i'd stay away from anything that says "super great braided flex" in the manufacturer ad.

The general opinion on these forums is that anything from Stone Mountain Racing is a complete waste of money, and they are horrible quality.

i would be afraid to be anything cheap like that because you'll probly get one with a beehive in it.

I bought tje pipe. It is 2 1/4 inch, I think.
Before bying, I asked several people, some of them had problems with instalation. I also had a minor problem: the distance between header parts was a bit short, but I managed to fix it without cutting, I just put in a handle from my jack in the front part and tried to unbend it (did it with my brother standing on the flex end of the pipe). So it worked, couple mm was enough.
The pipe works great, I can feel it. It is just a bit noisier than with stock on 2200-2700 RPM. But after 3000 it is actually quieter.
I feel it is a good bargain, hope you won't have much problems installing it.
