£139 for a cat back stainless exhaust is way too cheep. It probally be made with very thin metal and badly fabricated. The metal alone to make a good exhaust would cost more than that.

If you want a decient exhaust go for a Haywood and Scott or Blitz will cost more but last as long as the car.

You get what you pay for.

Just double check,for which version you are buying exhaust,because i brought one from him(which is Toyosports ltd. in Birmingham) and does't fit on Bugeye-New Age(was too low and hitting every speed bump).Quality is good(its stainless steel) but fitting its not best,you are need lots of adjustment etc..
Please beware before eBay specials Exhaust,Turbos etc.
If you really want cheap exhaust,try here For Sale or just look for any Subaru Breakers.

The thing in the back box is a bung which can be removed.

Welds on that back box look shocking. You'll probably find the hangers fall off. Best avoided IMO.

I bought a simular exhaust from ebay for my old ek4 civic. It was shocking, qaulity seemed to be good, however when i came to fit it it just would not marry up well.

The sound was not great either.

It was on the car no more than 3 weeks and i had to change it.

Keep an eye on the for sale section, you may find a bargain there, or go for cobra/japparts

Have one on my car. Quality is good, sound is nice but needed a little tweaking to fit properly. Would buy another.

If you compare eBay exhaust with the Japspeed exhaust is its same,but price is almost 100£ more in Japspeed.

Hi mate - i nearly bought one of these the other week, i emailed the shop asking if they did it in a 2.5" bore as the 3" wouldnt fit my standard system.....they emailed back saying that it would....which i still didnt believe....so i found someone who had bought the same exhuast from them and sent them a message on ebay asking how well it fitted etc....

....got a reply back from the guy who said it was terrible, didnt fit properly at all despite what they tell you....he consequently ended up buying a decent cat back and said it was going back on ebay and not to waste my money!!!

Buy cheap crap like that and you'll pay twice. It's a performance car so buy good quality parts, not cheap ****!

Blitz and Haywood & Scott Are the best on the market IMHO for a reasonable price.

Forgot about HKS. The super dragger is very quiet though so I've heard. Never had one...
