'm probably having a mechanic install this for me as I don't have a lift to make things easier. He might not be familiar with where to route the wires to the trunk fuse box. I assume there is access from the underside to the trunk that's accessible? If so, where?
  • Which number fuse did you tap? I like your idea of connecting the valves to an always-on relay so that I can open and close the valves when the car is off (especially on the remote chance that I'm parked next to a kindly police officer).
I wish I lived closer to your location, as I'd love to hear your setup in person before pulling the trigger.

Thanks in advance!

I apologize but I've been busy. I sent you a PM.

Gentleman,
After waiting patiently for 5 weeks for my axelback from RR-Racing with no end in sight, I reluctantly had to cancel my order. Long story short, multiple delays (some avoidable), but in the end, their lack of communication was unacceptable to me.
I'm really bummed, because I was truly looking forward to their exhaust.
I would caution anyone ordering from RR-Racing to keep on top of them to make sure nothing goes awry with your order (which really shouldn't be our responsibility).
