Any experience with Bonez Cats?

Hey all, I burned up my high-flow cat (about 1 year) and now I'm getting a better one, the Bonez. Does anyone have experience with this one? How does it sound and how does it last?

I just installed the 1-piece pipe and cat. Turns out my original cats were not in that bad shape, so performance gain was slight, not huge. Sound is a little bit louder at the muffler end. Sporty sound. The gasket and bolt kit for $20 seems like a bit of a ripoff, but hey it saves an extra trip to the store. The cat doesnt look as well made as the OEM pieces, but I hear they hold up pretty well under normal driving, and its *way* less expensive.

I was a little worried about it clearing the crossmember on my vert. and it took some wrestling before it went into place (I did this job with just the right side up on jack stands). Other than that it fits perfectly. The flange setup is so easy to work with, unlike the American iron I'm used to with u-clamps, rusted on joints, etc. This was actually easier than changing the plugs,

More than anthing, I noticed how 'clean' the exhaust is now, even at startup! Exhaust is almost odorless, where before it would stink and burn your eyes.
