Alright that is good to know. I was going to get the CP-E but for the HFC and with the bungs it was over the price of AMS so I just went with that. Also the AMS piece is straighter so I figured better airflow anyways.

It is funny I'm in a very small town with no turbocharged cars (only other is a srt4 Neon) and I get all these funny looks from all these guys with trucks with straight pipes. Got asked at the gas station if it had a V8. I said yes hahaha

I'm bringing the car back to the shop in a few hours to show them the problems
I used a 17 or 19mm oil drain plug w/ a brass crush washer to plug the secondary O2 bung on my dp ... works well. Got the plug at Kragen auto-parts.

Brought the car to the shop and the plug had come out. They put in a new one and no more leak. This exhaust is loud though.... not sure if I like it this loud.

Definitely one of my favorite aspects of the CP-E, sounds like you're packin' more than a 4-banger under the hood. The HFC should really bring out the deeper tones for you, too.

I looking forward to getting it and for the little extra power. But unfortunately they are on backorder so I have to wait a couple weeks for it.
