Manzo/Beluga/Circuit Werks Exhaust

bloppitybloop · 11-15-2016, 01:15 PM

Anyone have one of the exhausts with catless dp's? How does it sound? Are these three exhausts basically the same. Seems like nobody has really posted about them recently. Thought about picking one up to try it out but don't want to go through the hassle if it's gonna sound like shit/ricey.

You can get the Manzo off Amazon for 400 free shipping. Yes, they are all the same. There are tons of videos on YouTube.

DP's are always sold separately from the cat-back
VRSF's DP's are not expensive and have great fitment

I was referring to the videos. Not DP's.

I have the Circuit Werks branded exhaust paired with AR Design catless downpipes. Sounds good from inside of the car, I haven't heard it from outside yet. I get comments on it all the time on how it great it sounds. It has a very deep sound, which took me a while to get used to. I kinda miss the high pitched BMW rasp (335is exhasut) screaming at WOT. But it doesn't sound bad. The welds are good but fitment isn't so good though.

I had one with VRSF DP's and the sound was great but the drone was unbearable. I think a few added resonators would have helped but in the future I would try something else.

As far as the fit goes, I didn't have any issues and the brackets left plenty of room for alignment. For $300 or $400 I wouldn't expect more but be aware of highway drone.

Hmm...the drone worries me and it would suck spending time and money on resonators if they didn't eliminate the drone.

I have catless dp's and it had an aggressive low tone growl. It appears they use the same exhaust mfg, re-branded, and sold as theirs.

I got the Circuit Werks with the burnt blue tips. It's quiet when idling. Some drone on the freeway but it was bearable. The system is too quiet for my taste. As for fitment, it lined up with the hangers. The tips had to be manually readjusted since one side was hitting the rear diffuser (Force bending it to shape with another pipe through the exhaust tip).

The H-Pipe evened out the exhaust pulses and sounded like an old school high revving V8 in a low tone of a way when going WOT. It didn't sound the way I'd like an inline 6 twin turbo should sound.

I ran this for about a year until I cut both mufflers out and replaced them with 2.5" pipes, then replaced the H-Pipe with a 2.5" Magnaflow X-pipe. Now it sounds very angry and a bit exotic. Just the way I like it. It now rumbles, pops, and gurgles. The back fires from the MHD mod sounds like a shotgun going off lol... Eargasm... YMMV

I found a lightly used beluga exhaust for $250 locally so maybe I'll take the chance on it.

If not shoot me that deal.

mojobmw_e90 · 11-24-2016, 09:58 AM

I have it with vrsf catless dp, it sounded nice from the start. But once it broke in it started to have a rasp at 4k and drone when causing and trying to pass people. Ended up buying 2 1792 vibrant resonators, but the original ones that were included with the exhaust and welded in the 2 new ones. Drone gone, rasp gone

Grand_hustle17 · 11-24-2016, 10:11 AM

No vids??

Sweet. If I don't like the way it sounds, I'll just get two resonators put in.

I owned a cobalt ss. Transmission exploded 3x in the same place with brand new oem clutch installed by gm dealer. Got a lawyer to lemon the car, have proof and all. Hired a certified mechanic who has all kinds of certificates and shit. Gm rep lawyer ended up using my forum username(I ended up getting banned after I sold the car) which had my car pictures, mods, and such on there along with a few 1/4 runs of me. At the time I was the 3rd fastest stock supercharger cobalt in the country. Used all that against me. Had vids of me racing, roll racing, and such. Ended up loosing the case because I raced the car
