looks nice, but hard to give an opinion without hearing it.

Yea. I'll email the guy, but he's not going to badmouth his stuff. I did email one of the most recent purchasers, buy haven't heard back. I'm looking for a nice rumble and kind of settled on the Borla Stingers based on this forum. It all seems waaaaaay overpriced to me, so I'm just trying to save a buck.

There was another thread about this system and another forum member( I can't remember who right now) Mentioned that the exhaust did not sit at the height that it was supposed to. It looks great, but if this is so, make sure that you can add som mounting brackets to hold it up higher. You don't want your vette to look cheap

Saw this a week ago or so.

Somebody mentioned how misaligned they appeared not to mention how low they are placed. I tend to agree.

I wish I could find the other thread that I saw a couple of weeks ago about this system. I have no experience with this system, never owned one, nor have I ever known anyone that has.

Personally - from looking at the photos, I'd like to think that the real thing would hang and fit better than what I see in the picture. It looks crooked and like it's hanging pretty low to me.

What I don't understand is that if this system was installed in their shop specifically for a photoshoot - you'd think the company would take extra time to get it hanging right. I hope that's not an indication of the quality of the workmanship.

All I can say is Caveat Emptor (or something like that - buyer beware!)
