Default New Cat-back system from Ecklers

Has anyone purchased the new CB system that is in the front of the new Ecklers catalog (fall/winter 2006), page C5E. It lists for $600 and looks like a knock-off of the Borla stinger. How loud? How much resonance? Etc. Their tech support says they have put them on the boss's car and he loves them.

Oh, by thwe way, I have had my C5, (M6, halltech intake, torch red coupe) for several years and love it.

See Ya.

Awesome. There is no excuse for people to spend $2200+ on a complete exhaust system when now you can get a solid stainless steel catback for $600 from Ecklers and stainless steel long tube headers on ebay for $300.
