Countless hours of dynamometer testing this is what we believe to be the nicest-sounding, most attractive and best-performing single-dump exhaust system. Not only does it make more power than any other single-dump exhaust systems we've tested, it also looks very stock-like with its elegant dual exhaust tips. And tucked extraordinarily high under the car, this fully-polished and resonated system will not scrape on speed bumps. The 4-piece design also makes for easy to installation and fitment.
Single Tip (STi-type) option is now available at no extra charge.
Both styles equipped with adjustable threaded exhaust hangers to allow for right/left adjustment. Perfect Fit! Especially ideal for those with aftermarket bumpers.
Will not clear with the diff protector.

Pros:
Twin Tip - looks stock, not too loud like many exhausts
Cons:
Louder at idle but not at cruise, won't clear diff protector
Quality construction, all 4 pieces are made together and sold in one numbered package so there is no confusion.
Fitment was perfect except for the midpipe hook bracket of death, which required some reshaping to line up.
Completely polished, good for show, but not very stealth - reflects headlights under the car.
Muffler is large and heavy, sits high closer to swaybar.
Cat or non-catted option.
Doesn't clear the rear diff protector.
Probably the best twin tip turboback offered.

Pros:
Quiet, stealth, quality construction.
Cons:
Expensive
Installation was very easy, only thing that got me was having to modify the turbo heat sheild with a pair of tin snips. I didn't have and fitment problems and the kit came with every needed (bolts and gaskets). Overall it sounds great and is major stealth.

Pros:
Stealth looks, relatively quiet sound, flex joint
Cons:
Price.
Note: I bought mine used, $1300++ is way too much for an exhaust IMHO.
I had to have a great flowing, stealth looking, reasonably quiet, non-stinking, full turboback exhaust...and this is the only one that fits the bill. From the outside it looks stock, and isn't extremely loud. Check out my video clip (DiVX required).
Overall...great product I'm happy with...just wish it were cheaper. But you can't have it all.

Pros:
Great quality and sound; stealth look
Cons:
price and flanges
Great looking piece. Looks basically stock, but sounds great. Not too loud, but louder than say, a Borla Hush. The build quality is great. The only major gripe I have is with the flanges. They seem to want to rust, which sucks because the rest of the unit holds up really well. The flex in the mid pipe is a great idea as well. PM for pics of the rusty flanges if you\'d like.

Pros:
Excellent sound / performance
Cons:
Expensive
I purchased my Single-Tip version of this exhaust back in the early days of the Vishnu Stage 1 (when they still included things like a UniChip, colder plugs, and an under-drive pulley!). I\'ve *loved* this exhaust since the day I got it!
The sound is awesome, not too loud at idle or when cruising on the freeway, but has a nice deep grunt/growl when you get on it.
Performance is terrific too. The unit\'s legal for STX Autocross because it\'s still got a single cat, yet the 3\" pipe flows a ton.
The only issue I had was when one the exhaust hangers in the mid-pipe broke. I had a local muffler shop welt it back into place, and I haven\'t had an issue since... 2 years and counting!
This exhaust is pretty expensive, but IMO absolutely worth it!

Pros:
Sound / Looks / Quality
Cons:

I bought my full Vishnu Non-Sig Dual Tip Turboback from another member in great condition! The sound was exactly what I wanted, not over the top, but not quiet either! It let\'s off a nice rumble at idle and has that \"tuned\" sound to it. The only negative aspect are the flanges - they seem to be made of mild steel which tends to rust a lot easier and faster than the parts themselves. All in all, I give it an 8, because it can\'t get much better!

Pros:
great construction / sound / oem fitment
Cons:
had to make a new 02 wire, the stocker was about six inches to short
Damn, if you have an STI you need to have this exhaust, 1300 is a lot but hey you paid 31k for a subaru impreza. this thing is sweet, no issues for me with creep (I have an AP) or CE lights,just go go go

Pros:
quality fit, power increase, stock looks
Cons:
O2 sensor is a pain to install
This exhaust helps spool up a ton!! It looks stock and is quiet, so you won\'t be hassled by the coppers.
The only issue I had was installing the O2 sensor. It is kind of a pita to reroute the wiring, but other than that the fit is great. It tucks right under my EGR rear skirt and only car fanatics would realize it was aftermarket.
