Topspeed Pro-1 Exhaust

Topspeed Pro-1 Exhaust
So my 8 year old OBX exhaust is past the point of saving, and I wanted to go up a bit from my 2.25" diameter. All of the local muffler shops here wanted $500 to $700ish for a mild steal 2.5" exhaust system, so I have been keeping my eyes open online for a custom used setup or something new. I was on ebay and came across this:
It's called a Topspeed Pro-1 exhaust, and they confirmed with me that it is a full 2.5" exhaust all the way through. It actually seems quite unique from the pictures. The resonator is located in the place where the muffler sits, and a tiny *** muffler is where the tip is. I'm not expecting much muffling, but that's fine. Looking for good flow. I'll post up my impressions once I get it installed.
Here's a link to it. Seems like they're popping up on ebay more and more

And not to confuse it with this pile of junk that goes from 2" to 2.5"

Well I just installed in my car, and everything went really smoothly. Took about 45 mins to get the old one out and put the new one in. Everything fit really well, and no banging on anything like my old OBX did. Also turbo spools up so much quicker with a 2.5" exhaust over the 2.25... can't believe it. But holy fak this thing is loud. It's just a really really low sound, and there is no muffling going on here. It's just two resonators.

It does hang very low, I'm using this on my car.
Great sound, and that's the reason I bought it.
When I ran it on N/A, it was too loud, but after installing my rotating exhaust damper (aka turbo) it went down to a very nice level.
Cheap as hell, and stainless steel, so it's a win-win.
BUT, if you have the lower rear brace, it will get in the way.

There's some pics of the rear brace issue here, why would they design it like that?
