Everything in the box & well packed inside (outside was rough but it WAS shipped...)
Instalation was a bit of a challange as that I have Happy Trail side mounts for my Teton side boxes.I had to cut / shim the mounting points & spacing of the mufflers and aquiring longer bolts. After Initial install I had leaks at the lower pipe joints & had to pull back down and use some "Ultra" pipe seal to fix it.
I had already installed a Dobeck box & had it sorted out & with the Quiet inserts in performance was slightly stronger & sound quality is good without being too loud. Pulled the inserts & picked up a noticeable gain over 6,500 rpm with another "click" richer on the hi speed box adjustment.
Substantial (feels like over 20 lbs.) weight savings over stock.
85% of a Staintune system at 1/3rd of the price.
I can recommend this system.
As per usual, Excellent service & response from RevZilla.

Quality & finish is very good. I was pleasently suprised how light it was.
The interior is o.k. for this price range but Not what I expected. My Iasus speakers were an absolute no way in this helmet, but it overall was MUCH tighter fit than I was expecting.....(I'm a measured 59cm~ Large).
The shield operates nicely but fogs easily & badly in cold weather (without pinlock) and the mid range detents have loosened up a Lot in a years worth of everyday commuting.
It seals up in wet weather riding as well as any helmet I have ever used, with no distortion and a Very good field of vision.
The less than complete satisfaction is mostly my fault as that I wore it riding 20 mins. after recieving it so I did not feel it to be fair to send it back.... to get another model or size.
Since then I have gone down to the thinnest cheek pads and while it is much more comfortable, it's much too round for me. My nose touches the faceshield.
My last 2 lids were a HJC & a Arai.
The "Moral" to this tale is: DO NOT take it outside untill you have worn it around the house first!!!
I will likely replace this Quest with another Arai in the near future. (and likely will buy it from RevZilla!).
The Quest fits my Lady friend (Usually a medieum size) quite well.
