Question about B-Pipe

I'm thinking about getting the Comptech B-pipe next, but I wasn't sure if I had to have the Comptech exhaust. Can I use it even if I have HKS? I tried searching for an answer to this but I found nothing. Any help on this is greatly appreciated!

Check with CompTech. But I would think that the CT b-pipe would work with the stock exhaust, since the stock b-pipe works with the CT exhaust.

yes, if your HKS mufflers are direct bolt on.

Read through this thread (pages 1-3). It will tell you everything you need to know about the CT b-pipe (pricing, reviews, pics, dynos, etc...).

Well you need to take into consideration that I am Supercharged and this is the first Exhaust modification I made to the car..

and Yes it made a Difference in Sound and performance.... now it REALLY sounds like a JET engine when I jump on it...

I'm surprised you guys would buy another exhaust over the Comptech, especially if you want their b-pipe.
For the CL, Comptech should always be the first choice, unless you are only into appearance, just my humble opinion.

IMO, the HKS sound much nicer than the Comptechs. And also IMO Comptech should not be the only first choice...I'll prove to you later on why.

I was considering this also, mounting my Dragers to the Comptech B-Pipe since Greddy doesn't sell their B-Pipe separately.
