Just ordered RPM pipes. 4 into 1. Should be cool looking. Does anyone know if you need to take the pipes off for an oil change? That would be way too convenient hence why it should be a thing.
The RPM exhaust was designed in part to allow removal of the oil drain plug without the need to remove the exhaust.

I know you will be happy, it is the only exhaust system designed for the FJ and not interfere with the oil drain plug or hand too low and drag on the ground.
The RPM ultra lightweight stainless steel exhaust system has arrived. This is a 4-2-1 style system that allows the use of all of the stock options such as the chin fairing, center stand and allows access to the oil pan drain plug for easy oil changes.
The RPM ultra lightweight exhaust is offered with four different muffler options including round or megaphone. The round muffler options are stainless steel, Titanium or carbon fiber. The megaphone comes in polished stainless steel only.
The system is lightweight with the heaviest system coming in at 9.9 lbs. The O.E. exhaust system weighs 31.6 lbs, which results in a weight savings of at least 21.7 lbs.
The oil drain plug can still be accessed to ease of draining, the center stand can remain and the system tucks up nicely into the lower chin fairing.
The base system is the stainless steel round muffler and the other mufflers are available at an additional cost.
You must select the year model of your bike and the muffler kit you require.
The kit includes new header gaskets, lock nuts and all of the mounting hardware required as well as the spring tool.
Complete system weight
Carbon Fiber - 8.5 lbs
Titanium - 8.7 lbs
Stainless Steel - 9.9 lbs
Megaphone - 9.3 lbsYour new system will be headed your way on Monday.

i love mine!
it was a great investment
That is awesome. I know it's a small thing but it's a pain in the rear having to remove pipes just to change oil. I already did the oil filter adapter swap out. That saves a bunch of time too.
+3 to everyone else's comments. Recently installed RPM system here. After installation I can guarantee you will be able to access the drain plug. I know your pain crash7863, my previous system required header pipe removal for oil drain. You're gonna be so impressed with the fit of RPM's system.

Really must get round to getting one of these myself, I've been doing it for around five years... :Facepalm:
I've already got Randy's suspension front and back,along with the fork brace, the spin-on oil filter converter and the oil cooler. So I know the exhaust will be first-class when I get it.
