Catless Smell *Fixed* (VRSF content)
I have catless down pipes and a few weeks ago I picked up a VRSF exhaust.
I was full catless for a couple of weeks but the smell was getting to me. I picked up a 3.5" Magnaflow cat and had it welded on by a shop in Alameda. The fumes are gone and the exhaust is a tad quieter, perfect for me. I'm not too concerned about hp, I picked up this exhaust for the weight savings and the tone. Notes about VRSF: - Exhaust fitment is 95% - Tips don't really line up regardless of adjustment (had it fixed by the shop) - I pm'ed Tiago@VRSF a couple of times about the dissatisfaction with the tips and I didn't get a response (though I've seen a few posts from him so I know he's been on the forums). Bad customer service ![]() Overall I'm happy with the exhaust considering it's price point.

The tips are actually adjustable although the next revision will offer longer tips for a bit more adjustment. The tips will line up if the mid pipes sit a bit lower than most people would like. We're currently working on a revision to resolve both the low hanging issue and the mis-alignment. The revised mid-pipes will be free of charge for anyone who has purchased our catback from us in the past.
I'm not sure what you mean by PM's, the only PM I have from you in a few weeks was sent earlier today? Either way I PM'd you back ![]()

Get electric cutouts, the single pipe should make that very easy to do space wise.

The cost effective way to solve the issue with making a straight piped exhaust, @Tiago@VRSF, would be to sell the exhaust minus the muffler section. Basically everything for piping and tips BUT the muffler area, that way if people want to do a custom rear section they can have a shop fab it up and add it in.
