I just got mine installed the other day. The sound is very good and ladds a bit more of a deeper tone to the car and does not sound like a "fart" can. The quality of the system is good. The only issues I have had with was the need to modify things ever so slightly to get it to fit correctly. My only piece of advice is to use 2" heavy duty exhaust clamps rather than the ones that come with it. Should cost you less than 10 bucks for new ones at napa.

Also forgot to mention that they ship very quickly usually the next day or same day. Also, the man that runs the company is extremely nice to deal with.

Any chance of a video with the sound? Does it drone at all in the cockpit, or is it pretty quiet when cruising?

Not sure on a dyno chart. I heard somewhere in the ballpark of 9 to 15ish hp gain.
