My friend has one on his swapped RS, he loves the thing. Makes a huge difference in acceleration.

Sione has one. He shows up to the Wednesday night meet once in a while. But his car is at RMBS currently, I believe. He says he likes it.

I have one in my wagon. My favorite purchase out of everything I have upgraded. Faster revs, less noise, smoother, safer and no vibrations. Its a pretty noticeable difference, you will be happy with it.

Just make sure to not exceed the rated max speed with them (I'd imagine your fine with a street car though)

The DSS is rated to 180mph. Pretty sure most folks won't be going anywhere near that.

Agreed but thought I'd put it out there, I wouldn't go anywhere near that with one either!

Yup! Not discrediting your post. Just giving the spec so folks who are reading are aware.
