fa5 catback (affordable)/ first of many to come

i was looking online today, because i am sick of my oem exhaust and do not want to do the 2" welding option, and there is finally a full catback being made for the fa5. it looks pretty nice and sounds nice but seems a little to loud for my taste. but hopefully this will spark all makers to finally release some options for us fa5 owners.

there are 3 videos to listen to it
the site says it is under 93 db but it seems a little louder to me

Sounds like a skunk2 but with some rasp to it, add a raceheader and i'm not sure how good it would sound.

Yea it seems they tracked down all the FA5 owners on HT and pm'd us all about it. To me, looks like a fart can. Hopefully comptech gets going again soon so I can get that and extend.

To all the haters, has anyone of you purchased this catback?

I hope you're not just basing your opinion on the fact that its not brand name.

If you are talking about sound, save it, everyone is gonna have their opinions, 234,546,433 people have tried to say what you just said and it is a waste of a post in this forum. I'm not saying I don't agree, just save it.

If you are talking about the gains.... there is no way on planet earth that a 2.5" catback exhaust will make a 13.5 hp gain on a stock Si and all of the people on this forum that post about it know that. PERIOD.

I dig the v-band connections. Very easy installation and leak free seal. That alone is worth it to me. The sound does seem a bit off though.
