Comptech exhaust on an automatic
I was thinking about getting the comptech exhaust on my auto TL. I wanted to know if it is worth getting it on an automatic. I do not want my car to sound too loud or anoying.

People seem to enjoy the comptech exhaust, but it's also a more expensive option. I am no expert or even a novice but a lot of people talk about a magnaflow system for less? Check it out.

Comptech installed their cat-back exhaust on my 04 5AT in July. There is a definite and very noticable drone in the 2000-2500 rpm range. However, the overall sound is much more aggresive than stock. I'm pleased with the results. The drone isn't quite as noticable when you have a 12" Kicker in the trunk.

I had to do some research on your exhaust after you posted your pic on the "debadged" thread. I was wondering how long you have had your Comptech on now and what your thoughts are of it at this stage. Do you have any concern about destruction of your Cat? Comptech's site posts "warnings" about using their exhause for "off road" and "track" only and not for long term driving (overheating or such). Have you seen anything? Also, what kinds of hp gains did you see, if any?

I have just installed a comptech exhaust on my auto. Not loud at all, good sound. When you get on it it is a deep sound, and it is awesome.
