According to Jeff P... Stromung may have been poor, but no longer is.  I 
believe he's telling it like it is.  Even on the older ones I've seen, there are 
certainly positive qualities.  They fit well, and appear to be well put 
together.  The material is nice, and the welds are good.  I would also say the sound 
is pretty nice too... without too much annoying drone in the cabin.

So, I guess it depends on what you're after.  If you're looking for a 
performance improvement, I'd say that your money would be better spent on other 
items... at least until some real data is presented comparing the aftermarket unit 
to the stock system.  However, if you're looking for a nice looking and nice 
sounding system, that also offers a substantial weight loss, the Stromung 
(latest and correct version) would probably be your best bet from a fit and finish 
perspective.

They are comparatively easy to remove for doing drivetrain work.
