Opinions on Ractive Exhaust ?

Looking for opinions on the ractive exhaust system for the mp5.

I have had my p5 for about 4 weeks now and have some of the first basic tuning bits on and happened to catch an auction where I got a Ractive exhaust system for the mp5 for 107 plus shipping.

Assuming this was a good deal and from the specs on that system compared to others it looked nice.

What I want to know those is opinions of people who have owned or at least see and heard this sytem on a p5. Is it nice sounding (low and deep), looking...what about power gains. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thx

Thumbs up

i dont have the exhaust but i got the ractive intake installed.

the engine is more responsive, it feels like it has more power, theres this cool growl when you accelerate, the rpm is lower on the highway and it seems like 1st and 2nd gears have become more smoother.
the car also takes off much better, smoother and faster in 1st and 2nd.

the car feels and drives more sporty. i took my friend for a drive and he was v.impressed .

Thx man, I have a custom CAI with a K&N filter on it right now so I wanted somethin to help the exiting gases since I have more airflow in now. Sounds like they have a good product line.

Next up are the Jpsec cams and intake manifold =)
