Im convinced that for the price you cant beat them. I would expect a gain for a stock setup to be in the 15hp range.

They look like a good deal to me.
Here's the issue from what I see. They have no cats. I guess the stock cats could be cut and welded in, or you could spend some more $ and get some hi-flows. Most of the vendors and speed shops should be able to address it. This makes it a set that's going to require some piecing together and I'm not sure how you are with a welder.

This require welding to the stock second Cat, and a reducer from 3" to 2.5", i still haven't installed mine, cause im waiting for my paint to arrive so i can give them a good coat, because they come coated with rattle can spray or something, but overall they seem to be very well constructed.

And like everyone else said, you cant beat that price.

How much are they coated? Indy powder coating will jet coat them inside and out for 190$! Will the v8 cats work on our cars? The local speed shop has a bazillion of them laying around. Seems like they'd have to flow more. I'm getting 273 rwhp with ls3 cans and a chopped stock intake/ k&n drop in lol! If this worked I could be at 288 rwhp for $500+/- in mods if they add 15rwhp!

I've just seen the Uncoated on eBay for 220 shipped.
