Agreed.. Just opened mine and the tips are retarded big.

Yupp! My installer said the clamps it came with were terrible and messed with them for over an hour. Other than that the fit was just OK. The tips are a bit misaligned but I can live with it for now. I can post up some videos later.

But the tone is deep, not too quiet but by no means loud and no drone.

I just got the CNT racing exhaust, very well made and constructed(impressive for the price) Better quality then I've seen come though with some other exhaust in my shop. I agree the tips are big! They just make it in the back of my JCW aero Kit. But, Sound quality is perfect for a daily driver. It's deep, loud when you want it to be, very similar to the Invidia. Good choice if you don't mind the huge tips, and great value.

I have this exhaust... it works fine... nice high flow... not too loud BUY BAND CLAMPS TO CLAMP THE EXHAUST!!!!!!!!!! i cannot stress that enough i lost the stock shitty clamps driving within 2 days...

i had sound proofed my trunk to get the drone down (note i am cattless so i will create a lot more noise then a stock down pipe)

Fitment was good i did the entire thing in about an hour using a jack and jack stands and a creeper

+111!! for the new Clamps. The clamps it comes with are junk. I have no drone and the sound is perfect for me (I'm stock). Not too loud, not too quiet.

That looks kinda close, the heat will eventually warp your valance or flake your paint.

Ok relaxlol. From the angle on the pic that was posted it looks like its right up against the valence. Ive seen alot of muffler tips melt to bumpers around here, then again they were fart cans on Hondas lol. Im not trying to shoo anyone away from getting this exhaust. Im actually looking into it myself. You cant beat that price.

Right.. I was being facetious. It is quite close, but I've been keeping a close eye and no problems so far.

Cool, I just wish the tips weren't so large. Still might get it.

What is a reasonable price for a catless DP?

Are there any concerns with emissions testing etc? (i live in TX)

Can local muffler shops hook this up?

I was also wondering about dp's and this cat back. Can someone who has both tell me who makes the dp they are using, and did the cat back have any fitment issues with the dp?
