My CP-E 3" Quick Power Pipe with High Flow Cat Came in today
Super happy with what I am seeing, looks like a very high quality part. I love the laser etched CP-E plaques, very nice touch. Also, the pipe came with install instructions and tool requirements, I thought that was a very nice inclusion. This is their test pipe with a high flow cat added, I also had them add an extra bung for a wideband. I will try and take some more pics once I install it. My AEM wideband should be here tomorrow, so I hope to install it this weekend.

I got the pipe installed yesterday along with my AEM wideband, I have included pics of how I routed the wires in case anyone needs help. Install went pretty smooth, the downpipe bolts were a major ***** of course. Heating them by running the car, PB blaster, and a metal pipe on the wrench was the my combo to get them off. Part went right on no problems, I would suggest putting the wideband in before fitting the pipe since there isnt much room against the heat shield. I had to bend the metal peices around the DP flange, but from what I have read this is normal with almost all exhaust installs, i just used some vice grips, simple stuff. I noticed an immediate difference when driving, spool seemed quicker and butt dyno said faster =)

I didnt want the smell and I also didnt want to have to swap pipes yearly for inspection. I run high flows on my Z as well, they flow great, I will take the slight drop in HP for conveinence and to stay legal. Plus I love mother earth *****es.....ok thats a little bit of a lie.
