Mine rattles, a hell of alot and extremely loud with a ton of cabin drone. Complete opposite to their promises.
A shame really, i love the design concept and the look of the system. The noise from the outside of the car when WOT is awesome too, but that excessive rattling is a PITA, seems like its coming from inside the piping as i have checked all connections.

Mine actually hit the rear subframe under certain conditions, and rattle like crazy.
Did you check where the pipe gets routed under the rear cross member / subframe?

Yeah, the whole installation was checked over thoroughly, it seems like it's something to do with the high-flow cat. It only happens during certain RPM's and that range will change depending if i'm running factory tune, or my ecutek performance tune.

Also excessivley loud, tons of drone, tips don't line up (both vertcally and one pokes out more then the other).

Yeah it was very hit or miss.

I had one as well and mine did not look like kidgogeta when I saw his car. Odd thing was he order his wayyy before me as I was number 20 and I got mine well before him. I actually thought the quality was pretty good it just wasn't livingable like the claimed. I was thinkin the original 20 are prob very nice then shit hit the fan. The cbe version was the real nightmare I think.

They have a very good rep in the is300 world from what I hear

SRT is a really good shop with a lot of talent. I know someone associated with making this exhaust system for SRT and he told me that because of the huge demand for this they had problems with their material suppliers which caused them to fall way behind on production. While trying to play catch-up using alternate suppliers the quality slipped, they were crucified on the forums, demand ceased and the rest is history.

I recall a key fabricator left as well?
