Wow you're right, those resonators really do their job well... I'm really surprised with the little amount of rasp in the video

edub370 10-25-2012 08:03 AM

they really do. considering i am running straight tp's as well

cheshirecat 10-26-2012 02:40 PM

Pretty happy with mine. Running with ART pipes- zero rasp. Tone is very controlled but aggressive @ wot. Good for a daily driver.

Of course, you have the issues with it clearing the rear sway, but just ended up wrapping it and called it a day.

Oh what that's with non resonated test pipes? Holy crap lol..

@cheshirecat do you mind posting a sound clip of yours with the ART pipes? :)

cheshirecat 10-26-2012 05:40 PM

i'll see if i can take a decent video soon. tropical storm rolling through right now so too much wind to get anything other than an in-cabin.

edub370 10-27-2012 08:19 AM

I also might be able to get another vid today. I know i already have one, but there still aren't many vids online if this system

edub370 02-23-2013 12:22 PM

Thread necro.

Realized i never got around to updating this post with dyno numbers. See sig for numbers. (pulls done with tp's, injen intake, and tune.

So while I had the car up in the air to do camber arms, I figured I'd follow up with a long term review of this exhaust since it seems we don't get too many long term tests on aftermarket parts. After about 5 years about 20k miles it has held up fantastically. I couldn't expect any more from an aftermarket system, much less a $600 one. The tone has changed slightly. It's a little more on the raspy side, but not much more volume. I have only seen a tiny bit of surface rust on the hangers but none on the rest of the system (welds included). It hasn't developed any rattles or leaks, and the fitment is still spot on.

here's some pics of it's current condition

honestly i'd still recommend this system for anyone wanting a good exhaust on a budget. this is still one of my favorite mods and i have no plans to change it any time soon.

PSA: keep your exhausts clean and polished and any system can last you a long time

Wow thanks for the follow-up !

I had one on my 2011 (RIP) and I still miss it. The previous owner of the '13 had already put an Invidia exhaust so I didn't see any reason to change it out... but I liked the CNT more.

Thanks for the follow up review edub370. I have just ordered this (accidentally with blue tips, oh well) and look forward to installing and hearing!

It wil be interesting to see how this sounds with my Berk HFCs. Previously I had Top Speed axle backs and it was just to loud in the cabin...maybe similar to your short tails scenario. Really hoping this is nice for a DD.

Posting your experience with this has been helpful. :tiphat:

Yup, I'm digging this setup. Good sound, zero drone, beautiful materials and finish, easy install.

Will you be happy? I don't know. You really have to hear this stuff in person. Sound clips just don't work. Keep in mind, if you have (or don't) test pipes or high flow cats that can significantly affect the cat back sound too.

CNT is local to you, aren't they? I thought they were in the DFW area. Maybe they can help?
