Default creative compacts cat-back

Has anybody installed this on their car yet? I was wondering how it sounds and if there are any gains.

I was thinking about getting the one without the cat since here in SC there aren't any emissions laws in the way.

I got the same setup as yellot00tr installed, it sounds great below 4k rpms. Very deep and quiet. Sounds very similar to the TRD only not as loud. Above 4k there is a rasp that sounds terrible. Great performance though, the gain feels like the header when I first put it on with the trd, so this feels like it added what the alphawerks header added. I am hoping a mandrel bent s-pipe will take away the rest of the rasp. I took my car to a muffler place to have the tip shortened by two inches and he came out of the shop 10mins later and asked my what the hell that stuff was b/c he had trouble cutting it.

Its a very nice kit with good performace gains but its not the missing link for those who have header plans.

without a header the exhaust sounds really nice and deep but not too loud. the header makes it a lot louder....now mine sounds raspy because the cat broke in the megan header. i know that the alfaworks doesnt make it sound any better....probably should go without the header

any muffler shop should be able to add a resonator, CC should offer one as a header solution.

heh no probably not like a 350z, but if youve got your hands on clips of TRD exhaust + CAI setups it sounds like that but deeper and quieter and with more bass note if that makes any sense.
