Worth the money and is great. Talk to John his name is MAGNAFLOWGUY on this board he can hook you up.
The only problem is the scraping but that can be fixed by getting the midpipe welded

Yup....I got my cat-back from John at the previous GB. I'm very pleased with it. I haven't had any scraping, on the other hand, my car isn't lowered
It's easy to install too. I have to admit, I lost low end torque but in the high rpms, it's great. I'm planning on getting the K&N FIPK II intake to make up for the low-end torque loss. It's not a big loss but noticable.

It's not a big loss but noticable. i got it on my car, and it sounds good in the low end because u can hear it, but once u get to like 60 or so, u can barely hear it, thats in 5th gear tho. but its a good exhaust if u dont want it to be all ricey and real loud and bring attention to urself. its a good price too, not as expensive as the others. i do have hte problem of the middle clamp when i am gonna lower it soon, but im told u can tack it or weld it together and it should be fine. if u dont, it will scrape on the road, cuz it has to be faced to the side or down, and hangs. it looks good on the car, i recommend you get new rubber hanger holders for 5 bucks, buy them, dont have them install it, it cost me 30 for them to install it, they ripped me off. good exhaust overall
I love this eshaust .. like they said, it sounds excellent, it gives some slightly noticeable performance gains, and it's not really ricey. Plus I'm pretty sure it's helped with gas mileage - My personal best is 501 miles on one tank. No other engine mods, except some funky gas additive.
Definitely worth the money, just watch for the scrapage. And make sure if you don't weld it, get the U-bolt tight as hell, 'cause mine came loose a couple weeks ago and when I scraped on some fúckers driveway, the entire mid-pipe came loose and it sounded like a banshee. So just beware.
Overall, I give it

I've had mine for a couple of months now and mine was scraping when I went over steep hills or some speed bumps (I'm riding on H&R sport springs) but to fix that I got the hangers turned so the ubolts face toward the passenger side door instead of down to the ground...I love the exhaust! I also got it from the 7'th gen group buy...I ordered it on a Friday and got it the following Tue!!! GREAT DEAL!

i think its a really good catback... especially for 300 for the complete system
it mite hang a little low, but if you turn the pipe slightly and turn all the u bolts up
then it will clear fine. sound is low rumble, and it sounds stock until you stomp on it.
so its good for the cops around here in LA.
on a side note: how do you clean the tip? mines a little brownish cuz its dirty. should i just soap and water it then use some kind of polish?

I'm pleased with mine, I also thought it hung low so I had a shop fix that (free) but it still scraps with my car lowered.
Oh and I cut off the tip, looks better. My friends were ripping on me for it sticking out so much. EVERYONE agrees that it looks better without the tip.
