Ractive exhaust??
 

So I finally figured out what exhaust is on my 08 ms3. Bought it from the dealership and I knew it had some sort of cat-back system on it but was unsure of what it was because it's still pretty damn quiet (which I don't mind). It is a Ractive exhaust :261:... I've never heard of this company before and want to know if any of you know ANYTHING about it. Is it junk? Is it decent? Should I just rip it down and get something that is tried-and-true or just leave it on and hope it doesn't rust or clog up on me...
Let me know what ya think!

meh.

wouldnt be my first choice if I was buying exhaust parts.

They made a header for the protege5 that as OK quality. Some people had fitment issues, others it worked perfectly.

Well the cat-back seems to fit fine, doesn't rattle or anything. As you said, certainly wouldn't be my first choice for an exhaust either. It is really quiet though, I would think it can't be much louder than stock.

Lol... I used to have a set of Ractive aluminum 'racing' pedals and spark plug wires on my Focus ZX3. Got em on clearance at G.I. Joes (now Joe's Sports and Outdoor). They're ok quality. Owned by Toucan Industries FYI.

Okay, chances are the shit is coming off once I find a deal on a decent replacement. I've been debating getting a custom pipe made, but I'm not sure yet. I want some side exits :p
