Of course it works. there have been no recalls on it.
As far as power, 1-2 hp in SOME parts of the power band.

your not really gonna notice any gain from any exhaust systems out there...
it might be there, and if it is, itll be very miniscule, so much so that your not gonna be able to tell the diff.

Sounds better than stock, plus it has warranty from the factory. All that I care about!

I have had both the OEM and the TRD. You will not notice a difference. The sound difference is awesome though.

Sounds perfect.
Looks great.
Stainless, so it's easy to keep shiny and rust-free.
It's great, IMHO.
Yes, I have it.

not when you run over a plastic bag and it melts to it so bad it doesn't come off.

For me, any axle back will do it just depends on what sound you want.

For me I choose a more deep kind of sound. I heard TRD and I heard the concept g, and I liked the concept g better. Not too loud, but yet not to soft and it cost less than the TRD. In the end, if you like it...then go for it. Its your car in the end
