I'm running there catback exhaust I think the quality is very good and sounds decent to. I don't have any experience with there other products though.

I've heard there turbo's and wastegate's suck, but I hear conflicting info on there manifolds.

1-SSAutochrome has the worst quality when it comes to manifolds...
low angle merge collectors?

look at the welds and see how they just butt-up all the tubing to form the collector
I wish i could find the dozens of photos on honda owners with cracked manifolds, where the turbo or the wastegate fell off (and sometimes hit the ground)

2- ssautochrome turbos are "decent"?

They were selling the same chinese made turbos that u see in that link...
i guess they realized they suck and ordered the real **** now ..

^^yeah, the black label.

I heard that they stopped selling the chinese crap because of it, and really DO sell decent ones now.
