XS power is becoming a ok company now.
My friend has an xs power turbo back SS exhaust on his 200sx and is is great.
The only thing was that we had to weld new "hooks" to fasten it they were all on the wrong places
If you whant a cheap exhaust that flows this is the way
Sorry for my bad english

I have no experience with this cat-back, but going by their track record, it'll probably sound pretty raspy and will burn out quick. Remember, our EGTs are way higher than that of pretty much any other car. For the price, I highly doubt it'll hold up.

hmm, yeah for the price im like YAY, but im scared of the quality.. i think im going to buy the carbon ti exhaust from that guy on the for sale board and just get it welded back to stock! HKS is well known and that carbon Ti is a sick looking exhaust!!

I don't know about this specific one... but I have ran them in the past on anything from TII's to FD's and they seen to work fine and are a cheaper alternative if you are on a budget. It is comparible to an HKS or Apexi exhaust. Kevin at Rotary Ressurection also ran a ebay catback on his Silver T78 FD. That being said. I do have the HKS Carbon Fiber/Ti exhaust on my silver FD(track car) and love it!!

Will work for horsepower
I bought one 4 years ago i dont drive many miles but it gets the job done. No problems with fit or falling apart but its loud as hell but i have no cat or other muffler. The car runs 10.'s so its not restricting anything.

the intercooler and catback have all received postive reviews. I ran their turbo for a short bit but I wouldn't recommend it. If it doesn't move or rotate, I'd say it's of decent quality. When it's all said and done it's just a piece of pipe.

that is true, their intercoolers seem to be pretty decent.

I don't think this is the case at all. It is a cheap alternative that flows better than stock. As it has been pointed out several times, it is the older bar and plate technology. All you need is a duct for it. You can fabricate one or buy one off the forum.

I ran the catback for several years, it saw PLENTY of heat and flames. Flange never warped, welds never came apart, it was fine. I did run the DP/MP for a while when I was still on twins, and again never had any issue. I've also run their stuff on FC's and used a couple of intercoolers. Non-moving parts are going to be fine.
As for the sound, well it's not as if an open-muffler 3" catback does much to change/muffle the exhaust sound of a rotary, so it is going to sound about like every other open-exhausted rotary out there depending on what you put in front of it.
