as far as gains go, i dont have any offical numbers but it has definitely gained more power. it gets up to 100 a hell of a lot quicker than it did with my stock exhaust. I would def recommend this one

Well its not custom but it was customized...lol The Artisan set up is only made for the 3.5 A/C and i have the 2.5. its a simple bolt on for the 3.5 and everything goes where it needs to.

As far as puttin it on a 2.5, the main pipe is a couple inches too long, so all that needs to be done is to have a couple inches of it cut out and welded back together and it will fit just fine. pretty much any shop that can install it can cut and weld it too. Just make sure they cut it before the muffler or it wont fit quite right. it took about an hour and a half from start to finish and cost me $130.

Heres some pics
