To sum it up in three words... excellent customer service. I ordered a Larini Sport Style exhaust from Shinoo last week. I had originally ordered a different, more expensive set-up. However, shortly after I placed the order online and before they shipped it out, I called Shinoo with some concerns. Instead of selling me the more expensive exhaust I originally ordered, he suggested the less-expensive, Sport Style would best suit my wants and needs. Not many salespeople would have done that. Thanks again Shinoo!
BTW, I love the tone of the exhaust. Fairly quiet at idle, but a nice, mature, burbly rumble that grows when you get on the gas. My only complaint with the exhaust is the tips were not perfectly lined up when they were welded on. One side is angled down slightly more (about 1/8" to 1/4") than the other. You can't tell when looking down directly from the top, but it is noticeable from various side and rear angles. As my wife said, she would have probably never noticed unless I pointed it out. Anybody else have this same issue? I read in a few posts that the older rear-exit SE tips sometimes drooped a bit, but I believe that was from clamps loosening up over time.

kabinski, I have a Larini Sport (new generation - welded) and absolutely love it. Though, it will do your head in after spending a day on the track (and makes me consider the quieter 8-inch Larini at times).
I have had issues with the exhaust clamp slowly coming loose (where the exhaust slips onto the cat) over time. I bought S111's exhaust clamp (haven't installed it yet) to see if it eliminates the problem. You might take your Larini Sport exhaust to a muffler shop to have them align the tips. If it is already installed on your car, then remove the diffuser before visiting the muffler shop in case they need to whip out a torch to heat something up. Enjoy.

I had an excellent buying experience with Shinoo and Sector...on wheels and tires....also. It was all the more heightened by first wasting 6 months of my life with some other hightly touted wheel bozo that I unfortunately tripped over on this forum....so you never know. But Sector and Shinoo are on the money.
