Summary:
I got my Greddy Evo exhaust installed today and all I can say is that I love it! I love the sound and it looks great. It has a nice low, throaty sound to it. Its not all buzzy like the cheaper exhausts. I totally recommend this product to anyone who is thinking about buying an aftermarket exhaust.

Strengths:
Great sound It looks great

Weaknesses:
Cop Magnet!!

Summary:
This system was great for the first year until it started to rust and now full blown disaster. You''d think for the price it would last at least 5 years. Unless you like giving money away I would stay clear from this product. I hear that this system does not last long with some serious rust problems. I''m now looking into getting a stainless steel system like Thermal R&D... something that lasts!!!!

Strengths:
Great looks, easy fit

Weaknesses:
Expensive and does not last. You would think that an expensive system like this would last more than 1.5 years. Total waste of money!!!!

Summary:
I was looking for a good quality exhaust with a nice deep tone and decided on the Greddy Power Extreme. The quality of the welds are nice, and overall the piping is costed with a thin coat of anti-rust coating. If your looking for a nice deep tone and none of the highway annoying sound I suggest the Greddy. As far as problems I had with the system was clearence of the rear aftermarket sway bar. I have a Neuspeed sway bar and the exhaust bend just after the can would rest on the sway bar bracket. While my car was only lowered about 2" it caused a bad vibration in the rear. What I had to do was have the piping rewelded but this should be noted if you intend to purchase this system. Also after 2 1/2 years on my car living in CA I noticed that the can started to develop very slight rust spots. Another problem is the hight of the can, if you have a lowered car and a drive way you will scrape. I highly recommend either the Greddy Evo which is the new version and has a much higher can.

Strengths:
Sounds (very nice, deep, not ricey even on my D16), Power (noticed a slight gain in top end, easier to rev, not worth $450).

Weaknesses:
Looks (Big can systems are kinda out), Rust (High quality stainless shouldn''t rust but it was very slight on the can), Pipe hits the sway bar (Some after market sway bars might hit the piping, ask around before buying).

Summary:
I had the Greddy PE exhaust installed onto my 1997 240SX.

Performance- Noticed about 10% loss in power at around 1500-2500RPM. Gained about 15% in power around 3000RPM+

Sound- Very quiet. I drove from Colorado to California and did not even notice the sound. (That's hours of high-speed driving at around 3000RPM~4000RPM)

Fit- It was ALMOST a perfect fit. Have not yet scraped it anywhere. No problem with clearance.

Looks- Looks great!!!

Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase. I wouldn't know how it performs compared with other models, but one thing I know for sure, it is alot more quiet.

Strengths:
Build quality, sound, looks.

Weaknesses:
little expensive.
