aFe Exhaust on R56

I searched the forums but could not find any reviews of the aFe exhaust on here. So, does anyone on here have an aFe exhaust on their R56 S? I heard a sound clip and it sounded pretty good, but some real world, first hand experience would be appreciated.

Not interested in "power" gains, just interested in sound reviews, fitment, droning, exct.

Thanks in advance!

for a little more, get the invidia system, its gonna be easier to install since there is no cutting, just unbolt the exhaust and bolt in the new one

if you dont mind cutting get the OBX, its cheaper than AFE and sounds a little cleaner since its resonated

We haven't had anyone get the Afe exhaust yet since it is just a rear muffler section.
For similar money you could def get the Invidia exhaust and have a complete exhaust.

Good to know! Just the feedback I was looking for.

Thanks Way, didn't realize the aFe was just a rear section, I'm looking for a complete catback. I'll search for some sound clips of the Invidia to help make up my mind.

I can't imagine the reviews are very good but, does anyone have feedback on the CNT Racing Exhaust? For the price, I can't imagine the build quality is very high. After searching a few sound clips, it sounds pretty mellow for a full catback.

Thanks for the advice.
