I have the dual 60rs on my 06ap2 and it sounds great. Some drone from about 2500-3500 rpms and thats it.. The fitment was good but will rattle against the frame of the car if it rains due to the steel pipes expanding when its burning hot and then cooling off instantly if It gets wet through a puddle.. We just took it off one of the hangers to let it sit a little lower and it hasnt rubbed against the body of the car again. Overal I love my exhaust and sounds nuts at any rpm and through tunnels its just pure sexiness. once I get a gopro I'll post some vids

Im waiting on my 70rs DUAL to come... Hopefully next month! But about fitment issues... You'll have to make a small dent on the underside of the car to make this exhaust fit. I had a convo with a guy from GoTuning about it and thats what he said I'd have to do.

Edit: You only have to make a small dent for fitment IF you have an AP2. AP1 will fit perfect.

to clarify, j's racing exhausts fit fine on 05 and below. 06 and above have fitment problems.

If you want to eliminate it completely, you'll need to use more triangle hangers, and space out the subframe tie bar with washers...

That is true. I have a 70RS single and had issues with the hangers and rubbing against the chassis. I did find a fix. Had to wrap in front of the resonator with header wrap to insulate the vibration. It still had a little vibration until in got warmed up. After not problems. Enjoy your exhaust. Later BD

Lol i dont even have it yet so everything I said comes from the known company, GoTuning. Now GoTuning told me in an email that you would have to take a small socket and tap a dent in the exhaust tunnel under the passenger side. Im not exactly sure on the spot but when mine comes im going to make a detailed install thread because no 1 else seems to have a clue of what to do. Im going to go through my emails and see if GoTuning said anything else.

Edit: Due to the chassis change on the passenger floor board. You will need to make a dent on one of the corners to clear the exhaust pipe. You will not see the dent from inside the car. Best is to use a 19mm socket ( since it is rounded ) and use the socket as a template to make a clean smooth rounded dent. You will know where the dent is needed once you line up the exhaust. - GoTuning
