Read Carefully
From what I'm seeing on my side of things there is some very suspicious activity floating around here. After looking into our history on this, there appears to have been quite a bit of misrepresentation taking place. Proceed with caution.

UPDATE and Warning Regarding AWD_scooby and Boost Emperor
Base on the recent posts to this thread and what I saw behind the scenes last night regarding the accounts, AWD_scooby and Boost Emperor are the same person. Additionally we have confirmed that AWD_scooby on eBay and AWD_scooby on NAM are the same person. This person was using the accounts to pose as a "customer" of their own eBay auction. 
We take this type of misrepresentation very seriously. Both accounts have been banned and their posts have been removed from display on NAM. We will be following up with eBay later today.

SCAM???? RE: Invidia Exhaust
Just in case someone is looking for an INVIDIA exhaust on Ebay.. I saw this post by the same user_id that looked suspicious. I'm only posting it because if it's not for this thread, I would have already pulled the trigger on bidding. 
So please be careful!!!

So - where can someone actually buy one of these systems? ....I'm a little hesitant to bid on eBay, after reading about 'AWD_scooby's' nonsense.

I actually bought mine from AWD_Scooby about 4 months ago but that was outside of ebay. Transaction was fine, didn't have any problems, shipped the same day he received payment. Have yet to install it though, want to increment the mods on my new car slowly.

MyPocketRocket,
Thanks for posting those files, this exhaust sounds bitching, and it looks even nicer when you jack the car up!
Speaking of looks, the Invidia looks really "clean" and it appears that the silencer is placed right behind the header, can you confirm?
Now that you've had it for a while, any vibration issues so far? any issues with the installation and fitment?

I got it on the car about 6000 miles now with 110% happy with it. I like it even more, because it gives my car more unique. 
No touching...no grinding...no funny bussiness...only a real deal.
Other exhausts have some problems on fitment like the tips touching the rear bumper or the silencer touching the center hanger piece, but Invidia is a perfect fit.
One issue is the hangers were made for an 02 MCS, but mine is 04 and I had to weld 2 new inside hangers which costed me $30. (see the picture)

I'll be doing a dyno run with a newly installed Invidia on my car tomorrow morning... I'll see what I can do to get clips/pics/video. I'm really curious to see what the delta is going to be on my car. It's the only mod I've done since the last dyno.. and this is on the same dyno as well.

Well, so much for getting a good delta from my last dyno run in February. 
The weather was way warmer than last time... proof positive how sensitive our cars are to ambient temp. I'm still happy with my numbers however...
