the SSautochrome has had several reviews on this site, its pretty much luck of the draw and who you ask about their quality. A 02 housing leaking will not affect the turbo performance so you will not lose power but after seeing some of the stuff I have seen I would say buyer beware. N1s are popular and the work, there is not drain hole in the bottom back of the canister so when you wash your car or if you get lots of snow/ rain rusting the back out is common. Mine rotted out, but other than that, they are nice, there is also a write up on the megan DP in the bolt on forums and the thread starter seemed to like it and if slowboy is selling it, then it has to be good. Here is that thread on the megan DP http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=193367

I would also look at upgrading your intake and IC piping, BOV (since the stocker is about worthless), and then a boost gauge. http://www.dsmtuners.com/tuning-guide/2gturbo/stage1power.php

I got lucky and got a good set from SSautochrome. If i had to choose again, i would not go through them. I also have the 3" Megan downpipe and i love it. That would be a good choice, they make some good exhuaust pipes.

I have the megan downpipe, and it looks to be very good quality. I had it chopped so I could have a 3" high flow cat put in aswell since the pipe is a cat eliminator. Also, the megan downpipe necks down to 2.5" at the end flange, why? I don't know but it does. The other parts I really don't know about. Personally, I choose a magnaflow muffler to keep it looking stock'ish. The note is pretty deep, but it is still loud. I just bought a 3"x12" resonator from RRE to try and quash some noise. Though from the look of it the N1 already has 2 resonators on it.
