Just got back from WORKS and got the R-AB installed.

First impression: Its looks so nice, the welds are clean and tips are perfect. Its very light and when we got it installed it fits perfect on the car, no issues with clearance. For the price you get more than what you pay for.
When we started the car up it sounded exactly like an EVO, not a 240sx or a civic but an EVO it has a VERY VERY deep throaty sound but not like a V8.

Driving impression
: NO drone what so ever, at 70 mph you will hear wind noise than the exhaust but when you punch it you will get the deep tone.

Once WORKS post their video of the car, ill post it here..

*Sorry the car is dirty from the rain*

I cant copy and post the dyno results from their website but that was my car bone stock running on 76's 91 oct with the TSB chirping issue.
That's a turbo engine...of course mods make bigger numbers on a turbo engine.

That's why it made 10hp and 7tq on our cars.

Yeah i know that, my point was that they used the same technology for our cars to get more power than the other filters out there.

No drone? So if you are cruising at 55 or 60 in 5th gear, you do not hear the exhaust at all? As like like stock? I wouldn't mind this to my Invidia N1 exhaust if this has no drone. That's my only complaint to the N1. Of course this exhaust still keeps the stock mid pipe. Hmmmm

I'll believe it when an independent source releases good dynos.

You will hear slight exhaust but not what you would expect for a muffler delete.. you can hear it a little more than stock, but not so much that you know you have a muffler delete. its sounds like a very expensive exhaust, you can hear the suby engine noise when you accelerate from stop and when your at idle but not loud at all.
