Good Deal
AT: 
My new splitboard works beautifully and cost way less then buying a new one. The center cut line is not perfectly straight which makes it more endearing. The only trouble is that the binding puck hardware doesn't use a T-nut like all the other mounted stuff and the puck ripped off at the end of the day. But I think this will be easily remedied by buying some screws and nuts from Voile. Then it will be perfect. Super easy.
So much better then the old Burton system...
DMC(Hunter):
Ripped that Burton system off my split and replaced it with the Split Dec. Kit... Was skinning and riding with a friend on Mt Washington (NH) when I knew it had to happen.. Took me 6 times as long to switch with Burton then my friends Voile' system... No brainier..
Voile split decision kit
kcr4fletch@netscape.net: 
Overall, with regard to performance, the split kit works well with my Burton BMC 166 (better than the Voile boards) and although I am proud of the job that I did, I think that the value is not comparable to buying a factory-assembled setup (i.e., when you add up the cost of the split kit, the extra labor & parts cost at the ski shop, the time spent assembling the kit, and the cost of the board.)The instructions are very, very poorly written (e.g., what size countersink bit should be used?), several parts were missing or didn't match the instructions, the T-nuts are very poor quality, and the wood screws for the mounting plates are too short. I had to pay $40 to have the board split and to replace the crappy T-nuts with P-tex covered T-nuts and have heli-coils inserted to hold the too short screws. I never did receive the longer screws from Voile as promised. Although I was given a $10 discount for all my troubles, I spent much more buying different size bits and having the better T-nuts and wood screws/heli-coils installed.

Great product! If you follow the instructions carefully and have all of the equipment & tools, you'll have a splitboard in no time. For me it took about 10hrs. to do it (more or less depending on organization). Instructions are pretty clear, they skimp in places. But a lot easier then i thought it would be. Just be careful, don't go too fast, and make sure you got all of the hardware (i'm missing one bolt and T-nut, don't know if it was them or me?). I give the kit a 10! I just might do another one!
sooo easy!
