Yes, that is a correct reading, but its also 7 DBs lower than original. It was also read, immediatley after installation, so it should go down a bit once the exhaust packing is set. The drone is way down, if not very close to stock, there is a decel drone... but I think its expected with an...

One other thing I forgot to mention. To make the 12" Oval fit better and with no rubbing, the heat shield must be bent in a touch. The is plenty of room behind the heat shield, and all we are talking is a couple taps with a hammer to bring it in about 1/4" Jim

Yes, I have the DP w/Cat. Also, please note these tests were taken directly after installation. Once the muffler has been on a week or so it should get quieter. Lastly, I didn't notice any decrease in power, the 12" oval is straight through, so if anything it is very marginal. Jim

Thanks Musom, the more I look at this, the more I'm thinking the Dynashield/mat is going to be the way to go. Hopefully the 12" oval muffler will help a bit more than the two 14" resonator's you have. I still plan to have this done by Tuesday. LOL Whoever gets this car when I sell it in a few...

I feel the need to clarify myself here. I don't want this post to, in any way, bash CPE. The truth is, the exhaust sounds amazing and is built with the highest quality. But, with my work, I drive people around for lunch/dinner meetings and they are an older crowd. To respect them I am trying to...

Read my quote for the last DB levels bud, its all in there. Jim

Yup, and I'm too old for that noise, I really hope the 12" Oval Muffler will help. Drone is there as well, truthfully, it gets to the point of giving me a headache. Full plan is, 12" Oval addition on the right side. If that Doesn't help enough, maybe another 12" Oval on the left side with...

Yup, I have the same meter. I will do my tests with it ASAP, its snowing here and I'm trying to finish up work. I'll get em soon guys, hopefully today. Jim

Look at Musom using the $50 words. (rockon) If need be Musom, I can let you borrow mine, we aren't too far away from each other. Just let me know bud. Jim

The only problem I see with this part is that it is a 2-1/2" and the CPE system is a 3". The exhaust flow would be restricted and performance would suffer a bit from this. Just my $0.02. Jim

No problem Jordan, the system on the car right now is: A Catted Downpipe with a CPE exhaust and (1) 14" resonator. It is the 3 piece system. (confirmed earlier) Next tuesday, the 10th, I should be receiving a 12" Oval muffler from CPE. I plan to do a before and after for decibel levels. If...

Ok, well I have the baseline numbers finally... I'm sorry this took so long, I've been out of town for a long time. As I returned home, I stopped by and had the Catted DP and CPE exhaust put on as well. Nice power form both, but LOUD as hell. I spoke with Josh at CPE and he sold me a 12" oval...

Jdub260, thank you, that would be a great way to at least show the DB levels. I have one from my old racing days (Needs to measure DB for certain classes.) I'll double check that it stills works, and if not I'll go grab one from Radio Shack. (Thanks Gandalf). Either way, thank you for offering...
