Default To Strup or not to Strup

Hey all, I have been doing alot of reading and looking around on here but I recently found out that I may have a chance to get some stuff from strup at a decent price. My questions are simple.

Who has a strup header or exhaust on their tC???

Either one or the other, whatever combination is fine. I am looking for first hand impressions of build quality and sound/performance after instal.

Let a man know what you think.

i have a strup header, its a nice looking header. overall i like the gain i feel from it. sound wise with exhaust your going to get rasp, rasp becomes your best friend when you get headers. i dont know how it sounds with a strup exhaust because i have a agency power exhaust. but overall its a good brand in my opinion.

I just got a header and exhaust combo for my 08 tc. First I installed the exhaust which went really well, it sounded a lot better with some deeper tone and no rasp. Throttle response better with noticeable power gain. Easy install, but needed 2 bolts and nuts for attachment to stock pipe. Highly recommended muffler with stock exhaust mani. Then installed the header. Slightly more difficult install, some bolts tricky to get to. Also needed shorter bolts for header to S pipe, used short bolts from support bracket. Sound is loud on acceleration with raspy tone. Check engine light came on very soon. You will need to do the anti-fouler mod. Also silencer added annoying buzz to rasp. I will be looking into resonators but not sure where they could go because there is not much room. Overall power increase with headers and exhaust is very noticeable.
