Top speed dual cbe

synolimit · 06-22-2013, 02:35 PM

So on eBay there are 4 more titanium looking dual cbe's, oem style, no resonators, true X pipe, 63mm OD left. I got it for $425 shipped (which was surprising since the box was so big it must have been $100 to ship) because they said the X pipe was messed up. Well I was able to bend it out more 3/4" to fit the OEM cats but the flanges were then slightly twisted and didn't line up. So i cut the flanges about 2" in and had some SS 2.5" ID pipe that I used as a slip joint coupling. I also had to do it to one of the mid pipes as it was off. I also needed to add some washers for equal sitting of the tips but over all its perfect now and for $425 it's unbeatable! Me buying just the pipe, flanges, mufflers etc I would of been at $400 plus time to weld, make bends, go through sawzall blades etc. if anyone's interested there are more left. I'd highly recommend take it to a muffler shop so they can do some slight bends to make it fit perfect.

Over all everything else is very nice. I couldn't have tig welded it any better, it's true 304SS, it doesn't rub or hit anything, the inside flanges are ground down for smooth flow, and I still have the same resonators FI uses if its to raspy or loud. No real driving yet or pics. Ill post later.

After first drive...pretty shocked. Vids of any CBE suck, i don't care what camera you have or what sound equipment you got. They all blow. Hearing this in person I'm pretty blown away so far. It's extremely deep, no rasp, no drone in the 2-3k range (still stock cats which is probably why), and driving in 6th up to 2k its dead quite. Like stock quite! But o lord when you punch it, its loud and sounds amazing! When you start the car cold however when the motor is revving to 2k, its loud. Loud enough to wake the neighbors. But after a minute and you hit idle its quite again. The tips sit out about a 1.5" which im ok with becuase you either get a black bumper with flush tips, or no black bumper with extended tips. im ok with extended leaving my bumper alone. Overall on a 0-10 scale I give this a 9-10 for me because I like loud and deep and didn't mind the work. Again you can drive around quite if you want to! I think others will give it a negative since I don't think even a perfect one with a Y pipe will fit as well as I was able too therefore people are going to give it negative feedback because of the fitting issues.

As far as normal fitment...it doesn't scrape the ground, the pipes are high up and don't even come down below the level of the under car. The back muffle flanges to me even sit higher than the stock flanges and they still don't hit the rear cross brace bars. I'm pretty happy. Best $425 I've spent on a part while others are getting $&#%*^ at $1000 plus.

Slip joint I made. Didn't have my tig welder or SS wire so I just used exhaust paint.

Nice! yeah for $4xx shipped, its not a bad deal. Topspeed is right up the road from my house and I'm thinking of getting their exhaust (hks style) Any noticeable gains?

No idea. CBE add what like 10hp? That's pretty hard to feel IMO.

was gonna get this exhaust, but didnt want to go through editting it to make it fit.

Yeah but $400 vs $1000 plus??

Just to review more I'm obsessed with the sound!!! I drive around on back roads and longer ways home just to hear the sound taking off. It is by far the best sounding exhaust I've ever heard in person on a road car!! Now this also has to do with the nissans amazing v6 vs fart canned 4cyl but still! I can't get over how happy I am! I heard a gtr once with who knows what on it, in a down town area and about crapped my pants for how good it sounded. My car now is a dead ringer for how that car sounded!

Lol.

I just checked youtube. None really sound like mine. I guess I can try my ipad tomorrow. Maybe it being newer will be better than my iPhone 4.
