Don't expect much of an increase in performance without a major increase in the air intake to the car.. You can only exhaust what air comes into the intake and no more..
The second set of SHM pipe pictures shown were from my car..

.. They are not SS but did come with a ceramic coating. The pictures were taken last year when the install was 3 years old.
If you are interested in doing the best you can with a mod, then the long pipes are worth the money.. If you just want to do something to your car, then get one of the less expensive sets.
