We installed a few before, fitment is not that bad, the sound is horrible. It sounds like a big foot crying after someone ran over his junk piece.

I got a bad one... I bought a "2.5" stainless exhaust for my '92 GSR. in the listing it shows a tape measure by the pipe and it looks like 2.5" piping but its the angle of the photo its really just 2.25. The piping was actual stainless but the flanges are not. It was not even close to fitting, and I had to pay an additional $300 to have it all cut apart and fitted properly. Now that its on there it sounds terrilble. I tried installing a silencer, (which also didn't fit) and it still sounds terrible just a little bit quieter. A friend of mine has an Ebay 3" exhaust on his EG and it fit great and sounds good, thats why I took a chance on it. I won't make that mistake again.

Mines not even that bad. I bought the 2.5in b pipes and got a custom axleback with a WS2. Sounds real good.

Im pretty sure they rot on the inside. From cheap material and stuff. But the Bpipes are straight. Change the muffler FTW
