That does not help.

You should get skid plates welded on to the cans.

Tony, I appreciate the time you took for a great response.

I'm gonna talk to a shop and look into having it fixed with the addition of a skid plate.

I am on BC coils and not super slammed. I fight giant steel road blocks on a military base daily. Yesterday, the angle wasn't perfect and it raped my can.

Ouch

U may be lucky the steel hurdles didn't rip of half of your exhaust.
Best of luck with the fixing.

damn sorry man!

Fort Hood has the same above ground barriers that you speak of. If I were any lower, I would have issues with them as well. For future reference, try getting as close as you can to one side and let your outside tires ride over the knuckles that raise the barrier. You should clear that way.

Wait........are they the reverse spike strips or barriers?

Riptide67 · 01-18-2014, 10:43 PM

Barriers and I already use that tactic hahaha

IS there an option to have the 2.5'' tdx setup with the cats further away like in the 3'' version? I'm thinking ahead in case I get your system and also have plans for some kind of FI. I understand the the 3'' is preferred but from my understanding, the 2.5'' may be better for torque due to some back pressure. I'm just not a fan of gas fumes and would rather not have to small it or inhale it if I don't have to. Sure I sacrifice some performance but that's something I'm willing to do.

Anybody have a good idea how much louder the fi 18" is compared to the berk cbe?

I currently have the berk cbe and the tone is mild at low rpms, screams at high rpm / wot, and very mild cruising.

Other than cold start i think its a very mild sounding exhaust once broken in. Definitely screams at high rpms but not as loud as the non resonated options due to the lower tone (our ears are usually more sensitive to higher pitches when it comes to cars).

At idle they are both comparable. Our system may be slightly deeper. WOT throttle we will be deeper but I am not too sure any louder (outside of the car). At cruising speeds I think our system will be a little louder as well.

Thanks, Tony
