I bought the DTH center exhaust. I like both exhausts, the BPP sounds mean as hell, but the DTH sounds more high end. Just personal taste. Funny but it sounds nicer than my SLK, imo.

Original DTH for me...

DTH single-tip....

-good performance
-good quality
-easy install
-easily changed-out (...back to stock) if you opt to sell the car.

It's a nice product, and very lightweight. When I received the box, I thought it was empty.

I just posted pictures of both exhaust systems, The BPP was too loud, I could not enjoy my music. The DTH is a little bit quieter and looks better. The BPP weighs 12.5 lbs and the DTH weighs 10 lbs. I lost 3-4 mpg using the BPP, from 38mpg average to 35 average. I will let you know what the DTH is after a couple of tanks.

I have the DTH single and I like it a lot. It's pretty easy install, even for a guy who hasn't been wrenching cars for the last 2 decades - took me about an hour.

I don't know if performance really is enhanced or it just gives that perception. I challenged my buddy in his DB-9 but he was too busy laughing to find the gas so I guess we'll never know if we would have had proof...
Needless to say, it's fun, it gives an attitude uplift and, for that alone, is well worth it.

The only "con" is that is does interfere a bit with listening to music on your "premium" sound system. I've only had mine on for about 8-900 miles and some on the forum have said that it mellows out a bit as it gets broken in. If that's true then that only "con" will drop in significance.

Buy the 4smartcar DTH dual tip!

It is the same power as the single tip DTH with far less noise.
