DC SPORTS DCS-Dual Canister Cat-Back ??

It looks like the DC Sports Cat-back exhaust recently got to market. I remember the name DC Sports back in the 90's when they seemed relevant in the Honda/Acura scene and probably because I grew up in SoCal, but they seemed to have resorted to PepBoys and Amazon for a lot of their distribution (not hating, but pointing out some facts). The exhaust itself looks visually attractive and priced on the lower end... anybody install one yet? Curious to how it sounds. Wondering if anyone can speak for their welding workmanship and quality as well. Assuming one exhaust isn't necessarily too different from another from even the OEM exhaust performance-wise... this might be an interesting option to make my FRS look meaner from behind.

I've read on other posts about DC Sport exhaust tips rusting really easily. Gives me an indication about their quality levels. DC Sports if you're reading this ... perception of poor quality easily translates into all your products if you have one bad product.
