Okay, I did it! The tips on the new RMM exhaust look lame as hell. I am a big RMM fan but this exhaust has issues:
1) The RMM chrome tip is WAY too small - doesn't fill the stock gap
2) The RMM tips come out way too far from the body
3) For some reason the RMM chrome tip is placed on top of another smaller inside tip - looks rice IMHO
4) Using the stock hangers w/ the RMM exhaust had my left tip un-centered
So, I had the tips hacked off and larger ones installed. I also had new hangers welded and mounted with precision fitting. I also had the stock resonators removed and straight pipes installed. Let me tell you, after hearing RedGS4's car w/o resonators with his Tanabe exhaust I had to give it a try. The sound is incredible, very throaty and mean as hell.
Even though I had to drop additional funds to get it done right, the RMM sound is fantastic and the look is exactly what I wanted...
PM me if you are in the Bay Area and want my installer's contact info, he is awesome and has been doing custom work for years.

hey snergy
i have the real borla tips on my stock exaust and love the look , do you think i could mount them in place of rod millens own. i have been holding off on exaust because of droning , but want the aggressive sound
does the rmm have any drone noise or are they as others describe
