I just got T/S CBE, T/S Ypipe, and the cheap test pipes. I ran just the cbe for a couple weeks. It had a nice deep tone but wasn't too much louder than stock. The mid pipe was just hanging too low and was vibrating against the cross brace so I cut a chuck out of a rubber mud flap. We will see how long it last.

The test pipes definitely changed the sound. Much louder.

I had the same issue with the midpipe hanging too low. Had to get a few metal clamps and pull it up more using the exhaust hangers. Definitely a little to be desired in regard to fitment.

The muffler tips were also too high and rubbed against the bumper. Had to put in about half an inch of washers along with longer bolts on the rear two muffler hanger mounts to drop it enough to clear.

The sound is a little loud for my taste when coupled with the Motordyne ART pipes. Considering going back to stock until I find a replacement.

It's quiet enough at cruising speed, but anything past half-throttle is loud and borderline obnoxious.
