Do a search on it. In a nutshell RAS is a system that turns the back wheels at higher speeds for more controlled turning, such as high speed lane changing. My 2006 has it. There are a few ways to tell if you have it. 1. Turn your key to the on position but don't start your car. The lights in your dashboard will all light up. In the center of the dash you will see an "RAS" indicator if you do in fact have Rear Active Steering. If no light shows up then you don't have it. 2. climb under the back of your car. You will see a black servo/motor right behind the muffler section of your exhaust. I don't have pics now but there are some on the forum. Hope this helps,

Thanks for the help. I have a 2006 and I did as you said, and the light came on. I will look under the car this afternoon.

You have it then. Remember, not all exhaust systems will fit our cars. If you do upgrade it then you must tell the vendor you have RAS.

Thanks, I was just looking for an exhaust and did not know that. You guys rock here. Any exhaust you recommend, I don't want anything to loud.

go to youtube and search for exhaust clips. You will be amazed at what you find. I haven't bought mine yet but I think I will go with the Fast Intentions setup. It sounds great, but it is pricey. They do have the RAS exhaust though. Go for that and a set of their 300 series High Flow Cats.
