Comptech stainless steel cat-back exhaust sound?
How does the Comptech stainless steel cat-back exhaust sound on a Type-S? Feel free to reply with any other comments on this exhaust.

It'd probably be a little bit better with the B-Pipe which will replace one of the resonators... I only have the axlebacks.
But it isn't super loud or anything ... which is good depending on what you're looking for.

Thanks for the good replies guys. (except for the people who always need to post just to tell someone to search...I understand the search tool just fine and if I found what I was looking for this thread wouldn't exist) they can get a life and get out of my thread.

Does anyone have a full-cat back? How does it sound having the b-pipe also?

So... with all that has been said above, I have a question. If you were to add the CT B-pipe to a stock Y pipe and mufflers set up on a TL-P (dont worry, I have my ways of making it fit) would you guys think that "droning" will be present, or just a deeper tone...
I had a full catback (magnaflow) at one point and really could not stand it for more than a day, I want to increase some air flow, due to my mods up front. Considering the TL-P exhaust is a bit more restrictive.
So bottom line, I will be intereseted in doing this custom mod, if no droning is present, and I can obtain a slightly deeper tone, while gaining "some" perfomance.
Let me know your thoughts....

So you are saying use the Comptech B-pipe, then instead of connecting the comptech y-pipe, use the stock pipe and mufflers? You wouldn't pick up any noticable power. Not worth the effort or the money.
You can use the Comptech quiet tip inserts to remove the droan.

Yes, so... even though with the TL-P piping being more restrictive, you guys don't think that by adding the B-pipe to the stock mufflers will not yield any gains.... and the droaning will be inevitable... Is that correct?

Even with b-pipe and mufflers you'd only pick up 5whp.
The cost isn't worth it unless you want the sound, or you have forced induction/nitrous.

o an does neone else think the comptech b-pipe is a HUGE waste of money? u can always buy ur own piping and have a muffler shop weld it on or just have them weld their own piping for a hell of a lot less

As far as I can tell the only thing you would be changing with the comptech Bpipe would be their resonator that comes on it.
I had my experience with a full CAT in the past, and like I said before, did not enjoy it at all. So... do you guys think that maybe mounting the TL-S stcok exhaust will provide any gains at all, with a slightly deeper tone?
If so, I might consider that... I can get those around here very cheap if not free. I just feel like I have to some how complete my set up, due to my CT Headers and Icebox up front. So if the TL-S is more "free" flowing than the TL-P and I'm sure the type-s does not droan, that might be my best option... let me know your thoughts?
Thanks fellas!
