I have only bought a couple of things from you guys, the prosport gauges, Alta gauge holder, and your 2.5" exhaust. A couple of comments:

1.The gauges are great and I get compliments every time someone looks at them. I recently drove another Mini without them and it felt weird with no gauges.
2. I love the exhaust, I love the one sided design, I love the sound, but unfortunately what I don't love is the resonator dying on me as well as not fitting dead even through the exhaust hole in the bumper, so my mechanic ended up welding a metal bracket from the exhaust to the battery box, its not that bad I just wish that it would be straight and wouldn't wobble around from the beginning instead of having to now shave some of the plastic down because it melted a little bit from the exhaust. I also started to get a strange rattle from the exhaust a couple months ago and thought it was the pre cat on my header. So I swapped my header but the noise was still there and got worse as time went on. As I researched a little bit I found that this is not an uncommon problem as well as the fitment not an uncommon problem. So I called you guys a couple weeks ago and customer service couldn't have been better, I got through right away got help with my problem right away, but unfortunately found out there was only a one year warranty on the exhaust and I have had it for about 2 years now. I got a great price on the exhaust piece but I feel like it shouldn't have died after only 2 years on my stock header. I know you have now switched to a different exhaust design, but I am worried the other resonator/muffler is going to deteriorate. So overall I'm not too happy about the maintenance on the exhaust but understand with modding cars things like this happen. I do want to commend you on your customer service though, it is top notch.
