i think kharekatoh has got one fitted to his. i get most of my parts from there as i only live 10 minutes away from the shop and the exhausts look fine

very true mate.
There pretty good quality from what i see and the sound is very good. They come with the bits you need too so its all there (only thing you need to buy is 2 exhauslt clamps. I think one of mine was 45mm and the other was 52mm.
Fit though is slight problem. It hangs pretty far to the right (looking from behind) and i had to use cable ties to hold it very still in place so it roughly in the middle-ish. The other problem is it sticks out a far bit, i think its made to fit big bumper models as a perfect fit, but small bumpers loking abit chavvy (its almost inline with the rear bumper if you look at it sideways)
Apart from that though, for £130 i paid for mine im pleased, and it turns heads when im around, sound spretty decent, not too loud and rattly can like, but kin dof refined and sporty, and it pops very nicely when giving it the beans and once warm.
