Inside the car, windows up.

That was a 10mph to the top of 3rd run with 3 people in the car, and some parts in the back seat.

I love how this thing sounds :)

What do you mean reving so low? I'm shifting at 6400 at WOT.

What I'm saying is that it seems like the sound is low and torque like. I'm not saying it sounds bad at all trust me! I'm just comparing the sound to mine, which seems to be much louder with the factory DP back. I need to get a sound clip. What did you use to record it?

My buddy Ron used his Palm Pilot.

I'm sure the low, raw sound is from the uppipe leak I've got. I need to get a new uppipe/set of headers.

The CES kit is AMAZING. I just need to have my mechanic shorten and slightly bend my test pipe so the exhaust sits properly.

Oh, I bought Matt's old system. He got a new system, so I bought his old one.

I have the bling bling axle-back though. It's nice :)

damnit! lol, I have an email sent already to CES but I'm wondering if they ship to the US and how much that shit will cost me. Do you know of any US dealers?

Motor Sport Resources (MSR) is the US distributor:

I STILL haven't gotten a reply from MSR though :(

I really do hope they are alright...

Yeah, me either. Maybe one of us should give them a call.

no reply from msr so I'm getting one direct from CES. They informed me that the sedan turbo back will fit the wagon with no modification. I'm getting the ceramic coated DP and most likely the full stainless from the dp back. I think they offer a mild steel dp back but why the hell would anyone buy that? Well they seem very nice over at CES, I'm waiting for a price on what I want and will be ordering next week. We have 2 people on here with the full system yes? hopefully a DP back system with no cat will help out my total lack of torque I feel that I have.

Actually, I think there was 4-5 of us. Me, BAC5.2, Georryan, Klienkid and someone in CO. I'm not sure who the CO persons screen name is though.

Did Trevor at CES give any indication as to why MSR isn't responding to e-mails and PM's?

by magicmike
nope, The last email I sent to Trevor was basically telling him that I have not heard from MSR and that I would just deal with him. Hey its all coming from the same place, if there is a chance to cut out the middle man and maybe save a few bucks I'll try

There were out of the country until recently. I just got an email from them yesterday. I was waiting for a response on my crosspipe. My CES crosspipe replacement seems to be leaking and was wondering if they could replace it for me.

I know the CES exhaust is expensive, but it is VERY nice. I would definately recommend it. The guys at msr are awsome as well. Very helpful and extreamly friendly and eager to help.

From what they said, Trevor, the designer of the system, spent over 10 years perfecting it. They also said that although there are better systems were bang for your buck are concerned, you won't see a system that gives you more power over the whole rev range than this system.
