I've got one. It's good. It's not a loud exhaust, which i like. Also, when i bought my car, it had an Ansa on it. After i had it a couple years or so, it rusted out on the sides. I have no idea how long it was on there, but i liked the tip on it better because it was oval. I bought another Ansa anyway, and so far so good. Like i said, i liked the older Ansas tip better, because the newer ones,(or at least mine) the tips are kind of a big circle, but not to big.

If you care about performance at all, axle-backs are not the way to go. If you just want the "sound," I can't help you out.

Just as long as you have header, high flow cat(which i don't), bigger diameter mid section(which i don't, mine is still stock) and a performance axle back(ansa), i don't see why it would'nt be the way to go.

It creates the need to have an exhaust shop fabricate the "missing" cat-to-axle section (from mild steel,) plus who knows what kind of muffler Ansa uses. If you have already had one rust out, that's not a good sign (on par with Pacesetters that rust out after a few years.)

Okay, i have a dc header with 2.5 pipe all the way back and i'm just looking for a stock looking style instead of a fart can like what mine came with. I like the stock dual tips but havent seen an exhaust system that keeps that oem look. Thanks guys

U can get a flowmaster exhaust. But u still have to have some fabrication to get it on there. It will look like "oem" but I think it'll come out from the passenger side instead of the driver's side. I mean "oem" as in it has a resonator and small exhaust port.
