CPE Triton exhaust

[xorphanx]

So I love the way this exhaust sounds, I can't seem to find any sound clips of the exhaust with the added muffler option and how much quieter it makes the exhaust. I live in CA with the stupid noise laws and the "must have a muffler" nonsense... (i really need to move...)


is there any sound clips or videos of the setup with added muffler option?

[chaser27]

This came up a year or so I guess and I think at the time they had only sold one with the muffler option. There weren't any videos at the time. I doubt there have been many more sales since then

@sh4d0w; is the man and added a muffler similar to their muffler option. If you don't like your ears bleeding everytime you cold start it i'd recommend the muffler option. There's also some links in that thread to video clips with/without the muffler. Sound is basically unchanged with the exception of amplitude.
Got ticket for missing muffler need help.

I'll give it a look! Thanks for the info! I thought replacing all 3 motormounts at the same time increased a lot of noise, I wonder how much more I can handle lol

[nekret]

Honestly I did my three after the exhaust install and the motor mounts added enough cabin noise where i don't usually notice the exhaust and my Triton doesn't have the muffler.

I'll probably add the muffler to my Triton exhaust at some point but that will be mostly for my neighbor's benefit.

I asked the following question a few days ago and received the following answer:

Is the muffler a straight-through design, or baffled like the stock one (ie, would you expect it to cause any changes in flow or spool on larger turbos)? Thanks.

Whether you buy our exhaust or another company’s exhaust, it will be louder than stock no matter what the company may say. If you want to keep it quiet, we would recommend a downpipe and TMIC. Hope this has helped. Please let us know if you have further questions.

I appreciated CP-E's honesty in their reply and now I am making alternate plans for my CBE.

Thanks MD1032, I wish I didn't have to put a muffler on it but even so, I love the sound. It will also save me the headache of if I get a stupid smog station that wants to do a visual and won't see a muffler. Better to be safe than sorry.

Hey, have you looked into adding a Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonator? Just added one to mine yesterday cause the droning at highway speeds was giving me a headache on long trips.
Makes a world of difference but still maintains the aggressive tone

What exhaust mods do you have and where did you put the resonator?

I have a cpe turbo back. The resonator is on the straight right after the dp. I have mixed feelings about it. It definitely quieted it down andot rid of the drone and vibrations but I kind of miss the grumble 😭

[Jakeypoo]

I was thinking about doing the same thing. But I have both cats at the moment. So adding the resonator would be my test pipe.

Did it effect the sound at wot?

I just ordered my tirton CBE while it was 20% off, i'll be getting the CS catless racepipe. I don't think i'll mind the drone very much, but we'll see. I did opt to get the added muffler.

[nekret]

I don't think the cpe triton will mate up to anything other than the cpe or stock downpipes.

I thought the same and had inquired CS about it, I asked specifically if the racepipe they offered would fit between a stock DP and the triton CBE. If I get it and it doesn't fit then i'll just return it.

[nekret]

Weird, they must replicate the stock flange style.

you have the option for the stock flange or the 80mm flange

It still sounds beastly just less harsh at wot. I took my friend for a ride yesterday and he said it sounded sick, though he never heard it before the resonator install.

If you ever go to a 3" catless dp and rp, even into the stock CBE, the drone will produce severe headaches in a daily driver, especially when decelerating or cruising in the 2800-3200 rpm range. My solution was the Vibrant Ultraquiet reso welded into the middle of the race pipe. It is straight through design, so no measurable power loss, but is heavily encased in sound deadening material.

Result: Drone is gone. Power not reduced. Aggressive growl at WOT but without excessive volume. Win-win-win.

[xorphanx]

I'll definitely keep that in mind once I can get around smog laws

If you add the muffler to our tritton exhaust it is almost as quiet as the stock exhaust. There have only been 2 people that have opted for this option. Luckly I have been able to hear it in person. @rfinkle2; has heard it also, but that was a number of years ago.

Rob sold that exhaust to a friend of mine, who then sold it to another friend. @anodizedeeznutz; @Undertaker; and it sounds like pure sex without killing the whole neighborhood. I'd personally opt for no mufflers though.

That exhaust had the muffler removed when Rob sent it to me

Well then... it wasn't terribly loud for that. When you get on it, it's noisy but it doesn't have a ton of drone and is relatively quiet at idle.

[xorphanx]

I bought it with the muffler just to be on the "safe side" for california's gay laws, but I may end up just chopping it off. we'll see how things go once I get it installed.

[nekret]

If you ever decide to go the unmuffled route I'll trade you my unmuffled version!

I have the cp-e exhaust with the added muffler and I love it. I have heard a speed3 with a cp-e exhaust minus the added muffler and honestly it sounded raspy to me and it had a stock catalytic converter and a test pipe.

My car I am running a catless down pipe and a test pipe and it is loud but it is not raspy it has a nice deep unique tone to it.

I'll definitely keep that in mind. I'm sure i'll have a decision within the first week or so after I install it. What kind of testpipe did you go with?

Yeah i love the grumble of it, unfortunately i'll have to stay with a catted downpipe unless I
1. change the dp out everytime i need to get smogged
2. find a loophole on how to get around smog.... (highly unlikely without having bookoo's of bucks)

I went with the UR testpipe with high flow resonator. I'm just hoping it won't silence the thing completely If anything I can always get a straight testpipe later on if I want more, but we'll start the safe route first.

I run a UR catless down pipe and a UR straight pipe

[nekret]

I have a cpe catted downpipe which is a long downpipe so there is no race/test pipe to speak of.

One of the only exhausts without excessive drone, imo.

Does that DP pass smog? I know it won't pass visual but i'm not worried about that.

[nekret]

I don't have smog where I live and I really only went catted to stop boost creep.

#CP-Esavedmylife !

During my exhaust install, the bolts supplied with the UR TP were screwed up and weren't threaded correctly, luckily CP-E supplies two bolts, nuts, and washers that worked great! Real life saver for sure!

Also to include, when they suggest a "helping hand" as one of the tools.. they mean it, took me 5 hours to install the exhaust by myself without a lift. There was some troubleshooting with the Z-pipe to make fit correctly since it had a slight bend on one of the openings making it not round, but I managed to make it work!

[ryguy 3]

I installed the UR Resonated test pipe along with a Mazdaspeed Accessories Cat back and its quiet with the windows up but once they are down it sounds pretty good.

If your set up is too loud in the end i'd recommend the resonated test pipe.

[xorphanx]

I love my setup, I did get the high flow resonated testpipe along with the added muffler option on the CP-E Dual Triton exhaust. Sounds great!

[my2k13speed3]

I have the cp-e triton cbe with no muffler and a test pipe, I mean its loud especially at cold start but I've never been hassled by my neighbors or any cops and I live in a small quiet town in Cali

Edit: I plan on getting a resonated test pipe just because I commute 80 miles a day and would like it to be a little quieter

I'm also interested in picking up this catback but debating on whether getting it with or without the muffler. Any chance you could provide a sound clip?

I'll take a video for you after work and post it up.

I got the UR TP with high flow resonator, if you need help installing let me know. I'm about an hour and a half north from Mountain House, CA.

Hey Guys, just an update, I got around to finally taking a cold start video of the exhaust this morning, i will upload it tonight!
