CP-E Quick Power Pipe installed

I've been driving around with this for the past couple weeks, testing it out. I can say nothing but good things about this! The engine just feel like there is more grunt and it comes on faster from a dead stop. I'm really starting to notice some wheel slippage now!

Do not buy this if you want good gas mileage, I lost about 3-4 L/100km (around 5 MPG I think). It's pretty much impossible do better than 14 L/100km (almost 17 MPG) driving around the city.

Exactly, you sure you are not driving the car harder now?

Is there a noticeable difference in turbo spool time? I am really thinking of getting a test pipe of some sort. How do you find the exhaust sound in comparison?

I got an MXP testpipe - resonated on my Ralliart and if there is a difference its very minor. Just slightly deeper (on stock exhaust). My sister says its quieter.

Did you notice a change in gas milage?

I know my scuby friends are getting good HP #s with similar parts but no ill effect on gas.

I gotta work out the CEL before I determine fuel efficiency. I heard with a CEL the car runs richer as a precaution

UPDATE

Well my gas mileage is getting better now. My check engine light came on for 1 day, and then turned off on its own. So far, still lovin' it!
