vishnu turboback?

http://www.vishnutuning.com/parts_evo.htm#1

hey all! has anyone bought the new turbo back from vishnu for $1350? looks awful cheap, but requires a lot of labor, was wondering if anyone out there has one and how the fitment and sound were?!?

I believe it's a four piece system...
turbo outlet
downpipe
midpipe/cat
muffler..........all 3" in diam.

$1350 is not cheap for a turbo back!

I have the exhaust and it is far from cheap. Its probably one of the nicest turbo backs on the market. It fits perfect and is not very loud. I don't know about a lot of labor either. It took me about an hours time to remove my stock exhaust and put the Vishnu one on. You will have a harder time with the removal of the stock exhaust than anything. One last thing, with the Vishnu exhaust you get what you pay for (quality).

I've had that exhaust on my car for over a year now. Decent sound; not too loud and doesnt drone on the highway. The install is a bit of a pain (you need to move the radiator out of the way and pull the exhaust manifold) but the power is nice. The fitment is good and it's sturdy enough that I'm not woried about it ever falling off the car.

I'm definitley happy with the purchase.

If you're planning a on a "kit" turbo upgrade down the road, the similiar exhaust that connects to the standard O2 housing might save you replacing front pipe later (along with some work now). It would depend on the kit you choose.
