It looks like an Invidia knock-off...

I really like the looks of it. but I'd like if it were louder / raspier.. I'm trying to decide what to do with my factory exhaust too. If I got this I'd probably try deleting the resonator.

LemansM - I'd love to hear another video of what it sounds like. It's hard to tell a different in sound between the stock and CNT exhaust on those dyno videos.

Catbacks dont make power.

They buffered their numbers on their dynos and I even called them out on it and they refused to comment.

Should just have a nice custom one built for $200-$300 at a shop.

i just got mine yesterday and one thing that i didnt quite like is the size off the tips , they are huge, i really hope they fit under my rear bumper cutout or i will be returning it for a invidia. im sure they dont make the hp they said but im more concerned about the sound :_)

Perfect sound is a catless DP and stock exhaust. Quite when you want it to be and loud when you are on it.

I always thought this might be the case, what catless dp did you use with the stock exhaust? Or did you just make it?

I have a riss racing catless dp got it for $100 in the marketplace.

And catless DP gains = ~15whp with tuning
Catback = none.
