Bought one but changed my mind. I'm going with a long tube header, so it won't be needed.

I'm selling it for $300, thats over $100 off.

You're right quality is top knotch, by far the nicest downpipe available. Let me know.

Nope sorry, I was waiting for the header before installing. So I can't give you a review.

I'm so undecisive, If it doesn't sell I'm just getting the Hahn header. Either way I want my exhaust done by Oct. 14th, thats the last open track day here. If I do install it, I'll let you know how it is.

as far as I know one person paired it with the dezod exhaust which was made by random and he complained of the unit destroying the baffles in the exhaust and made it sound bad.

As always, any restriction that is removed will waiver either more performance or could possibly damage something. It boils down to the type of restriction removed and it provides any benefical postives for the car.

It's the same one Dezod has. Random makes the Dezond one, and $300 is a steal for it. I'd buy it, but I'm not sure what my overall plans are yet.

Like any exhaust even straight thru have some materials that can come loose or possibly be destroyed because of too much flow. My Round Magnaflow catback is straight thru but still have materials inside that can possibly be damaged.

I think that guy hurt the car shortly after he started playing with the CAT.

All it is glass packed steel most likely....it is not gonna break. It's like paper shredded steel wool.

Edit: I can see if it was chambered (like it collapsing or something......this is not the case)

Well it is still relatively new. All though we have sold a few units, no one has posted reviews yet. Let me know if I can be of any help.
