Default I am having a problem with my RSR Exhaust...

Frist things first, it is not installed yet. I can not get out the silincer. I am not even sure if what I am pulling on is the silincer (and yes I undid a bold but I am not sure if it is the right one or not). I have an 04 and I am not sure if I got a 03 exhaust either. I have pics of the exhaust and my problem but I can't post them becasue I have not gotten my credit card yet so I can't pay for stuff online yet. Also has anyone heard a RSR exhaust sound clip? It is NOT on the S2000 exhaust library so please don't tell me to go there. Thanks and I can e-mail the pics if need be.

The silencer should have only one bolt.

In my experience MOST silencers are difficult to remove. It just requires a lot of pulling.

If you have a tool with a hook at the end you can use it or I've heard of people using a coat hanger. By inserting it thru the smaller hole and tugging pretty hard.

WD40 or some kind of lubricant helps

I just use needle nose pliers and grab the inner flange and pull. After a couple of times it will get easier.

I had an RS*R and I tell you those silencers are the biggest pain in the butt to remove, about 10 million times worse then my old invidia. But what was worse is that after I removed them I wanted to put them back in because it was too loud for me with them out, and perfect with them in. Nice an subded, yet more aggressive then stock. I'm back to stock now, which keeps be happy.

Why did you go back to stock? What did you like about the exhaust and what did you not like? Notice a power gain or not? Do you have any pics of it installed on your car? Thanks
