Default GP MOTO Turboback

I think I found a nice turboback and I'm looking for some opinions and I'm curious if anyone has seen and/or heard this system in person on a Impreza?

$700/shipped: :o

- Full 3 inch stainless steel construction
- Large bellmouth downpipe with flex section
- Extra 02 bung for easy wideband installation
- Quick release, no leak, v band clamp for axleback section
- Reinforced mounts
- Mechanical 02 fix
- New "turbo look" silencer

I'm not too thrilled about the look of the silencer but that aside it looks pretty sweet. The price seems to too good for such a complete systems so I'm hesitating a bit.

I also found some sound clips (they sound the same to me):

- With silencer: http://www.dynamispeed.com/images/Movies/000_0009.zip

Haven't heard of it, but it looks pretty darn sexy.

I've talked to someone and they said it's a big ass POS in person and they wouldn't waste money on it.

I'm now considering the Helix Turboback for about $750/shipped. I was originaly going to do with the Helix downpipe and just stick with the Prodrive rear section but the 3 inch from the downpipe to 2.5 on the midpipe is bothering me. I'm too sure I'm too hot about the look of the Helix catback. It seems to look out of place on these pictures. Opinions?















I'm just having a hard time justifying paying $500+ for a catback like the Blitz or HKS or otherwise I'd just get one of those and a Helix downpipe and be done with it. <ugh>

I was real happy with my helix DP and UP, works great with the V2 Manifold and my HKS bandwagon exhaust, but I agree the total for all of that was alot

I decided to just screw it and ordered the Helix downpipe. If I'm unsatisfied with the way it mates up I'll either order a 3 inch catback to replace the Prodrive or have a local shop fabricate a pipe to replace the OEM resinator section to include a smooth taper down to 2.5 inch.
