My CP-E Dual Catback Review

I received my exhaust last monday and installed it that night. I had one stuck nut that a dremel took care of and a little trouble with getting the driver side muffler into the Y pipe so it could be clamped. The clamps help with adjusting the tips where you want them, this was the first time I have had an exhaust with clamps. Not sure if I like them or not, I had to use a C-Clamp to get the hole more rounded to fit them up. The rest of the install was easy and straight forward, the exhuast even comes with directions like my test pipe did.

Install/Fit - B+

The quality of the exhaust is great just like the test pipe. There are CP-E engravings and plaques welded on that give the pipes and tips this cool quality look. I also like the off gold color instead of a straight silver. Plus this exhaust didnt break the bank =)

Quality/Value - A

The sound of the exhaust is really nice, very low and grumbling. It is pretty loud when accelerating and very loud on WOT. On highway speeds 60 -75 there is no drone, just a low hum. The highway thing was a big deal for me since I travel 22 (44 total) miles on the highway to work each day. So far I am really happy with the sound, I will have to wait and see if I get pulled

Sound - A

So overall I love the exhuast, pretty happy with my choice. I included some pics below, sorry for the quality, the flash couldnt quite make it to light up everything.
