as much as I have had a problem I think the Freak is the best one. If you are at all capable with metal the brackets are easy to make.

If I was a bit more handy with fabrication I would have liked to have made my own but considering I'm not, whilst the freak is a bit over priced imho it works well and is easy to install to keep the stock look.

One thing everyone so far who has installed one has found is that one of the bolts is a half inch or so longer than it should be and sticks into one of the pod air filters. Just measure how far oversized it is and either buy another one or cut it short. I don't know why it hasn't been fixed by now (maybe it has) but it's something to keep in mind.
