All I can say is that you get what you pay for. Its a great price, but will lack quality due to the low price. The axle back is pretty generic, but I would be more concerned about the fitment of the headers. If it were me, I would stick to one of the manufacturers that others have already tried and have found to be a good product. But then again, its not my car, its yours, but there's my thoughts on it.

The headers are the only thing that really concerned me too, wanted to see if anyone had any experience with these since I havent found much info through my searching. The exhaust seems to be close to the m2 product which I will be getting either way, mainly concerned about the headers

I have never heard of this company and have never come across this company's name on CL.

Eeh..... I would pass. The ad seems cheesy and they sound like they are "washing their hands" of any liability with the repeated statements that no instructions are included and professional installation is recommended. Also of note, I have no idea what an "O2 sensor bung insertion" is, but the O2 sensor ports in the headers appear to be plugged? I see no reason for their to be optional caps on them, as you certainly have to run them for the ECM to read emissions properly and prevent the check engine light. This is selling for less than you can buy headers for........ I also didn't know that a smooth and deep tone would help exhaust flow? Uggh.....

For that price, just put the money towards a good midpipe & cat back exhaust set up or just a good exhaust by itself. Forget the headers.

I agree about the "washing their hands" statement. I got the same feeling while I was reading it. The O2 bung is just referring to the fact that it has a threaded hole built in to accept an O2 sensor. I've heard it called a "bung" before.
