Tomei Type 80 vs Revolution RS

[netram]

Considering getting one of those exhausts for my 86 relatively soon. Thoughts on the two and which one is preferred and why. Also I plan on getting F.I down the road, so I'm conflicted on which one to get.

You'll need to take a holistic view of the exhaust: headers-back. You mention forced induction, and I'm sure you know this: increasing PSI yields a larger, more turbulent airflow through the engine and exhaust. How the exhaust is handled at the header is key.

Taking the type of forced induction into consideration: if you opt for turbo charging, are you rocking a recirculating wastegate or dumping to atmosphere? Long story short: if you’re building to squeeze every ounce of power out of the FA20, mind the minutia, otherwise: personal preference

I've researched these 2 as well as the HKS, and ended up with the HKS.

1) Tomei has some rattle issues and is basically 2x the price of the other two
2) Greddy doesnt play nice with the stock style front pipe, so you need an adapter.
3) HKS fits the stock style front pipe without issues, is also 3", and was cheaper than the other two.

How does the HKS sound?

Not looking to squeeze every ounce of power out of the FA20 just something conservative

False, my tomei 60s doesn't have any rattling issues. I am full tomei, from headers to full exhaust system and it sounds AMAZING!

Is the sound of a full tomei exhaust setup deep or raspy/throaty?

The hks is cheaper because it's lower quality metal.

He's not asking about the 60S, he's asking about the 80R. Completely different design. Two local people with the 80R both have rattling issues FYI.

Not bad. I think the Greddy sounds better IMO.

But the greddy's fitment is iffy at the front pipe?

[netram]

Really want to know what the Type 80 is like for owners who have it Please

I have the Greddy Revo RS and I absolutely love it. Compared to my fiance's Invidia N1 it's more aggressive and a tad bit louder. There isn't much of a drone at cruising speeds compared to the N1, as well. The only complaint I have was on the installation. The mount next to the muffler/ tip was a challenge getting onto the exhaust hanger. Also, the fitment on the connection to the stock front pipe wasn't great. Had to REALLY torque everything down for no leaks. All worth it, though. Once it's fully broken in you're complimented with some nice crackles and pops, especially on a rev-matched downshift.
