Ordered from Ebay for a whopping $200 delivered and it rocks (had to try it). It is a tanabe clone but sounds great and looks great. No mods required, bolts right up. A nice deep tone and gets aggressive at high acceleration. Not sure about the quality of the stainless. its impossible to tell so early but will report.

Looking good, just got an M2 myself for the 350 and installed last weekend...it's been great for the 200 dollar price tag. Truly a Tanabe clone, nice tone on acceleration, no drone at all and nice looking tips and mufflers. While I did initially have concerns about fitment being a "knockoff", I was very impressed with how well it bolted up. I'll take some pics and sound clips when I have time, but no regrets at all and for the price it's worth a try!

Yep I think they are all the same, M2, Top Speed Pro-1, etc. No fitment issues, leaks or anything - only small issue was my left side muffler was sitting slightly low (same issue as Tanabe users seem to have) but I fixed that with zipties for a temporary remedy until I have time to get it back up on ramps and readjust at the flange. Shipping was fast for me but I'm in socal, same as the seller on ebay.

So I'm guessing it being a Tanabe clone, it sounds the basically like a Tanabe? I was hoping it'd be more on the HKS hi-power sound in terms of DB's.
I like loud exhausts, but looking for one that has the form factor of a Tanabe. I've had HKS Hi-Power before, and didn't like the look, but liked the sound
