I honestly don't notice much HP gains....only because I have never stomped on it....the sound alone was worth the money. As far as the interior....black is just too damn hot for Vegas....besides, I REALLY like the two -tone.

This was the absolute hardest thing I've done yet. I TOTALLY had to destroy my old pedal to get the damn pin out. It's done and I never want to talk about it again.
I would have GLADLY paid $100 for someone else to do it. SUCKED.

I would really recommend going through one of the vendors on the forums. There is no warranty on ebay purchased items, and since those guys are not direct, it's a crapshoot at best whether you actually get the system within a reasonable time frame. ~no one~ has these in stock-- sold out until September, and everything coming in August is spoken for.
PM Tanabe USA for recommendation

Don't even try eBay now. All the ones you see now doesn't have them in stock, yet...they list they do.
Exhaust looks great, plus the pedals and fogs! I love this exhaust, everytime I see a 2IS next to me, I punch it and show them my IS has this nice exhaust tone. hahaha I'm such a a**munch. 
The gas pedal is the absolute worse install I ever did. It was so hard to do. I also widened the pin, good thing I was able to save it.
Darren, Should have called me. I would have loved to sit and watch.
Did you save my number now? Or must I call you at 3AM again while I'm drunk?

"thanks for the payment, however this item is currently on backordering, we can either issue a full refund or we can put you in our backorder list, and will ship it out once we got it from tanabe USA"

Yeah, I wouldn't put a lot of trust in those guys. Most ebay guys (though there are some exceptions) will say anything to get a sale. If I buy something from ebay, it's usually from end user to end user and used/rare...when I see a big list of parts with all of the same picture and descriptions....aiya....
Most of the ebay guys put a low buy it now price but have ridiculous shipping prices so they can work around the paypal surcharge, which I find kind of sneaky-- makes me question their ethics on how they handle other parts of their business.
