Let's start with the good points. Super cheap, passes the magnet test so decent grade stainless, welds are very nice and uniform. It sounds fab, not obnoxious (I'm not a teenager haha) but deep and throaty and sound shreqt at full chat, no real drone either. Comes with full bolt set.
Bad points, the passenger side rear box hanger is in the wrong place (about 2+ inches too low) so I had to buy a longer in mx5 rubber hanger. Also none of the hanger have end tabs to stop the rubber bushes from slipping off.
The biggest issue is the fitment was a bit out (maybe just my one) seemed like the front decat pipe flange to downpipe and was a bit to obtuse (few degrees out) which meant down the length of the exhaust at the back box end the whole exhaust was 1-2 inches to far to the drivers side. Also the flanges were not quiet flat so the joints all blew.
With a grinder flap disc and some exhaust sealant on the gaskets I got them to seal and managed to induce a bit more angle in the front flange to get it all to fit okay.
If it wasn't for bargain price and it looking and sounding awesome I'd be a bit more miffed. Overall though you get more than what you pay for ,it's a great exhaust but the low price means it comes with some possible fitment finagling.
Fitment issues - exactly the same as a previous review. The backbox hanger is in the wrong place and the mid-pipe is at the wrong angle to connect to the rest of the exhaust.
The quality of the exhaust itself is decent though. I'm going to try grinding down the mid-pipe to get a better angle but really I shouldn't have to do this.
I Will update when I've done this.
