I saw that thread before and I also saw a few other thread talking good things about it. I would like to see more pics, to see how it looks installed. I seen a few pics and so far I like it, but I would also like to hear from people that have it install.

I have a Cobb TBE with HFC. It seems well made. I watched the install and it seemed to fit well. It is louder than stock, but not greatly so. Sounds good - for a 4-banger. I read the above thread a couple days after I got it installed and am just hoping that I don't have any welds cracking etc. in the future. Time will tell.

I have the DC sports downpipe and just recently switched to the Cobb catback.. I'm very impressed with the quality, and the sound is great.. decently aggressive, but well within noise levels for daily driver use (like mine). I reccommend it highly! I also like that the tip is a little more refined.. nice piece all around.

I know this is hearsay, but Perrin works very close with Cobb on the exhaust systems (and other projects), they had nothing but good things to say about Cobb's exhaust... and they even have their own exhaust!

I have Cobb with HFC on a JDM bumper. Perfect exhaust, nice 3" TBE all the way without any tapper.

I know this is an old thread but I'm thinking about getting the Cobb TBE and came across several threads with people reporting fitment issues, resonator cracks, etc. (See links below).

I'm trying to figure out if these were exceptions or if there are really some unresolved issues with this exhaust. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

I installed the Cobb TBE w/cat last October. It fit perfectly with no "tweaking." I love the sound: not loud, no droning. I am a little concerned about the number a reported cracks in the resonator weld, so I'm keeping an eye on it. No problems all so far.
Frankly, I like the exhaust system so well that I wouldn't hesitate to get it again.

So far I love mine and have not seen any issues, it has been like 6 month since I got it. Fitment is almost perfect, I did the instalation at my house and it was easy. Take a look at this link of my installation: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...lled-pics.html
