Exhaust question. Anyone have experience with this kit?

Hey everyone, I posted this under the 'official' exhaust thread but got no answer, hopefully someone can help me out. I found this: http://www.topspeedauto.com/ProductC...idproduct=2685

I wanted to know if anyone else has had any experience with this kit. It looks quality built and from the video they have on Ebay sounds pretty decent.

Any thoughts, horror stories, bad experiences, good experiences to share with the group?

Looks like another OBX knock-off exhaust.

You will get what you pay for.

For a great low cost option, check with a local exhaust shop and see what they can put together for you.

Been there done that, most won't even touch my mini.

Cost isn't a huge issue, I just thought it looked like a decent kit, that might have the sound I'm looking for judging from the larger mufflers. If anyone has tried this thing out please let me know.

IMO http://www.stratmosphere.com/category/208 is the best. Amazing sound, and extremely good construction.

For reference, i have a Milltek and a good friend has the Strat

I found a invidia for a decent price and went with that. A huge part of me wanted to purchase the Top Speed one, and write a writeup on it for everyone, however my pocket cant take a hit on chancing something that isnt tried and true. I wanted the strat one pretty bad too, but decided to go with invidia. just cause of the price difference. Also Remus is is letting the sport versions of theirs go for about 900 shipped.
