Seems like a deal too good not to try.
Never heard on them but 100% feedback is hard to maintain.

Just be aware that it is an ALUMINUM exhaust, not stainless steel. I'm not sure that's a such a great price for what you're getting.

Also note that the tip is not included. That's about what I would have paid for my MKO system if I didn't buy the tip. I'd verify what size down pipe comes with that kit.

this is not a stainless system. only the muffler and i think the clamps were stainless. the rest of the exhaust was aluminum.
which wont rust, but i dont know how it would handle the heat coming out of the turbo

aluminum can handle the heat just fine. in fact i'm pretty sure it cools off quicker vs. steel. the only issue with aluminum is rust. if you live in an area where the roads are salted in the winter or you live near the ocean stainless steel is a wiser investment.

aluminum does NOT rust. it is non-ferrous alloy

It won't rust, but it will corrode from the road salt used in many areas. If you live in an area that doesn't have lots of corrosives used during the winter or a coastal region then the aluminum works with great success.

Technically no, but like npccpartsman said it will corrode. i was using "rust" as a generic term.
