You buy the best product that you can afford. This will cause less headaches down the road. This can be from inferior metals, bad welds, or even poorly fitting overall. If you really are on a budget, then hold off on buying. Wait till you have some extra cash and buy something nice and worthwhile.
Couldn't have said it better, do it right the first time and you will be happier in the long run.

If you have heard the Berk one and like it no need in changing, the Works is just another option.

Searching Speed-Daddy (the name of the vendor) led me here:

http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...-daddy-exhaust

Which led me here:

http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...highlight=ssac

It seems like the company is SSAutoChrome.

It's likely going to be similar to some names were more familiar with, OBX, XS Power etc.

Then just go out and buy it if your budget is that tight. Maybe it's the best bang for the buck system ever made and all the veteran guys are just closed-minded.

Yea, I'm not going to tell you to buy it but at the same time we don't know if this is a company that is trying to make a name for themselves and decides to sell it cheap on ebay because they dont have a site yet.

For all we know it could be legit. It does take a lot more time to fabricate an exhaust than it is to put a pipe and a filter together and call it an intake. Im just saying there are 2 sides to every story.

There is always that and there are well established brands (even on here) that are high dollar and are not quality.

Not vouching to anyone to buy it , but it does sound clean and not as loud as others , but I do agree with some ppl investing in our cars is always good to go legit with a respected and known brand anyone else with an update of the quality and durability of this set up after purchase feel free to share their experience !
