Probably didn't fit because the tolerances on these chinese items are +/- the nearest tree!!!

Avoid at all cost!

It's a good exhaust, u couldn't get a system made for that price , my catback cost me £100 and 40 quid to fit , I'm chuffed to bits with it ,

If you want a cheap, but nice sounding exhaust that flows nicely then this a good buy.

I personally don't think these should be avoided!!

Get a proper one from one of the established traders
Non of this cheap EBay stuff
Buy cheap buy twice
Costs more in the long run
Save up a couple of hundred more and get a proper job
For ten years I've been on scoobynet and read of cheap parts and jobs that cost more in the long term

i had similar to this on my MY03wrx and the only issue with fitting was the hanger on the downpipe didnt line up. but it didnt affect the the lining up of the flanges. it is quite loud but rather boomy if your a passenger in the back seats. for that price id get it!

Looks cheap and nasty.

35BHP minimum increase just from changing the exhaust system?!? - that's for all models - bull**** exhaust, bull**** claims and i would hazard a guess at a bull**** advert.

stay away from it, i had a mate who had one and the wields cracked on it (YES WIELDS) so it wont last you long. look around there are loads of good second hand systems out there for a fraction of the price they where new, much better quality than that ebay cheep crap.

Yup, i had a second-hand cat-back mongoose system - it was in great condition and lasted just fine.

I don't have one, but suspect that the emissions would be a dead cert fail when undertaking the next MOT. Maybe that's a contributing factor in it apparently not fitting as well as it might lol. (I'm a cynic)
