Default Thoughts on the "Vibrant" muffler(s) ?

Any experiences good or bad in regards to this particular muffler? I know it's been used in few applications, at least with XFR's. GSR (Trinity) apparently equipped an XFR with Vibrant mufflers for a European Magazine comparo against an M5 years ago.
I'm in the process of deciding whether to go with an off the shelf system or semi-build an exhaust system from scratch. I'm not the type to go against the grain, but if these mufflers are of good quality then perhaps I'll consider utilizing them when the time comes to address the exhaust system.

-Thanks

I am currently running the GSR Autosport exhaust that was used in that comparo. This system does indeed use the Vibrant mufflers and I have had zero issues with the system both under daily driving and multiple track day situations. I quite enjoy the sound they provide!

I assume GSR no longer offers that particular system? They most likely sold the handful of axle-backs they fabricated for that build.
At any rate, were the dual-dual tips able to clear the rear bumper cutouts? They appear relatively short... Just curious.

GSR made the one and they aren't interested in making more. They said it took a lot longer than they expected.

Right, makes sense I suppose.

They only made one system unfortunately. The dual tips cleared my rear cutouts just fine and I rather enjoy the larger diameter of the tips. At this point I have driven around 50,000 miles with the exhaust and I have no issues to report!
