RLS Exhaust

[tehrlich]

Has anyone tried an RLS Exhaust?

I looked at as many aftermarket exhausts that I could find. Was drooling over the Tailgunner, but that price will be for another day. I found RLS and bought two versions. They've been shipped, and I'll install this weekend hopefully. Give them a whirl, and will sell the one I don't use. Both ceramic coated. About $450 each. Made in Texas.

Cool! I am waiting for his cat pipe to be ready! It will have a resonator in it which should give a deeper/mellower tone plus some back pressure without having to use a baffle insert...

Please let me know the quality of the materials and the Ceramic Coating (especially after it has seen some serious heat like after a hard run). I want mine with the Black Ceramic Coat as well....

RLS exhaust

I have !!! I have the punisher series on my RT .....I LOVE IT

I called Ricky(owner) and told him I wanted a rumble at idle , but not obnoxiously loud going down the road . He said this is the one I need. Got it , love at first sound, don't have a lot of miles on it yet ( snow in Iowa), but I love the way it sounds when it downshifts.

I know RLS EXhaust is trying to get in the Spyder world, so head to his website and check it out.

Quality is great , great customer service, great sound

Yes, seems like a nice guy. Only communicated through email. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks for the input.

I really like the way mine sounds, he also has a couple items in the works that are going to be amazing

tehrlich, Are you going to be at SpyderFest ? I would like to hear the way yours sound also, I will be there at least Friday,Saturday,Sunday.

Maybe we can hook up at some point, post pic when you have them on...

Installed one of the RLS exhausts that I bought. It sounds GREAT but it is ridiculously loud. Very loud. Realy really loud.

My Spyder does not have the secondary muffler. It has the cat bypass pipe. This is the problem, I'm guessing.

I really like these exhausts. The build quality is great. They look great! They weigh a LOT less. Heck, both of them weigh less than the stock! I can't believe how much that thing weighs.


I put the stock exhaust back on with the cat delete. Sounds good, not great, but tolerable. I can ride through the neighborhood.


So, my question is: do you think it is worth while putting the secondary muffler back in place and try one of these again?

This was on their website for the "Punisher" model for 2008 - 2012 models


"These custom-made exhausts are slim, sleek, and VERY loud"

If you have all the components still, then why not? It would be worthwhile to see if it has "just the right sound" you are looking for. As for performance, it will be stronger down low and into the midrange due to recovering some back-pressure with the primary muffler/cat unit, then you might lose a little bit on the top end but I doubt you would even feel it.

Yes, but I didn't buy that one. I bought the two other versions that implied it wasn't that was louder, but "not extreme."

[h=2]This all stainless steel exhaust made to fit your stock Catalytic converter

These custom-made exhausts are slim, sleek, and make the bike rumble They are louder but not extreme[/h][h=2][/h]

Agreed, but I really am not motivated to tackle that one spring that is so difficult to attach!

Plus, that muffler weighs a LOT. putting that weight back on is not appealing.

I'm confused on terms now. Is the cat/muffler the Primary or Secondary muffler? I've called it the secondary exhaust.

That's a good question, I looked it up on the parts diagram, the cat is listed as the "primary muffler".
I have the punisher RLS exhaust on mine with the (75 lbs)"primary muffler still on it, it has a nice rumble but sounds good at highway speeds

I know RLS EXHAUST is working on a replacement for the primary muffler(cat) that has a resonator built in to mellow the sound, he has told me they are in the testing phase, so there are Spyders running around with this new design.

delete pipe/muffler

I did the muffler/cat/delete pipe shuffle about 20 times until I decided to weld a small flowmaster (10 I believe) into the delete pipe. With the voodoo exhaust its perfect to me. Loud, but not ridiculous. With the delete pipe alone, the voodoo made my ears bleed.

 

[WRTFLYR]

If you didn’t install a baffle in the cat delete pipe, Lamonster has one that fits and tones everything down a bit plus gives you a little back pressure which enhances performance! It’s an easy install!opcorn:

Yes, I have the "Big City" baffle, or whatever it is called.

My hunch is that the CAT (primary muffler !) needs to go back on and then retry.

Muffler in delete pipe

What I’m saying about the pipe is I bought a flow master 10 muffler with an offset intake... cut out a section of the delete pipe that the muffler fit in, and welded the delete pipe ends back onto the muffler. Took some time to make a jig so it would all line up but it was easy and slipped right back in place. I LOVE it

This is what I was referring to in my post above. Ricky is coming out with a unit that has a resonator/mini muffler in it. He said around the end of January but when I last talked with him, his supplier(s) for a component(s) is dragging their a$$!
