Whats a reasonable price for a shop to install a TBE?

 

[cgrahams]

Here's a few pics of the fswerks cat-back I just had installed. Really nice packaging, instructions, fit etc.!

He tacked a washer on this hanger just in front of the muffler to stop it from sliding right(passenger side direction)

Hi everyone.

Completed my exhaust system on Friday. I have been running with a CP-E catted down pipe for about the last month or so and yesterday my local exhaust shop custom made a 3 inch mandrel bend cat back system with resonator.
See the images and youtube sound clip.
Unfortunately I was unable to get any photos of the vehicle on the hoist so these were taken from the ground with the car on stands. My youtube clip is also a bit rough, I need a new camera.

Sounds damn good for a resonated...pretty loud but not annoying loud. Me likey.
Is it stainless? How much did it run you?

 

[Sekred]

Rear muffler is stainless with stainless wool packing, the rest is aluminized steel. It is louder than I expected, I was a little worried it would be too quite with such a large resonator. There is not neck-down to 2.5 inch at the down pipe outlet, this could account for the extra noise.
Cost, $800. You can see why I didn't go stainless.

Love the zip ties

Just curious since you spent that much on a custom, why didnt you buy the 2jr all stainless catback for $100 cheaper?

LOL, theres stuff all movement now. The support hangers are shorter too which adds further adds to the stiffness.

Well the main reason is I would have to import the system from the US, about $150.00 probably more. I would also need to modify it to fit the CP-E down pipe and then theres the chance of damage during delivery.

Oh didnt know you were in another country.

Cp-E is apparently right down the street from me. I might have to do their downpipe and exhaust.

Anyone have any sound clips for the Custom Performance Engineering 3" exhaust? Seems interesting how they just have a resonator and then no muffler but do have another resonation chamber in the back. Interesting technology:

Really considering ditching my DP for a catted one and removing my resonator.
Decisions decisions...

Hi Colin
Whats your reason for coming back to a cat.

 

[Colin1337]

Hi Colin
Whats your reason for coming back to a cat.

Im more than likely moving back to California, and they are insane about smog. Also I don't want to break the law anymore as I'm trying to be a cop, and they ask about stuff like this

 

[rodmoe]

Dang Colin ... You think a sport cat would pass ?? Tip my hat to your green side showing

I'm not worried about it passing or not (though I suspect if the car is running well it should have no problem)
I just don't want to say "yes I am knowingly breaking a federal law" the next time they ask haha
