This is a nice looking exhaust. All of the quality control issues you read about online appear to have been sorted out as well. My only gripe is that it doesn't actually sound "good." It makes noise, but it doesn't have any type of tone (and that's because it doesn't have mufflers). Sounds great when you fire up the car though. And it's not that it sounds bad, per se, it just doesn't sound good. I had a Borla on my GTI, and I think that sounded a lot better. For the next batch they should also weld on another hanger, to utilize the factory one that you don't re-use.
