Started the CBE install along with ERZ HFC's. Here's a pic of the CBE. Paid CDN$450.

The 5Zigen also has that resonator above the mufflers, unlike the Top Speed. Or am I mistaken?

I did not realize that Top Speed is a copy of 5Zigen. 5Zigen to the left, Top Speed to the right.

Ah, never mind. There is a Top Speed "silencer" exhaust, and a Top Speed "resonator" exhaust.

Here's a couple of pics of the install. The ERZ HFC's bolted up perfect. I left one original stud on each side and two new bolts/nuts. The used exhaust bolted up without issue. The single mid-pipe (70mm dia) with resonator cleared the midship crossmember by ~ 1/4 ". The rear exhaust tips are centered in the lower valance but the left side exhaust tip sticks out about 1/4" more than the right which is almost flush with the exhaust opening in the valance. I have not made any tweaks or bent any hangars for this install whatsoever. Actually, I think I will leave well enough alone. The sound is pleasing to my ears - low exhaust tone at idle barely higher than stock but sounds like an exoticar when accelerating. Definitely more throttle response and (seat of the pants) power. I'm am more than pleased with this setup especially for the price I paid.
