i have heard some very bad stuff about that company. I personally would save up some money and fork it out for name brand even if it may just be for peice of mind... But anyway on the 240 forums there is a post showing why not to get the ss autochrome turbo. I'll get the link to it sometime but right now i'm to lazy

The exhaust is fine. I have the single turboback. A bit loud and I'm using the silencer here while in CA but back in TX I can run it open.

i have their exhaust too but i bought it when you could buy the whole system for $240 shipped about 1.5 years ago. it has held up since then very well and i am quite impressed with it. a bit loud though but a Borla XR1 helped with that.

True. I did get mine for about $230 shipped almost 2 yrs ago. So price has gone up a bit, but still a good deal.

i also have run their stock turbo SS manifold as well for several months at 300+RWHP with no problems. some of their products suck *** but some do not, you just have to choose wisely.

Price/Quality aside, that is one of thee worst sounding catbacks I have ever heard on an rx7, especially if you have no cats/muffled midsection.

i have the dual exhaust, it sounds and looks good, but the way the driver side pipe is bent, it doesnt line up at all, hangs low and to the left. passenger side is perfect. the sound is pretty nice, doesnt sound like a honda.

its loud as crap at 3000, the drone sucks on highways. it was alot more tolerable with the silencers, but the mounting bolt must need loctite, as they came out and i lost my silencers within a day or two of having installed them.

for the money its not too bad of an exhaust, but remember, you get what you pay for.

I have had the 3 inch sigle out for over a year, got mine 235 shipped. I have had no problems. It is loud, so if this is a problem for you don't buy it. If you can live with the sound then it is perfect for the price.

That's because it's a knockoff of the CS Power Extreme exhaust... I ran one for a good while and it performed excellent... Like others said, it was a bit on the loud side, but it was a nice deep good loud... Not tinny at all...

I bought the N/A dual from them about a month ago and they sent the turbo back by mistake. I decided to keep it and put the catback on my vert. I love the sound but a bit loud at 3000, and also doesn't hang quite right (lower on the left side and at a different angle) but the overal quality is very nice and is holding up to my abuse. For ssautocrome, I would prefer not to deal with them because they are very insociable(not letting me call them instead of emaling).
