DC Sport Catback?

I found a great deal on a DC sport catback. I have definitely heard of the product, but I wanted to get a second opinion before dropping $300 on it.

I did some searching here and can't find any formal reviews of this exhaust. Does anyone have it and like it? Would you recommend it?

What I didn't know until last year @ SEMA was that DC Sports is owned by Pilot Automotive. You might see some of their auxiliary lights at Auto Zone, Pep Boys, etc.

I wouldn't do it.

Thanks for the links. I'm gonna ask for some more pictures to see if I can't spot rust or anything else major. For $300 though, it's almost too good to pass up.

It's more the poor welds and the fact that it will rust sooner than others, not that it has rusted already.
