3G$1000GSR: I dunno... I have a 94 GS-R, and I'm very glad I went with a brand-name exhaust (GReddy Evo). If you look around, you can usually find a good deal (I got mine for about $475 shipped), and I've always been a brand-name whore.
Also, my GReddy did have an exhaust leak... at a weld, oddly enough! But, thankfully, two quick calls and 3 days later, I had a whole new Evo put onto my car. And if it fails again, I have another 2 1/2 years on my warranty, and I can get it repaired at any approved warranty shop, not just the shop that I bought it from.
And as to keep from hijacking the thread:
LudeRage: I'd go with the GReddy... I've become a big fan after actually owning something from that company, and their warranty service was pretty damn quick.
