Got my CS exhaust on (pic)

Unfortunately, I didn't get a decent enough chance to test it yet:

Hopefully this snow storm will be over in a few days and I'll have a few pics/videos/sound clips for you guys.


PS. It really is ******* loud

Is it a dual or single tip exhaust? How much does it weigh?

It snowed about 3ft around my house (I live in Calgary too). Much more than what is shown in that guys pic. And the roof of a grocery store building collapsed, and like 6 people were rushed to the hospital in critical condition from shovelling their sidewalks.

I can take mine off in about 20 minutes(from jacking the car up and down).
Not very hard.
6 rubber O's to take off
2 rubber suspension pieces(with metal rings +screws)
a couple bolts and your done.

As for weight. I can carry mine with one hand and the stock took me both to carry it around.

If that's an N/A it's gonna be hella loud.

When you installed it. Did you get 2 3inch gaskets?
Instead of a correct size for your cat to catback segment.

Also was it a perfect fit?
The size of mine where it mated to the cat was actually
2 3/4 instead of 2 1/2 inches.

I think CS is back ordered on them for a month ATM. Probably going to be even worse when they release their full system.

Anyways, in that pic the muffler looks too close to the bumper. Id move it down a bit and center it.

Why would you remove a donut? I just push the exhaust pipe around until I can stretch it over the hanger.

It should not be too loud.
The cats act like a silencer.

What cats?

It's a single tip. The weight difference between this and the stock one is actually pretty drastic. I think the whole catback weighs about as much as a stock muffler.

I had someone else install it, but it took them 15-20 minutes. It bolted on just fine. And yeah, it came with two 3" gaskets. I wasn't looking when it was getting installed, so I don't know how it fit at the cat...also, I have a Racing Beat pipe/silencer combo instead of the cats, but that shouldn't have made any difference.

Took about a month and a half to get to my door. I waited about 2-3 weeks for them to get some more in stock and then it took a while to get shipped up here. But it was worth it, it's a really nice quality unit and costs next to nothing compared to other catbacks. FedEx charged me only $35cdn for duty.

Actually, it only looks too close in this pic as it's sloped upwards. It's about 2-3cm away from the bumper at every side.

As for the exhaust being to high, you can change those donuts and simply get a longer one from a local pepboys in their exhaust session. That should lower that tip down maybe out an inch or so. Hope that looks better

I got mine in like a week. I guess I got mine before the big craze too.
I was soo giddy when I got home from work and it was sitting in my living room. I instantly went to the garage and put it on. I finished at midnight since there was locked bolt on there.

Nothing like hearing that thing for the first time at midnight and taking it for a test drive! Hehehe, My neighbors must love me. :P

It is pretty centered on mine. It has a minor angle to it pointing a little to the outer side.

As for the damn Rubber donuts. Those things are bastards! I was yanking like crazy to get them back on.
I gave up on the rear and only have one holding the back in. I took the others out cause I didn't want them just hangin there driving around.

Just a quick update...I'll make sure to post some more pics and videos next week after a visit to the track:




The impression so far is that it's very loud, but still not as bad as it could be. It sounds really nice and as deep as anything else I've heard. It pops and rumbles at pretty much any rpm when I'm off the gas, and backfires at every high rpm change. The backfire is just a quick flash, not a continuos flame...which is good The above pics are screen caps from a couple of video clips, so excuse the quality.

Did you just start up your car and let the exhaust melt away the snow in the first picture? lol - I really hope you did not actually go to the trouble of shoveling it out of the way.

I think you just convinced me to go with this catback- I need to shed some poundage, and I already have the RB down/presilencer combo. I just think that big ole canal where the other muffler used to be might look a little strange...
