Since nobody offered before-and-after timeslips out of all those posts, I think you can conclude that those who have the system don't have that data.
The information you need to make a decision is probably there, though: Cheap ($155); sounds decent; potential for restriction at the muffler inlet (necks down to 2-1/2").
To fix that potential restriction, Summit sells a 3" inlet, dual 2-1/2" outlet on opposite sides Flowmaster for $79.95 plus their $6.75 per order fee. That puts you at a little over $240, and you'll have a muffler you can throw away. I haven't seen any 3" cat back system with the dual opposite outlets for that money.
