Have you been to China to see their QC department? Ok, if they have said department, they suck. Who could ship a product that looks like the one I linked to? There are too many posts like his to say they have good QC, if any at all.

I went to the muffler shop today. We were going to remove the H pipe and install a custom made X pipe. The owner of the shop said why don't we just remove the H pipe and put in straight pipes in their place. He said that exhaust balance would not be a problem because of the Borla muffler in the back of the car. No more "Histtlee"!!! Here are some pic's.

The resaults are very good. The sound is perfect. Not too loud just deep and exotic almost. I still have a small amount of rasp but not enough to be concerned with it. I also had a fix installed for the CEL. here are before and after's.
