Feedback RS192.co.uk group buy / RN494 Centre box

[rsmax]

To all who have taken part in 2013/2014 group buy of the Rs192.co.uk
exhaust.

Are you satisfied with your exhaust? There is a discussion on cliotrophy.co.uk
because Scorpion changed the centre box (silencer) design and now the system is
so boomy between 2.750-4200 revs at my Car that I put the OEM centre box on the
car.
The "new" silencer looks like a straight through solution and roars like one.
Yes, I had it correctly fitted.

Anyone else had such a problem?

They're seemingly developing two updated versions of the centre box, and it would appear they've sent out the track day spec one first without telling you all.

I've posted a response I got from the Whybee sales director this morning when I asked about the design change.

Nice to know

I think the new RN494 centre section is far superior to the older centre section.

It sounds a lot better overall and the build quality is far far superior. I don't agree that it's overally droany personally, especially compare to the likes of a Miltek system for example.

Even if it was, having a slightly boomy exhaust at 70mph is far more bearable than a centre section that cracks every month like the older centre section did.

The built quality itself is surely spot on but mine droaned like a orbisoud cup straight through system.
Maybe they made a mistake and sent me wrong centre box?

Does anyone know what the cutoff dates were?

Intrigued to know which of the "old" or "cracking" or "race" versions I got when I bought mine in December 2013 (not in a group buy).

Look in Lawro's thread, you can see what the new design one looks like in there!

I was looking at these RS192s on FleaBay. I assume these particular exhausts are quiet? I dont want to have a boomy exhaust like the Williams.
