Default 2002 C5 exhaust

I would just like to pick some brains about the exhaust system in the link below. I have been researching exhausts for some time now and before I pull the trigger I wanted to see what others think about this and if anyone has any experience with this brand?

YouTube is probably going to be your best bet. I know I've seen videos on them before.

I’m guessing this is a Chinese knock off of corsa sport.

In most cases, you get what you pay for.

Personally, I wouldn't buy it.

They cost about half of what I paid for my Borla's. Knowing what I know now after having the experience of helping install the Borla's I would have taken a chance on these.
One thing, take your old exhaust off without cutting them in two in case these new ones don't work out. You will need a lift for that.
People say you can do it with jack stands but it would be really hard in my opinion.
Good luck!

Looks like it has a stock size muffler, you are not going to get a very aggressive sound out of it.

If you do end up getting these, please post a review and video! I kinda of always wanted a set of Corsa Sports, but these might be a decent knock-off. Much cheaper than a Corsa.

I was looking into these as a cheaper alternative. I remember watching a Youtube video on these from Whorevette. I think he had an older version since his came with oval tips, not the rounded ones. He had fitment issues from what I remembered in the video. I don't know if they've ever fixed the issue.

SOUND CLIP:

I was also looking into SR*S exhausts but haven't found enough substantial reviews on them. I've heard good things about SR*S before for JDM cars but I don't know how these hold up on the C5.
