I've looked at these. . . but the phase " you only get what you pay for" got the better of me so I'll continue to save I think. If you get one post up some thoughts on it tho please.

Looks like a Ninja backbox that I have fitted on mine. Got my Ninja backbox for £220 ish from Scoobyworld and then a centre pipe for £100. Superb quality and really brings the burble out without being intrusive on everyday use. Further more, over a year on, it still has its shine, so looks good as well.

that's a ninja without the "branding". good price if the quality is a good as the "branded" one. had one on my classic before it got squashed by a corsa. was happy with it as an entry level exhaust. now have a h&s japstyle backbox though.

to be fair about the delivery it does say 2 to 4 days for delivery. which if you ordered it on the 9th would take you up until monday before you can shout too much.

Our Ninja exhaust systems are 304 grade stainless throughout. We have seen a copy on the market last year (but in 3" form), with mild steel internals, which obviously wouldnt last anywhere near as long.

but it states 2 to 4 days delivery. doesn't matter when it's sent out as long as you receive it by the end of the day on monday. would be pretty hacked off if i got bad feedback and item was delivered within the time set out in the ad.

delivery is always a problem with e-bay. most of the time you're not dealing with a "proper" company. i prefer to pay that little bit extra and buy from a proper vendor like scoobyworld. only my opinion though.

Neil - are you saying that exhaust is not a ninja, or do unbranded "cheaper" ninjs'a exist?

exhaust came today and is now fitted to the car.

good quality finnish and decent welds but nothing special. fairly quiet exhaust note and worth the money as far as im concerned

Thought earlier it was stated it was a Ninja copy
If it only has "decent, but nothing special welds" I'd send it back
