Pros are the price point, power, and customer service- the best in the business IMO.
Cons are the loudness and drone, but the new Generation 3 stuff is a lot better in that respect.

The GEN3 does not drone. I have not returned a single Gen3 system because of noise levels.

Any idea how to tell a "Gen 3" exhaust from the others?? I am looking at possibly getting a used one and don't want to risk the drone....

Easy... Gen3 has two mufflers, where the others is a single unit...

I installed one of these about two weeks ago. The sound is great with no drone. There is not much difference in the sound at idle or steady speed. Under acceleration it has a great low note. The boost seems to build faster and the car seems quicker. The price is good and the fit and finish is excellent.

I think the generation 2's are dual cans also. I have one and can say, without hesitation, it drones like crazy between about 2K and 3.5K rpm. Having said that, the "pleasure is worth all the pain" and I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.

I was not aware of that... my mistake.

The best setup is one without mufflers (with or without cats) ... the sound and the added power gain are awesome... too bad it shakes loose every picture frame in the house when you start it up in the morning... that is the setup I had (just 200cel cats) before I went with the Gen3
