Had one on my Imola kit. Took it to reedspeed & It made 19Hp on his dyno. Went really well Great top end power.
Then after about 1500 miles it started blowing. When I checked it out and took it off it snapped in half on one of the joints.
Never learn myself, but you're better off in the long run paying the extra dollar & getting the real deal, but it worked really well and maybe mine was a one off.

I used one on an Imola to great effect, no problem with it. Made the gearing taller and fitted an exhaust that was 3 times the price and killed it's performance. Gearing is critical with revvy exhausts like the Sterling or ScootRS, don't go higher than 5.2 final drive. Don't know of any of the Viet companies offering these exhausts in RB guise so it may have been adapted over here.
