my experience with buying aftermarket stuff, cheaper is not usually better. this seems like a very generic exhaust. with that said, the apexi ws2 is awesome but im bias. the hks hipower looks the best, but it is only the rear section

Agreed, cheaper is not always better. I would stick with the big name companies or have one custom made. GL

Id suggest you save your money, as 98% of the time, cheap items arent very good. Just look at your strut bar.. Save and do it right the first time.

You could probably have one custom made for that price.

a custom made exhaust for $400, wow, wish i lived where you do.

and maybe they will give you a deal if you tell them your on a forum, and will take pictures and post a review. worth a try, coming from the audi scene, we usually were skepitcal about buying these things, but someone made the jump, and it started a revolution on the audi forums, and cut the cost of exhaust in half, def a good fit, good clone of the AWE exhaust, and AWE is a very very well known euro tuner.


so with that being said..
its worth a try man, like i said, you could start something on CL. who knows.

^ I meant around that price.

I have a friend with a S500 that got his exhaust custom made for $580.

Sounds excellent and looks great.
