£150 don't seem bad as opposed to £300! mine will be running over 400bhp hopefully so this will do the trick.

Had one of these bout 6years ago on the bug for a few months...

Steering knuckle was hitting downpipe on fitment also not angled proper to mate to the turbo so took longer to modify to fit what a ball ache
then after few months the weld broke from the flange! and a big hole where the metal was too thin on the exhaust near the flange that joins to the turbo side it couldn’t hack the pops and bangs

Binned it put a blitz downpipe on no more problems after that

Maybe they have come along way since then.... maybe but I stay away from any item that ends in speed but that’s just me lesson learnt
