Finally picked up this exhaust, after waiting almost 4 weeks for it to arrive(wasn't through CP-E, so no fault of theirs). Here are some teaser pics, and it will be installed on Wednesday. I'll get some installed pics and a video/sound clip or two later that night.

 

Sorry for the big *** pics, will resize.

 

cant wait to hear it man...all i know is that its loud and sounds AMAZING!!! based on the 1 vid ive seen of it on youtube with the guy who taped his cameras to the back of his car lol I really really like it! ...also let us know if you feel any difference in the performance too, although i dont suspect "too" much until you tune it!!

 

Test pipe and no resonator? I wonder how much louder that will be compared to one with a hi-flow with a resonator. I have the cat-back installed right now, and will install the hi-flow and downpipe later.

 

I'm hoping it won't be too loud, but rather has a nice deep growl. I've watched that video a few times now, and it was definitely a selling point for me. Sounded amazing.

 

it's really nice but it's pretty loud I have just the catback.. was loud enough for a cop to pull me over ;/

 

Where are you located? Do the cops normally pull people over for loud exhausts?

 

Do you have a resonator on yours? I have one and I don't think it's that loud.

 

Looks great cant wait for the vid. Btw how much was it?

 

I got the downpipe used, but it was still brand new. But from their site, its roughly $220(down pipe)+$220(test pipe)+$760(CBE). A little on the expensive side, but the quality of the parts looks great. As long as it fits great, I'll be happy.

 

Should also mention that I will getting another tune done later this month I hope. Want to get at least the long hard pipe installed before I went on the rollers again.

Turbo should spool much quicker as there will be less back pressure on the turbo. But without a tune, should see about 20hp/20ft/lb based on the dyno sheets from CP-E.

 

Not really much more than other turbo back setups. I got mine from UR and it was $1100. Both seem to be good prices for a good setup.

 

I guess I'm comparing to dealership who was going to install the UR TBE for ~$1100, so I'm paying a few hundred extra. But definitely not ridiculously expensive.

 

Do it yourself and save some more!!

 

No garage, and the streets have not been swept yet. Pretty tough to do at my current place.
