Rear Active Steering

I have an 06 6mt premium. How do I know if I have rear active steering? I want to find out before I get the HKS Hi-flow.

There are very few exhaust setups that will fit with RAS.
I know Tony at Fast Intentions will custom bend one for you but you need to physically be there for that to happen.
You'll probably have to go with some kind of custom work.

I was completely unaware of this. (duh!) HKS was too loud for my taste and I never researched it. Good to know.
There needs to be a sticky in the exhaust forum about compatibility. There's a serious lack of information out there.

Interesting...I heard HKS didn't fit either and thats why I didn't get it.

if RAS doesn't light up, then you do not have RAS... Plus, if you didn't ask for RAS when you purchased your car brand new, then you didn't get RAS.. Dealer don't usually toss those in for FREE.

I have RAS and driven a G w/o RAS.. everything else was identical.. The difference was night and day at high speed. Changing lanes, taking a tight corner, all felt more "stable" with RAS.

Is it worth the extra $$$? Nope.. But I just added RAS anyways because i got everything thing else.. Navi, premium, sports, 6mt, etc. etc.. Might as well go all out.
