I bought this system about 6 weeks ago. Purchased for $250 shipped from Autocom.com. It shipped in one week in a well packaged box. Given the price and the non-brand name, I was more than nervous about everything, fitment, sound, material quality... I must say however, I am pleased with almost every aspect of it. It fits perfectly on all hangars with no modification, and bolted to the cat with no problems. From start to finish it took 2.5 hours(most of which was spent sawing the stock exhaust off) including clean up. If you have access to something other than floor jacks to raise your car, I'd say you could count on spending under 2 hours. All pieces to the exhaust have an anti rust black paint coating that looks sweet and is decently durable. The only thing that is chrome is the tip coming off the muffler. One thing i didn't like is the tip goes from 2.25 in. from the muffler to a rolled 4 in. tip. My coupe also has a lot of black trim and for some reason, i can't get used to the look of chrome on it. It is an aluminum exhaust, 2.25 inches in diameter from the cat back, 16ga. It sounds real nice with a deep tone through and almost silent when idling, all i can hear is my intake sucking up air unless im moving. Aside from the tip, the only other thing i can complain about is that the gasket to go between the cat and pipe is rubber... so throw that out and get yourself a nice metal one, and it didn't come with the bolts for attatching it to the cat, something it said would be included. Overall, I do recommend this exhaust. Obviously if you have $600 to drop on one, get out of here and get yourself some skunk2 or greddy... but as a mid priced exhaust, you won't be disapointed. Until i make it through winter up here in wisconsin, i give it a 7 out of 10. I will come back if anything happens to go wrong in the near future.

Then again, I do live in ND where if you don't like the weather you just wait a minute.
