Ebay Catback???
Not the same guy, but it looks like a less expensive alternative...
Has anyone seen this before?
Ebay Catback
Looks like a copycat of the Borla Stingers.

Good price! Probably an okay set-up for the price!
Probably sound very close to other systems that are similar in makeup, like you said.
Thanks,Matt

yea, the box they came in did say made in china on it. Visually i am pretty pleased with them. The welds look very professionally done. No kinks in the bends, and they used some pretty nice t-bolt clamps instead of crappy u-bolt clamps.
I'll report back this weekend on fit and sound.

I put a set of those on my car. The left set doesn't fit right, the tips point to the left of center. Other than that, I like them very much. I have LG Streets, 3 inch cats and some unknown 2.5 inch x-pipe. Sounds great with the cats, too loud without them.

This may be the same kit, I don't know. My setup sounds a lot like this.

Does anyone else notice about half way in to the video, when they really get on it you see the right side exhaust is sitting up enough to touch the car?...Wow...I don't know why that would be but it doesn't look right at all to me....
Ahhhh....I just watched the installation video & it is all put together with band clamps...That would explain it's poor adjustment or movement...

I actually put these exact muffluers on my car about 3 weeks ago. I am going turbo, so I wanted a straight through design. They arent fitted perfectly yet, but I have noticed that my friend with the borlas dont fit exactly after a while, and my other friend with Bassani dont sit straight either. It just depends on how you set them up, and how much they vibrate around.
Other than that, they seem to be good quality and they sound really nice. I think they are used in a more popular brand with different tip design. I forgot where I saw them, but the pipes and mufflers were identical.
Also, I felt very good about only paying $400 for the exhaust, since the corvette tax has plagued us all. In that sense, I had no problem supporting chinese made products.
I would definately recommend these to someone else. And no, I am not a vendor for this product.
Just happy to bypass the overpriced companies.

exhaust
These look alot like set I saw at J&D Corvette in BellFlower Ca. It was about 2 weeks ago they have them on display and selling them for I think it was $549.00. They looked decent. If you go to j&dcorvettes.com they have sounds clips. Not sure if their the same. Check out the site and let me know what you think.

Of course there is drone. 
The instructions on the box are translated into english and it says that drone is a good thing, so no worries.
Really though, its a straight through design with small resonators. Find me an exhaust like that without drone. It is nearly identical to the borlas.
On my car, there is some drone between 1500-2000 RPM. Right now I have a turbo cam and the lower compression 317 heads. Other than that, the stock cats and H-pipe are still on it.
Personally, I cant stand any amount of drone. I would just keep the Z06 titaniums if it wasnt for the turbo back-pressure.

Just a reminder. The exhaust by pass, that A & A originally came up with works well. It eliminates 75% of the droan from aftermarket exhaust. About any "good" local muffler shop can do the bypass for less than $100. in most cities.
When cruising in the 1000 to 1800 rpm range the exhaust is only slightly louder than stock. 1800 and up rpm, hello, all hell starts to break loose as the bypass kicks in.
