I've decided to get CP-E since I will be getting the CP-E downpipe anyway, and especially considering the difference in power gains between CP-E TBE vs Corksport TBE (I called CS, and they confirmed that their claimed 19hp and 5tq gains are for the entire TBE).
 
Are you saying that because CPE claims more horsepower than CS, that the CPE actually puts out significantly more power?

And they are in Oregon or Washington or something and I'm in florida...

They are in Vancouver, WA. Just a short drive from my house. I feel so blessed. I even visited them today and left $890 lighter.
 
Well, I guess, that's what I'm saying.

Dont get caught up in dyno numbers. I think the CS unit sounds very nice, while the CPE catback didnt sound too great, too 4 bangerish for my liking. the CS has more of a deep rumble to it.

The Magnaflow muffled systems sound nice, too.
 
My exhaust arrived today, and two hours later it was on the car. Install was very easy save for a bump I had with compressing the spring. I don't hear much difference in sound yet, but I didn't really drive yet, and I also should wait for a few days for the ECU to adjust. I made a clip of my stock cbe before I took it off so I coud compare the two. Will post a video in a few days.
By the way, what is the fair price to ask for a stock cbe cut in one place?
 
I think someone on the other thread confirmed that only muffler and the tip are stainless.
As far as Greddy is concerned I have no info on that.
