You shouldn't need anything, but sometimes there are missing bolts or whatever. I've gotten exhausts in the past that were missing a bolt or a gasket.

Just ordered my TDX CBE from Tony today, #313!!! anyway I have to weekend to finalize my order. I'm still on the fence between Test pipes (Straight up no resonator) and or long tube heads. BTW I'm thinking of going test pipes without resonator. Anybody tried or heard that set up, TP no resonator with TDX CBE no resonator with SS mufflers? every opinion welcome, thanks.

UPS dropped off my 18" CFE package yesterday, and I had them put on today. Everything went on without a hitch, only issue was that the left rez is hanging slightly lower than the right, but the tips line up fine, so we let it be. Install took almost exactly an hour, with plenty of chit-chat and storytelling by the mechanic (probably 40 minutes of actual work). Figuring out how to get the car up on the lift without cracking the side skirts was probably the slowest part of the whole thing, ha ha.

Anyway, the exhaust sounds GREAT, and I'm very happy with the purchase. Not sure what people mean when they say there is highway drone, the system really isn't much louder than stock. It has way more bass and sounds awesome, but it's only a bit louder (at least with the 18"). I can definitely feel the HP gain with my "butt dyno", I'm going to have to force myself to chill for the next few days... 0-100 comes a lot faster than it used to.

I'll post some pics over the weekend.

Thanks Tony!

the ones in youtube are pretty deep and loud... but you say yours is barely louder than your stock?

Sibze · 04-15-2011, 09:32 AM

I have 18" res, mine are louder than stock

ryanboy · 04-15-2011, 09:35 AM

This thread from Triple's should be a good indicator of the exhaust note you'll get Ryan. It sounds great indeed. Only difference he has the Berk HFCs, your setup might be louder since you are going with headers.
