I have been running the CT test pipes for about 8 months now. My first impression when I put them on was the additional throatiness of the exhaust note at idle. I would liken it to adding surround sound speakers to your home stereo...suddenly there is just more sound all around you...nice! At speed, the exhaust note has a much raspier edge to it. It's more aggressive and a good bit louder. Personally, I like it...alot!
I had several people ask me what my exhaust setup was while at NSXPO so I guess they liked it too.
