CPe or ar downpipes

Currently I'm looking at ams website and noticing the roughly 125 dollar price difference in their hi flow carte downpipes. Anyone tried these products and if so which one is the best one for the amount of money spent

We have the CP-e at a great price. They also have a bell mouth design and mandrel bent. Made in the USA too. It's one of the best bang for the buck pipes for sure.

I have cpe catless downpipes, had them for about a month nothing bad to say about it. I had some ratling with the downpipes rattling i just wrapped them in exhaust wrap. Which keeps them cooler and also stopped the rattling completely.

CPE of course for the following reasons:
  1. Mandrel bent tubing
  2. Cast Bellmouth heads

This itself beats the competition

Yes yes, me getting the CP-E High Flow Cat downpipe version. I am not dreaded by the 5 hp difference.
