Default Happy with TPIS Cat-back?

I've seen this sytem once, and it looked cool. To those who have it, would you buy it again? How is the sound and the performance? Any pics or sound files? :cheers:

Once I had it modified and custom installed I liked it just fine. It is NOT a bolt in.

It has a little resonance but the sound is awsome and the gains are real.

A week of so ago I heard Vic'89 pulling away (he also has the TPIS cat-back and other exhaust mods similar to mine) and I thought "damn so that's what I sound like pulling out". I once heard it on a dyno at 5200rpm and it soundes very sweet, realy roared.

I might try muffler elims just to see what they're like on an L98, but for a cat-back I'd go with the TPIS again.
