I installed on of their exhausts a few weeks ago. Fit was very nice. Everything lined up. I used Stainless "A4" hardware except for the brackets to the mounting. Sound was a little throaty but acceptable to me. This exhaust also included their "CARB" approved cat. My only concern so far is how easy it was to get the pipes to "glow".

So, I'll let you know in a few weeks about the fit and finish. Sure can't beat that price, and I know they're having a tough time keeping up with demand. Cheers, Jeff
