Oiy, so tempting to get new exhaust. Damnit, I bought the MS3 to get AWAY from a loud exhaust and here I am wanting to go aftermarket again.
I await the vids tvissues.

here ya go kids, if the link to the individual videos don't work, just go to my cardomain page and go to page 4....
Ok, as some already know I am having some trouble getting the downpipe on so I have to have it cut on monday. In the meantime, I have already put on the cat back system to see how the system looks in place. I just have to compliment CP-E on their asthetic design skills. The tip looks extremely nice. It gives the same shiny glow as the tails lights, sticks out a little further unlike the shy stock tip that was scared to show everyone. I took a bunch of pictures because I just love how close to stock it is all the while screaming that cpe tone when its parked! lol Anyway, monday night I will comparison videos of the stock exhaust/downpipe and cpe's exhaust/downpipe. I will also have much more pictures of the downpipe installed since there is a lack of existance.
UPDATED!
OK kids, I've got her done and its lovely! The sound is great and very near stock at highway speeds. I can clearly hear the turbo spool but just for a second or two before that sexy smooth rumble overtakes the little highpitched noise. Finally, after a weekend of waiting to put it on, and a month of waiting for it, I am very pleased with the results. In all, besides the sound, the turbo spool response is almost instant. Also, incomparison to similar ambient conditions of the stock exhaust, on the highway I was managing about 2 mpg better on avg (trip comp: 28 stock/30 cpe)
The videos don't do it justice though... enjoy.
Stock tip (best I have, stock exhaust went flying into the dumpster so it won't be going back on!)
CP-E tip
