No looks cheap! Probly wont even bolt up right.
If you are looking for a good full exhaust system check out Dezod or Ptunings website.
Full turbo or catback exhaust with muffler choice. Installing this on my car seen so I will let you know how it is.

Now whats the diffrence between catback and axle back exhaust?
Exactly what it sounds like. One goes from the back axel back, and the other is from the cat back. You really want S-Pipe back because right past the S-pipe the stock exhaust gets smaller. If you want to on that link they have the full s-pipe back.

Honestly, it looks like a good deal, but it's an unknown brand, I've never heard of them. just keep in mind that cheap things turn into expensive headaches. I would buy it, but the chances that you are running are that it may not quite fit right, check their terms and conditions to see if you can return it in case it doesn't fit right or it's not quite what they are really advertising.
I have full Megan Racing exhaust system with TRD axle back exhaust, for performance, catback exhausts are the way to go, but if its just for sounds then axel back is the best choice.
the difference with the exhaust Kyle will install on his car is that this exhaust is full bolt-on, while the exhaust system Kyle is getting will require some welding. to make it fit.

My rule of thumb is that for something with no moving parts, off-brand is ok. if it moves or is engine critical, stick to known brands. The worst that can happen with this exhaust is a gasket leak that might through an emissions code, it won't hurt the engine. Judging by the short fart-can on the end and almost non-existant resonator in the middle though, it will be loud, high pitched, and annoying.
I also don't like the 2-bolt gasket flange at each breakpoint, they don't seal well IMO without a donut gasket, the flat ones just don't get enough compression. V-band clamps are preferred since they apply pressure 360 degrees around the pipe (this is what Borla, Magnaflow, and even PTuning use).
Oh, and for myself I am running a custom cat-back the local exhaust shop did for under $400. My main cost savings is I went with standard aluminized instead of polished stainless piping. No one is seeing my pipes unless they get ran over. It's solid welded from the cat-back as one piece, with a Flowmaster hushpower muffler midway back, nothing but pipe behind the axle.

I also recommend this exhaust. I got it for my tC 2 months ago and I love it. It is an awesome exhaust and sounds extremely good. I have gotten a lot of compliments on it.
