bosal/brospeed cat-back

Is anyone running this one or have any opinions on it? It seems to be the cheapest one I can find that's stainless, and since I have the money now, I am looking for opinions on this...sound, quality, numbers, etc. I don't think anything will match the sound of the apexi muffler I have now, but I've learned buying a catback from a company is better than a muffler shop custom.

I just have a Bosal Brospeed muffler on my car, it's loud, but not obnoxiously loud, and it definetly helped with the performance gains.

Thumbs up bosal/brospeed cat-back

I installed a Bosal catback on my Pro5 a couple of weeks ago. Easy install (one hour doing it solo in the driveway).
A bit boomy at certain RPM's (3,500 or so). Not obnoxiously loud outside. Seemiingly some minor performance improvement. Sounds cool in the garage at work. Was less than $300 from NOPI delivered; they were running a special, which finalized my decision.
How do you lIke the AEM?

Thanks for the feedback,

The aem is a nice unit. The power really comes through at the top end on mine, as compared to an even power band I had when I was running cold air. The torque was noticable too at first, but after a while it blends into your expectations.
