SR*S ebay catback good,bad, ugly?

As the title says, I was on nasioc.com and came across a thread about the SR*S catback ebay system and the erz system and was wondering if anyone on here has bought one, is running one of these and what is the overall score in terms of 1 to 10.

What i would like to know..

How does it sound?
How great was the ebay transaction?
Install problems?
Recommend or say no way in hell?

Thanks!

I just got one a few weeks ago and love it. Here's the link to my post with pics on nasioc http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=1371988

scroll all the way through the 1st page of the thread to see the pics of the exhaust with/without silencer and side-by-side comparison with stock.

I bought it locally in Sacramento at Top Speed but they should be pretty easy to deal with via Ebay as well. No install problems, fitment was perfect and it sounds good with and without the silencer but IMO it looks better without and is a better performance gain without. Either way its not a loud exhaust and really brings out the boxer rumble. I recommend it. read my post for more details though.

Thanks for the feedback. I actually have an account with nasioc as well and have already read your post several times to convince myself to get one. Just out of curiousity, how much did you pay for yours since you bought it through Top Speed?

$225 + tax, so it came out to @ $240. The sound clips from the ebay listing are good but if you're in Sacramento or live close by you're more than welcome to check it out so you know what it sounds like in person. Right now only mod is the SR*S catback (silencer removed) and the airbox mod. Otherwise, still have stock up (not for long though, ) and down.

Not sure. One of my friends is running catless with SPT CBE and I didn't notice too much of a difference.
