Mild drone around 3k, not really problematic.

I've seen 1 or 2 people have scraping issues like chris, but it's usually not that bad. I think it just happens sometimes since their build is pretty inconsistent. Sound is good though. Quiet until you're on it.

Yeah the scraping usually isn't that bad, just be careful going over low clearance areas like speedbumps. The worst damage was done on-track at Summit Point, driving their replica of the Nordschleife Karussell I was dropping in hard and throwing sparks.

I've driven over speed bumps, driven in downtown Seattle, driven up and down steep driveway and the only place I've scraped is at an intersection where the road has sunk a few inches because of the heavy semi.

You shouldn't not get the cbe because it may scrape. The guy who tested the cbe posted a video and wow that sound is what did it for me. Wish I could find that post. I think it was minicobra. When I hear videos of other cbe it sounds rasp, or high pitched.

It was Minicobra's post on this Forum.

My CBE was from the second GB. The only drone present is at 2K, but who runs the VQ37 at 2K?

At 3K the sound is gorgeous. Above 4K the sound is beast.

You can sound badass or you can slip right by the cops without a care with this exhaust.

scraping is a non-issue at stock height.
