Anybody heard anything about these? How loud are they? Quality?

I ran a search on GOOGLE not too long ago concerning their products and came up with a lot of bad reviews. Bad fit and finish and all around bad quality. If price is an issue, take a look at Corvette Central. I just installed a set of their H.O.T. Mufflers with the LT1 tips and a cross over rear pipe. Only $179 for the mufflers and i'm happy with them so far.

Yeah... I know their not Borla's or Flowmasters but they will do for now.

I have also heard that their products have been of poor quality in the past, but I think that their TFX mufflers are suppose to be a lot better. The retail for 2 mufflers for 84-90 is $300, so they better have improved for that price. Anybody else?

They're on ebay for alot less than $300.
Here's a link I found to compare mufflers. The charts at the bottom of the page aren't formatted correctly. You'll have to shift the numbers so they line up to make comparisons.

well, I won a new set of them on ebay just now for $106. I don't expect them to be the best, but you can't beat that price with crome tips! I'll let you all know how they do when I get them on. The guy I bought them from has more sets so maybe somebody will want some if they are nice.
