Just curious for those that have the Comptech B-Pipe installed, how much louder did the exhaust get with it? I have the comptech axle-back now.

 

i think RedRider has before and after dynos.


i would guess ~ 10whp.



oops, you asked if it would get louder. :o


i'm sure it does. again, Red would know.

 

Chap said that it got more of a drone on highway I believe, but he is NA. I'm sure with s\c it will get louder. but with forced induction it is definetly useful to open up that exhaust

 

Yeah after hearing a CL w/ just the CT Axleback installed, the full cat back exhaust does sound a bit deeper and on the highway the droning is a bit louder. Not that huge a difference though.

 

I have it on order, should have it early this week

 

Get a deal on it, or pay the CT price :shakehd: ?

 

Mine did increase cabin noise, but it is worth it. It does make the car sound more aggressive as well...very rumble like. Performance did increase. I don't have any dyno #s though maybe 5-6 Hp extra with SC and 2-3 with NA.

 

SOUNDS like a JET engine taking OFF...

love it

love it

love it

 

what exhausts do majority of you guys have prior to the B-pipe install? the CT axle-back?

 

The CT axle-back for me. Looks great on the car and no clearance Issues.

 

Headers, stock cat (for now), B-pipe and OEM 03 mufflers

 

Headers, B-pipe and CT Mufflers

 

Is the exhaust highly needed with S/C? Or can I go without?

 

I had the b-pipe installed before the S/C. The first thing I noticed is that the car felt more drivable; engine rev'd smoother throughout the rev range and there was a slight increase in mid to high-end torque. According to CompTech, it will make about 5-8 WHP gain on a S/C'd 6MT car and improve drivability. Ask Red Rider about the b-pipe. He had the b-pipe installed on his already S/C'd 5AT. I think he likes it...

 

With the CT exhaust and b-pipe installed, should make 10-14 WHP more, make car more drivable and let's not forget about sounding really nice.

I am looking forward to getting it....thanks for the responses.

 

does anybody have videos of this exhaust?

 

ok quick questions..
1) anyone have or can make a clip of exhaust with the bpipe?
2) for you NA guys with it, any notice to loss of low end torque?
3) how much more noticeable is highway drone?
