Anyone have any experience with these?

I want to throw one on my 2 but i'm not sure yet.

What are the pros/cons and I love the sound from them.
 
Pros:
-Possible power gain
-No second cat to deal with

Cons:
-Possible power loss
-Costs time/money to fabricate
-Noise level may get you pulled over
-Go riceracer go!
 
I still have a cat so it's not a full straight pipe but I deleted my muffler and welded a pipe out the back sounds great I reccomend it
 
I drove with a pure straight pipe for a bit before.. nothing from the header back. No secondary cat, no res, no muffler, stock sized piping. It was loud, but sounded wicked lol. I then went to put on 1 res with 2.25" piping, then ended up with 2 resonators, and that's what I liked the most.
