i've had it for quite some time before moving onto the stillens, and it was a quality exhaust. if you're referring to the styling, then that's all subjective. obviously there are some who like the look and want the flow of that design. if so, why not go for it? i'm too tired of people just knocking the system, only to have 10 other people jump on the bandwagon because it's 'cool' to hate the hipers...lol.
