Never heard of them, but is that piece stainless? It doesn't say so I presume not. For a non-stainless stock-like muffler I would go for a known make like: Ansa

If it is stainless then it might be worth a try at that price.

muffler and tip might be stainless or it could just be polished. but the pipe does not even look stainless.

that was my impression of it as well. the fact theres no item description is a bummer too. I might call them. If they are infact full stainless, i might have to play Guinea pig

Personally I would be careful of any exhaust I haven't heard or had feedback on. A poorly designed muffler can ruin the love affair with your 944 and they are known to attract swarms of Hondas even out of season.

truth. i own a honda

i got annoyed with the tone and loudness with just a turbo muffler. bought a 4g Eclipse oem muffler off craigslist and welded it on. nice and quiet now and tone is much improved.

well reguarless i cant afford the system right now. I was going to buy an 8ft length of 304 and have it bent, and run into a used stainless muffler of a noted brand (remus,fabspeed,tubi,ansa,etc...) but finding a "real" mandrel bender is near impossible, the closest to me is in MD and for the cost of shipping and labor eff-it & new flanges, i could buy a system. I'll probably just run regular 2.5 ID pipe (cat delete) into a stainless Ansa muffler
