I have the cc pipe. I'll be installing it (finally, after a month of sitting) next weekend in conjunction with a Megan Header. I'll let you know how it goes.

There have been fitment issues with our most recent batch of s-pipes and the problem was that we built 17 of them in one day and forgot to drill out the holes on the flanges. Those who received those have already been contacted about how to correct the fitment issue.

Other than that, they have been very successful and show a noticeable power gain especially when coupled with a catback exhaust.

We have two s-pipes available: for mild-stainless flanges retail is $175 and for stainless steel flanges in $200. They are both 2.5 in mandrel bend.

Once again, we apologize for the most recent issue with our s-pipes, it was an error and lessons have been learned...check and double check!

thanks,

Keisha
