Any updates on this Jan??

I'll have my R56 in a month and I'm eager to make sure it does not stay stock for much longer after that! I don't like the current exhaust offerings for the R56 so I'm counting on RMW!!

Should be out very very soon. Just saw the prototype in person and it looks fantastic!

I will be getting one FOR SURE! None of this quiet Alta 3" boringness for me....

The Alta turboback is definitely not quiet even when I'm putting along my wife here's me coming from a couple blocks away (assuming she's outside waiting) ...

It would be great to have an exhaust system that could compare to the sharp note of the R53, but I can't imagine it being possible w/ the turbo ...

I've only heard the Alta Cat-Back in person, and it was hardly even noticeable to me. Sounded like stock, with a slightly more aggressive note. The change in tone and volume seemed equivalent to the change going from a stock exhaust to a one-ball exhaust in an R53 to me....

If you think the Alta is loud stay away from the RMW exhaust.

Mine is easily 20-30 db louder than the alta at WOT.

Seriously though, Yes, it's louder than stock, no, it's not loud at all. You can FEEL me start my car from inside my house, no joke .

we are only going to sell the full turbo back exhaust as the catback does very little

we have the best pricing for the components used. That's our trademark

once I get the tube bending pricing back I will have a price

Your website quotes a generic approximate price of $2,000. This is a fair amount more money than either of the other 2 brands offering turbo-back systems.

Am I missing something?

I'm pretty sure that exhaust on his site is for the R53 (Which includes a custom race header with equal length primaries, a 4-1 burnes collector, race cat and flex joint, and a custom cat-back made out of 304 stainless steel.

The R56 exhaust will be a full 2.5" downpipe, with a custom cat-back system (With undetermined mufflers).
