Feedback on Rotary Performance catback?

So I was thinking of getting the RP catback since it is half the price of the RB catback. I already have the RB downpipe and pre-silencer, but the catback is grossly overpriced (even though its freakin sweet!!!)

Now I understand that people will throw words like 'quality' around, but I can buy 2 RP systems for the price of an RB. (and I'm not scared to change it twice, lol)

So I would like some feedback on the Rotary Performance (RP) catback system from people who have them on their FC or have had it.

Thanks-

If you can find a Borla setup, that's a good one, and I belive it's less expensive than RB. I know I got mine with ~1k miles on it, shipped to me, for $400.

*edit* I drive an n/a, though.

I had it on my car when it was n/a. Personally I think it was 'eh'. No problems with getting it on the car but the y-pipe looked kinda restrictive. It sounded alright but it was loud and at around 2500 rpm you get that sort of nasal ricey-exhaust sound you would expect to find on a honda. Ive never had big exhausts before but the drone on the highway kinda sucked too. I ran this catback with a pacesetter header and a cat. When I swapped to TII I just bought full RB exhaust and love it.

If you are still considering getting one, ill sell you mine for $150 + shipping. The y-pipe has been cut and rewelded so it probably wont bolt up and you will have to deal with that but the mufflers are fine.
