So, I actually bought the Ultimate-Racing performance mufflers and installed them, and I've gotta say that this was the second easiest thing to install on the RA so far. When I bought the axle-back exhaust for my GTS and bolted that on it wasn't even this easy! This exhaust truly is a direct bolt-on and I couldn't be happier with it. I've never heard this great of a sound coming from just replacing the muffler on a car. The tone is deep, low, and it GROWLS in the lower RPM ranges. It has that signature turbo gurgle sound that I LOOOOVE, and it sounds a little like an SRT-4 to be honest.
I ordered the exhaust from Lancershop.com, and I was very surprised at how quickly it got to me. It took 6 days. Well, actually 4 -- I ordered it on a Thursday and got it on Wednesday the next week. If I had ordered it Monday, I'd have had it by Friday. But, I ordered it off of them because I had a 10% off coupon code through them and it worked out to get the mufflers cheaper this way than directly through Ultimate-Racing (even though it was sent FROM THEIR WAREHOUSE).
I got to work straight away installing it! The stock muffler was a little rough getting off, just because of the end pieces on the rods holding it into the hangers. But, once i lubed them up really good, I was able to slide them right out and unbolt the whole muffler from the midpipe. Here;s what they look like side-by-side. The stock muffler is on the left and the new mufflers are on the right. What a difference!

The installation was super easy. All I had to do was slide the rods into the hangers and then bolt everything up tightly. All-in-all, the whole installation took less than 25 minutes! It was well worth the money, and I recommend this exhaust to anyone with the Ralliart. I doubt I'll be purchasing the midpipe at all, and even if I do any exhaust work I'll just have a custom midpipe made at my local exhaust shop. Hope you all like it!

I hope to have a video up soon of the sound. Keep posted and I'm going to try and get that done, because you don't actually believe it until you hear it!
