Wouldn't mess with the downpipe section, I'd put it in the decat bit. Should fit inbetween the two lamda holes no trouble :)

hi guys, does anyone have a pic of how this exhaust comes in the box? Size etc?
Im only asking as a friend of mine is visiting the states + is trying to bring this back with him.
Did anyne who got it shipped to their uk address get charged import tax?
thanks

These are not actually 42 draft exhausts though are they? Using magnaflow silencers?
It's just a copy design?
The original draft exhausts are cheap in the US.
But places like awesome smack a hefty premium

Ive got fitted and If im honest I think they are very much so UNDER-PRICED for what you recieve  :shocked: :cool:

The quality is A***: welds, Bends, material etc etc.

Regards to noise, even though they are 3" straight through pipe, they are fairly quiet inside the car.

there are some videos in my project thread near the bottom of the page!

hope this helps

Anyone got any more vids so i can hear what this sounds like i dont want it to sound to over the top  :rolleyes:
