Looks to be OK, but for a little bit more, you can get a redback system. Not saying it's "better" as such, but is more well known and a proven system.

the cost of a redback system would be around what? 400? 500?

considering installation, shipping and warranty is as close as the place its done at.... few extra dollars means a well known proven system.

and for lets say eg. $275 and since josh is in SA thats maybe $100 shipping (i dont really know), your at almost $400

just a thought

i got an unknown brand mandrel bent exhaust.. i got it from a car i wrecked due to rust. and i can say i find it to have an awesome sound. you might find the ebay one has shitty sounding mufflers and your exhaust might be quiet like stock... id find someone who bought that exhaust and see what they thought of it and if you can get a sound clip of it. just check their feedback.

Good point, but a quiet system doesn't mean it's not an improvement. I have a redback twin muffler job on the wagon, and it's reasonably quiet, but works much better than the stock system.

i see your point, its just most people want a desent sound exhaust (i want mine deeper) and unless you specifically ask for what you want you can only get what your given... problem is if you want a deeper sound it might cost you that price again for 2 new mufflers fitted. so my advice is if your after power and sound then sus it out first ;)
