1. Only some of the 2001's started with the 3 bolt flange. If you have an earlier model with a 3 bolt flange, someone swapped exhausts.
2. ARK, you are welcome to run any GB's here you want, we just try to have one at a time by any business so that things don't get confused and there isn't doubt on items or money. How fair would it be for folks that want to buy item a from company a if they have a b and c at the same time?

REDZ is right. It's better for sales.
It's too bad you don't have a dual outlet single exhaust for the RD's. I'm looking for something fancy and attractive as well as performance. It's not common for aftermarket catbacks to be dual chrome tipped... but I need something I can polish up for the girls to look at. lol.gif yours is a nifty exhaust but i can't accept having it being so noticeable. Guess it's a personal preference.
maybe in the future you will have something available in that style. keep us updated though.

I saw someone post that 2.25" was better than 2.5"... i thought that wider was better. Someone care to explain to me how it works?
Okay, I'm going to add my question here so I don't make a new thread.
Only difference in RD1 exhausts and RD2 exhausts is that the RD1's have 2 bolt flange and RD2 has 3.
If you buy a whole system from a RD1 headers and exhaust it will fit on an RD2 no problem correct? And vise versa?

Okay, the Exhaust system goes as follows.
Exhaust Manifold -> Down Pipe -> Flex Pipe -> Cat -> mid pipe on
The 3 bolt flangs is on the CAT before the midpipe.
If the 'whole system' your talking about INCLUDES the cat, then it will work.
Or instead of buying a whole exhaust system for an RD1, you could buy a high flow cat that has 2 bolt flangs on both sides.

I'm not interested in buying exhaust system but thought I might add this in.
I just got done taking out my stock exhaust/cat in place of MBRP and my cat is 2-bolt flange on the header(front of car) side and 3-bolt flange on the other (rear of car) side.
This system is said to be 2-bolt all the way around? I believe some RD1's have cat's with both 2-bolt and 3-bolt flanges....maybe take a look under your car and see for sure before sending money.
