Yet another Ebay exhaust

Just got it installed yesterday. $411 shipped & insured. The seller said he thought it was from the manufacturer of the Megan Racing system. It appears identical. Comes in a plain brown wrapper (just like Hustler!).
Sounds wicked under load, quiet at idle. A little obvious at cruise, but not annoyingly so. Very nice crackles & pops on lift-off.
Good fit, but I had to bend the front hangers down a little to fix a heatshield vibration. Also, the clamps are kinda crappy - they don't make a good 360 degree seal & I have a couple of slight leaks. I'm gonna replace the clamps with some band-style from Summit. Tubing seems extremely pliable & easily deformed, but looks plenty thick. It's supposedly all stainless, but I dunno what grade. The poliched mufflers really look nice from behind..
As far as performance goes, it seems to pull a bit harder, but I can't really say for sure. I recently pullied the car & the temp outside has dropped a good bit this past week, so who really knows. Sure sounds like I'm haulin', anyways...
Considering the prices of other systems, I'd say this is a good deal...

Pilo posted links to pictures in the first "Megan Exhaust" thread. They appear to be one & the same. And like his, mine was missing the bolt that holds the tips together.
