Happy with the revolution but not to every ones taste as it sounds raspy .
I can't complain about the finish.
I've had many different bits of exhaust over the years.....Prodrive (manufactured by Scorpion), Magnex, ScoobySport (H&S), Afterburner (manufactured by H&S), TSL grp 'N' (manufactured by Scorpion) and MillTek.

I've not seen a Revolution, so can't comment on finish.

The welds on the GRD are up there with the Prodrive & MillTek system and certainly better then a Magnex. The tailbox and pipe is not as 'Bling' as the TSL Grp'N' but this has always been a very well finished/polished box.

Rob came round last week, with what turned out to be a MillTek classic centre, and TBH it wasn't all that.....but it was quite old so maybe they have improved.

I did give the GRD a good going over with the polishing wheel and Stainless Polishing compound/bar, as it was 3rd hand, so not sure what the shine/finish is like from new. As mentioned above though, the welds all look tip-top.

Not sure what a full RCM would work out. The GRD is £750, which is quite pricey for a relatively unknown system.
If the RCM is close to that, then TBH if I had the choice and the money the RCM would win.

I'm very very pleased with the GRD. The fit was perfect (I thought the fact that it was a slip joint would be a problem, but it couldn't of been easier, DP and system lined up perfect and slip joint did just that....slipped on, job done, even for 1 man job laying underneath).

Oh! and the price I got it for helped ... cheers Greg
