You are the one buying it. make the decision for yourself. isnt that hard.

Btw. its not rare when its mass produced. If you want rare, get a custom made muffler.

I use to own a 00' Celica GTS, and the Veilside TearDrop Ti axleback sounded like absolute sex on it...let me try to find a clip, just to give u an idea...

EDIT: Here's a clip of the Veilside on a Celica GTS. The only problem is the exhaust sounds a bit raspy in this clip because it doesn't have a resonator, but at least it will give you some sort of an idea...

I'm not a fan of cheap knockoff mufflers, you pay for what you get.

Paying that much money for JUST a muffler is absolutely rediculous. For all intents and purposes both of those mufflers could be knock-offs.

in my opinion it seems most all "mufflers" are built the same. i wouldnt spend that much money on one. but i agree i wouldnt get a cheap knock off either. just get one that you like
