Great product for the buck, awesome boxer grumble, very low tone. not too loud without header, very smooth. in combo with a header = awesome real deep sound. butt dyno says 3hp. i would buy again.

Gives the boxer an "I am gonna kick ur ass attitude" It's loud enough to let other cars know ur around..but not lound enough to have the pigs chase you down.. Remember loud pipes save lives  I lost count the number of times i have been told my car sounds awesome..

Pros:

Easy install, great price, sounds bad ass
|
|
Cons:
|
Hangers on muffler are too visible
|
|
This exhaust brings the boxer rumble to life. I get props about the exhaust note all the time. Not obnoxiously loud, but loud enough to let the other cars know what they are dealing with. I am not sure of the power gains as far as a dyno goes, but it feels a little peppier. Great investment.

sounds friggin sweet
|

custom welding needed for helix DP
|

One very nice piece. The sound is incredible. Nice deep rumble... similar to the Borla Hush but louder; no \"fart can\" here. The tip looks nice as well... very similar to the stock STi tip just larger. Only downside is that if your looking to mount this cat-back to a Helix DP and many others, you will need a different flange welded to it.

Have a family member or friend looking to refinance or purchase? Your referral on a closed lead will not go unnoticed. *PM me for details* I’ll even pay for their appraisal and credit report fees out of my pocket at the close of escrow.

Awesome grumble from the boxer. It makes the WRX sound like a V-8 beast. Simple installation.

Slight hp increase and great exhaust tone

Cons:

I\'m running this on my 2.5RS right now and there is a noticable power increase than stock. Sometimes it will pop shifting gears 1st > 2nd at low rpms or when in low gear and let off the throttle. I\'ve set off car alarms before driving past parked cars on the street. My friend who did EJ22T swap in his 01 RS didnt need this exhaust anymore so he just gave it to me... whooopee!!

Pros:
|
Sounds awesome, not that loud, more power, a lot lighter than stock
|
|
Cons:
|
Addictive, makes me use more gas
|
|
This piece is just the sound I was looking for, aggressive, louder than stock, and not sounding like a fart can. I would say that it almost sounds like an old European sports car (anyone remember the Ferrari in Ferris Bueller's Day Off?). Nice, throaty burble at idle, and a lot louder at WOT. It does not sound like a Civic, or any other 4-cylinder with an open exhaust. Gotta love the boxer engine. Everyone who has heard my car so far has been duly impressed.
The construction is good. It has a 1 million mile warranty. The donut seal is a little chintzy, but it is holding fine. The whole exhaust is significantly lighter than stock. I did not weigh it, but the whole box felt lighter than just the stock muffler.
The downside is that I am so into the sound that I have been driving stupid, i.e. fast and this uses more gas.

Pros:

Sound, ease of installation and quality.
|

Cons:

Sleeve type connections rather than flanges...not sure if real con.

This is the 2nd best sounding exhaust I've heard.
Good deep rumble and DOES NOT drone at highway speeds (so you don't get a headache).
Very nicely made piece that is as easy to install as any other exhaust.
