Default Thermal R & D (Research & Development) Exhaust

What you guys and gal think of the Thermal R&D Exhaust?

Is $300 worth it for a used one?

Thank.

They're great for being one of the quieter exhausts and for the OEM look. Gains wise, I'm not sure. But assuming it's in good condition the price is nice considering they retail comparable to most new exhausts at $500+.

I wish the 4th Gen Thermal Classic looked stock. I love a stock looking car with subtle changes.

I have the Thermal Classic and I am not a fan of the muffler portion. It looks kind of lame. I painted the canister flat black too. It looks less obvious, but still has that ricer-esk look. It looks fine from the side, but not from behind the car.

im not a big fan of loud exhausts. if you ever go WOT in car with a cannon, you can hear it a couple blocks away. it attracts cops. my engine is loud enough as it is.
