I have a 92 4dr LX and had the Thermal R&D Stealth catback setup on it for about 4 months. I got it brand new on ebay for $350. I was easy to install and sounded great as far as the tone of the exhaust was considered. The thing I didn't like was that it was not the correct fit for my car. Where the center pipe bends (after the resonator and before the axle) it touches the frame of the car and eventually starts to rattle very loudly. I traded the exhaust to a friend with a 96 HX for his stock exhaust and his HX rims and tires and he had the same problem with the exhaust hitting the frame. He ended up getting a custom piece made at and exhaust shop to correct the problem.

other than fitment, I think it looked and sounded great... not too loud, but louder than stock for sure. I think the HP gains were pretty minimal though, they might have been more psychological than anything.

hope that helps somebody out there
