Default Thermal Exhaust... what up?

I wuz thinkin bout going real custom and lookin for a local with a mandrel bender when I found Thermal's 3" "Turbo" product line. I don't have turbo now, but will some day. Wuz wondering if anyone out there has this system (B137-C137) in their CRX and...
1) How does it perform?
2) Good quality?
3) How much mod is ness to run it without a cat?
4) Where did you find the cheapest price?

BTW: I have a DC Sports 4-2-1 header this will be bolted up to, if that makes a difference.

Any input is appreciated

Can't spell... hung over

I love thermal exhausts, quality ****..... BUT the one problem I have with them, is every single one I've heard without a cat, or with a gutted cat, gets a raspy nasty tone @ high RPMs.......

Hehehehe...I have the regular 2.25 inch catback and I was running a gutted cat for awhile and it was raspy as heck on the top end. Otherwise their products are quality.

I've got the thermal 2.5" on mine also w/a test pipe, and it got raspy, but I still like how it's quieter than other exhausts.
