CPE catback installed on MS3, my thoughts.......

Well, Let me start by saying that I'm not totally dissapointed with this exhaust, but I have to say that I believe I paid too much. This is only the second cat back bolt up ive had, (Greddy SP on my 95 delSol VTEC), Usually I have done universal mufflers with larger piping at a great local exhaust shop. The quality of the Greddy far surpassed the CPE and so did the sound. I dont expect huge gains from any mod, so not feeling anything doesnt surprise me, the backpopping is what irritates me. Also, and this is not CPE's fault, but on the site, it doesnt say anything about having to hack up your stock exhaust in order to bolt this thing up. It does bolt up beautifully, very easy install, but holy crap, A one peice stock exhaust is a very big pain to uninstall. Luckily my brother had a saws-all handy in the garage. An overall decent exhaust, but not for over $600 bucks. Even the muffler is another aftermarket piece with their CPE badge weilded over the original manufacturers badge, come on. Save some cash and just have a local shop switch out your stock piping with 3" and a flowmaster muffer, have a beer and call it good. BTW my other mods are a custom CAI and greddy RS BOV(recirc). I'll post some pics later, and, if somebody explains how, I can get some video up as well.Im a noob to video posts
