There's always the used market. I may sell mine and go for a 3" setup.

SRT would have to still sell them to have a bad purchasing experience though...they no longer have any FRS/BRZ parts listed. Overall I'm happy with the quality of the product (very nicely done TIG welding) and it's performance (sound) but the company is not one I would deal with again due to how they treat customers...

Wait a second.... This exhaust is not being made and people have had bad experience. Can I get some cliff notes?

LOL why is this post coming back? Basically the SRT headerback exhaust was the most anticipated exhaust for the twins. The exhaust was poorly made, starting leaking for some people. When people tried to contact them about replacing the parts, they "skipped town" and people were stuck with a leaky exhaust with no customer service.

Love hate relationship where the GF was really hot. As always, she had some issues that weren't apparent until she opened her mouth, took her clothes off or you actually took the time to get to know her despite the shortcomings.
Her parents were really messed up too.
At least I can say I hit it and quit it, but not before things got out of hand.

The exhuast want poorly made. Service and delivery you are on point but the quality was actually good. Unless I missed something. I own one

^ Some people received decent systems, other were a complete mess. Either way, no matter how good your product is, you need customer service to back it up. SRT lacked in both aspects.
