CNT cat back review w/ video

edub370

Purchase/shipping:wanted to buy a new exhaust and was choosing between the top speed pro 1 and CNT cat back. i decided to go with the the cnt cat back exhaust on july 25th because i had seen a good write up or two on them. it was delivered to my front door by july 30th (5 days). packaging was great and everthing seemed to be bundled up nicely. all gaskets, hardware, pipes, and tips were wrapped/boxed seperately. this is what it looked like after i pulled everything outta the box:


(cans on the wrong sides)


10 out of 10 for packaging



Installation: installing it was a breeze. it was actually easy enough that i could do it on my garage floor, by myself, with some jack stands and blocks without much trouble. all you need is a 13,15, and 10mm socket and about 2 hours of time. everything fit nicely and i never ran into any snags. (side note: welds and quality on this exhaust are AWESOME. how such an inexpensive exhausts maintains such amazing quality is beyond me!).adjustable tips ftw!




(welds are great!)

fit and finish: 10 out of 10



Sound: now i already have test pipes so this might be somewhat louder than anyone who is runnig stock cats or hfc's, but it still stayed pretty mellow, nice "stock-like" tone when cruising, but when you put your foot into it, it REALLY opens up and sounds great. gives it a great howl, but not overpowering and takes all that nasty rasp out and replaces it with that great vq burble. Also, my butt dyno indicates a lot more pull up top. this motor really wants to rev when you get that restrictive stock system off.

Great bang for you buck system. CNT is a great company to deal with, and all my emails or questions were returned within the day i sent them. plus you really cant beat 5 day shipping on a 72 lb package from cali to kc. go fedex! couldn't be happier with the system and would recommened anyone looking for a catback, no matter what the budget, look into this system. Now its uprev time!
