Get a length of scaffolding tube and a pipe bender, probably be cheaper! No experience of them but it'll make it loud I'd have thought |

they are s**t don't do it. they fit really bad they rust really quick and make what ever exhaust you have extremely loud they hardly add rasp the only plus to it was when i fitted one with a decat you get flames which in turn then just burnt all the baffling out of the back box making it even louder |

I had one but it was coupled to a de-cat. I had no problems with it and with the decat, it really did sound good!

I had one on an old rallye I had. Standard exhaust other than that. Bit of a rasp not too loud. Did not rumble on tick over or boom on motorway. De cats cause this________________________________________ white rallyecherry dead rallye s16 |
