Got my Icebox today from Comptech!

Made the order a few weeks ago and got it today. Nate kept me very informed and up to date on my order, he even shipped it for free for the 2 week wait. He also gave me a really good deal on a used B pipe upgrade. They wont be making those anymore, so he sold me the one they had on there Blue CLS for 175.00 i recieved tracking info for that and will be getting it tomorrow. Nate was very very helpful with me. Just spreading the word on my great experience and customer service i had with him. This is also notice to everyone they are shipping parts now!
Heres a few pix!

From what I've read, you only get a change in exhaust note, but not much power gains, unless you're FI.

When combined with intake headers & the mufflers you will see about a 5HP gain, from it.
I never got 1 cause of the price, & the fact it adds noise to the exhaust system.

I got my b pipe today. I think it sounds great. Its just a little bit deeper sounding than with the stock b pipe on there. Felt a little boost in HP but mainly got it for sound and better looks and durability of stainless, plus i got a smokin deal on it.

Some have experienced a droning with the B-pipe. It definitely makes the system breathe better with FI. In addition to the performance, I like the looks of it under the car

It does have slightly more drone to it, but hardly at all. Plus if your picky about that, the quite tip inserts im sure would take care of most of it. But good luck finding one now too, Comptech isnt making the B pipe upgrades anymore. Mine is the one they had on there prototype CLS 6. So if you want one, its most likely going to have to be a used one from someone.

I dont know why they are parting out that car, someone would have bought as is with everything on it. I loved that car, matter of fact I have a video of it that im going to watch now and might upload it for you all...lol

Good video. Had to watch it a second time though, but this I ignored anything he said and just listened to the car as it drove by the camera. Krazzer just seemed out of place reviewing the car.

For some reason the tie down would not fit back on. The icebox got in the way...I think maybe i need to move my battery over a little bit, because the icebox is exactly where its supposed to be. Any suggestions? And thanks for the compliments!

Not quite. It goes from the cat but it goes directly to the mufflers. There is no other "Y pipe".

the clamps you could probably get cheaper elsewhere though IMHO.
