Seemed like a solid exhaust to me. This one would've been high on my list if there weren't so many great domestic companies in the US to choose from. Sorry that doesn't help much. Exxex is a pretty well regarded vendor here, here is a write up they did about this exhaust.

an exhaust isnt going to give you huge hp gains, yes some make more pwr then others, but that 2-3hp difference from one to the other is meaningless and your foot wont notice the difference. go by the style look and sound, find what u like. everyones taste is different. this looks like a decent exhaust. good luck!

Impressions and Pics
I installed the exhaust a little over a week ago, and I am very pleased. I love the design, and its very well built. I haven't heard it from the outside with someone else driving yet, but I am very happy with the sound. Most importantly: zero drone.
I will quote the rest from my mod log: Quote:

Ask and you shall receive.
Thanks dude, and ya got lucky on the video front 'cause I was just at an autocross yesterday up in Maine
I always try to get a few angles so you'll be able to hear the exhaust from: front bumper, rear bumper, rear window (inside), and under car rear right. The only one unaffected by wind noise was the rear bumper (last run in vid). [ame]http://youtu.be/8iUBEYxx2Us[/ame]
