Racing Beat CBE for MS3?

[Sport6]

Sounds decent, anyone want to take better shots of the tips? like if they stick out of the bumper, shot from directly behind the car. stuff like that.

and more sound clips so we can have them to compare to each other, each camera is different.

I'll take some more of the tips tonight/tomorrow.

OKAY it's official now, Copperkid and I just installed his CBE, he will write a full review in a few days. So far first impressions, not impressed with quality of welds, the expanded joint idea was not a good one, I only see the c-clamp style type attachements on cheap quality exhausts, I would have expected MUCH more from Racing Beat, say a spring system like what Tanabe uses. Now as for the Sound if you want QUIET this is as quiet as I've heard thus far.... well atleast it's QUIET after initial install, but we will know for sure in a week or so after the unit "breaks in" as my CorkSport did. so in conclusion, personally I would NOT purchase this exhaust for the $$$$ it costs, cuz of the quality of the welds and not a full polished unit and 2.75 ID pipe diameter, not that it matters, but for what you pay it REALLY should have been 3" ID. I'm glad I kept my Corksport, just the right amount of sound, not to loud not to quiet. but you decide, is the name worth 580 bucks??? OH and the tip doesn't even have lazer edging or some sort of logo plak.

Wow...tough critic.

That's a good review. If they cheaped out, I want to know about it.

So far, I love the sound of the exhaust. Super quite at cruising speed, not to loud on accel, little to no drone. I'll post a full review soon when the exhaust breaks in with pictures and video/sound clips.

Hmmm, seems like the quality has changed recently. The cbe for the p5 is probably one of the best quality on the market. I had my car up on a lift at a shop and all the mechanics were underneath my car talking about hoow nice the catback looked. They were very impressed with the quality of the welds.
I feel kind of bad that the speed3 exhaust isnt up to par... however like i said before, upgrade other parts of your exhaust system w/ the RB CBE, and you realize how great of a piece it is. You can go full turboback, and it wont be an obnoxious drony terrible sounding exhaust.

I think I'm just gonna stick to my stock exhaust. It's a pretty good exhaust after all.

[ottawaP5]

The tips look MUCH better from your pics.

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

They seem sorta thin walled, but it's quite an interesting look on the car!

 

[jlocurto]
