Hey everyone. I'm new here, but I've owned my ss for about 3 years. I have an Injen intake, ZFR, zzp intercooler, a 24psi tune, and much more. I seriously love my car, but i have just a straight pipe right now and i don't really like the sound... my question... i know that the rfl sounds pretty good, but problem is, i know that it may be loud and full of drone. What are you guys running? I'm trying to decide between the two, any comments would be seriously helpful.

I have the FL one has a bit of drone but not a lot, it has a really good sound aswell and won't be as loud as a straightpipe or the rfl, I really like mine

i have the rfl and absolutely love it. but if you already have a straight pipe you may not like the rfl. go with the FL.

RFL combined with the ZFR will really not be much different than your current straight pipe setup. The RFL was perfect on the stock turbo but with the larger turbo setups, it's going to be much louder.

My RFL/6758 setup sounds good but it definitely drones. I'd suggest the TXS GT exhaust if you're focused on TXS or maybe even look at the MPx 3" exhaust.

I have a mpx exhaust and you won't like it because it's quiet. Only loud under wot. I love it and really no highway drone.

Great advice guys. So does the extra one resonator that the fl has compared to the rfl really make a big difference when I’m running a Zfr, seems like it’ll be kinda loud either way.

I'll see if I can get you a decent video of my car, I have the FL like I mentioned above but I have the high flow dp and I also have a zfr

Ok so my final question is... does the FL and the RFL have the same tone, just fl is quieter? Or are they both completely different. Tone means a lot to me, and if they both sound the same I will make up my mind lol

That I wouldn't be sure haven't heard the rfl in person

they both sound pretty similar. the fl is just toned down a tad thats all.

I test fitted the RFL from another car and I think I preferred my setup of factory muffler and catless dp. The RFL is as advertised, I will say that!

I have the GT exhaust from Turbo XS. Its louder than factory at wot but not that bad. The basic change was deeper tone, slightly louder. Cruising felt the same as the factory exhaust. If you want a 3" exhaust but dont want to pay for an exhaust fix it ticket down the road, get the GT exhaust. P.S. They sell the rear sections of the exhaust separate for like $275 if I last remembered. You could get the GT exhaust and then buy a RFL rear section and swap em when you want. 2 bolts and done.
