Well-respected for the quality parts they make, but the prices are so outrageous that most people don't buy their parts. You can make so much more power for the money spent on other, quality parts, but if you want some specially manufactured parts, then pay up and go to Works. In terms of tuning, their flashes are generally not preferred.

Their products are really well built and the quality shows. They arent for the budget minded Evo driver. They cost more than your average Evo upgrades but are well worth the money. Better than some crap other vendors sell.

I've always heard good things about them.

Their reputation did take a hit recently that was related to ECU reflashing and their through the mail reflashes. But your always better off with a custom tune anyway.

All of their products are very good, but very expensive.

the only thing I have purchased from them was my downpipe, they are a bit expensive but the quality of thier parts was perfect and they treated me great and went the extra mile to make sure I had my parts for my install date, they even ate the cost for overnighting me the part so I could have my install done on time. They are the best.

Good stuff, but you can get the same quality parts for much less money. Id never buy anything from them.

for exhaust parts You'd definitely save more money thru the classifieds or thru youre local regional evo clubsite forums.Check out the other companies as well you may want their products/brand names for a much better price

They have great service. All the pieces they designed (o2 housing, drop in filter, etc) are quality. I never had a problem with a part I got from them (but then again I never had a problem with anything I got for the evo so far). As long as you know what you want and their products suit your needs, I would highly recommend them

They work very closely with MMNA, but I don't know what that says about their reputation. I have some of their parts.

Works has been great to deal with. I have their 70mm downpipe, High Flow Cat, and their P2R software. Everything has been perfect thus far. I really love the way the software made the car feel. I always appreciated the quick spooling midrange pull my MR had stock. When I installed my exhaust, although pulling much harder up top, lost some of the lower end, midrange spunk it once had. Now after the flash that spunk has returned and the car just feels like an animal. I have not experienced another Evo before and after software so that makes my input somewhat limited.

Great parts, great customer service.

If you want your car to look and run like it's stock, but be a whole lot faster, Works is a very good way to go.
