They're supposed to be good. They certainly look nice and the people I know with them on the cars don't have noise issues at Tracks either.
I know that Nickccc, TC and BossCerbera all have them fitted and without issues as far as I know. I think someone was experiencing a few problems, but don't know the detail. I would probably fit one if I could afford it - my Cerbera is just too loud at the moment!

That was me. I had the full system fitted with the linked decat pipes but was noisy at 109db. It turns out the 98db claim is on a car with cats, but I only found this out after I'd spent a fortune getting my car checked over completely as my car was blaimed. GrahamN has just had one fitted and kept his cats to get onto trackdays. The other issue I had was that the tailpipes were out by 12mm and so hit/damaged my rear vallence. I also had scorch marks from the close fit. Again I was told this was down to my car, but the dimensions were identical to every other cerbera I checked.Despite SP having my car for a week nothing was ever resolved and I took them to court with the help of my local trading standards and won, but didn't get my money back as SP closed and Matt moved.
In all honesty, it depends on what you want. On heavily tuned cars some have reported good results and the noise note is good. I think a couple of years ago it was probably the best around but things have moved on and I believe others have better systems available or in the pipeline. It's heavy and compromises road clearance compared to other systems, but is similar in dimensions to the original TVR rear box.
Personally I went with an ACT system as a replacement and have been extremely happy with the quality and service from ACT

. I was trying to present a balanced and honest view without starting another thread around your SP exhaust experiences (no offence intended of course ), so I didn't name you. It's one of those things - if you (as in one) ask enough people a question, you can often stack the odds in favour of the answer you want to believe, it just helps to justify it the decision
. (That's what I do anyway! 
.Glad you now have a solution you're happy with though
. Happy and Cerbera should always be in the same sentence .
