Anyone switch from CBE back to stock exhaust?
 
Hi All, ...
I'm considering purchasing an aftermarket CBE ... likely Stillen or FI w/18" resonators since I'm not especially interested in loudness. My question is: After installing one of these CBEs, has anybody decided to switch back to the stock exhaust for whatever reason? If so, can you please share which CBE you had and the reason that you switched back (i.e., noise, drone, selling the vehicle, etc.)? Thanks in advance. I'll use the input to help me decide, in part, whether or not to proceed with buying the CBE.

I had a Berk catback with hfcs..and went to the setup I have now. Its close to stock sounding and the only reason I did that was so that I could prepare for headers. I knew for a fact that if I kept the Berks with headers, it would be unbearably loud.

To be honest, I had the FI 18" resonated catback and I absolutely LOVED IT!! I went back to the stock exhaust and it's very.. lackluster for a lack of a better word. I definitely miss the FI exhaust that's for sure.

By the way, there was nothing wrong with the FI exhaust. I loved it. I switched back to OEM because I'm awaiting a new exhaust to come in. Hint. Quad tips. ;)

If you're deciding on what exhaust to get, look no further than the FI 18".

I had the FI 18" Exhaust Carbon Fiber and my god what a world of a difference it made. It made the car what it should've sounded like and really woke up the car. Turned many heads and sounded just amazing. Once I took it off to get rid of my car, the stock CBE made the car feel like the life and soul got sucked out of it. Honestly the stock exhaust really ruins the car.
