Price seems a little high for a couple of pieces of pipe. I'll give it a 8/10 if it lacks the aggravating drone that some systems produce.
1. Self install is easy if you have a decent amount of clearance underneath (provided by a lift or jack stands). It is the same as other catbacks.

2. No performance boost since the stock exhaust flows very well. It just sounds like shit. If you combine it with headers you will get a decent gain.

3. SW claims that there isn't any drone, and I trust a name like SW.

4. The price is very good compared to similar setups from Borla or Corsa.

5. Only an 8/10
