The look of the exhaust canister from behind? That's subjective. I wasn't a fan at first, but now I don't notice it much anymore.

The connecting pipes are exactly the same as the stock ones and are made of steel which is why they decouple from the Inconel can. You're not supposed to weld steel with the grade of Inconel they use.
I agree that the can isn't the worst looking. It's not smooth and does hang lower than the stock one but I didn't ever mind it much. 80 mph is a very normal cruise speed for me on open freeways and I didn't like to run higher rpm in 6th gear so I got very annoyed at the drone. I couldn't reliably hold a phone call on the freeway. Even in my normal 0-35 mph speed driving, every time I would pass that rpm range I would hear that tone and it would just give me a headache. Hey, if I couldn't have Akra, the only other setups I would consider are MPE gen 2, oem, and Dinan.
