the pure fact that he says it will fit all those different models and also thats its that cheap, might be the same as the volksbit one where it wil need tinkering. But probably will fit.

Cool, i was tempted by it as the price was great but opted for a 2nd hand remus stainless cat back system instead, which was alot more but will hopefully be worth it  :wink:

Kells mine is a direct fit exhaust and is identical to the ones everybody is talking about buying... either my car has the wrong middle pipe (all though it still has the original middle fited?? its a gen vw one al least) or they are a bad fit!!
