It does sound like good value. Are the cats still in place then? Is there any communication between the 2 pipes i.e X-pipe or H-pipe?

I ordered a cat back system from MOHR in Germany and am regretting it now as they sent me something different to what I originally ordered and it doesn't fit properly which is really annoying and now they won't get back to me.

Do you find yours resonates inside the car at all, especially around 1500-2000 rpm? Mine is awful for that so am in the process of trying different configurations to reduce it as much as possible.

As for my T5, I was thinking about getting a 180 bi-turbo as they're rear wheel drive, but I'm not really a fan of the cam-belt driven 4cyl. Mines been re-mapped but I carry around a fair bit of weight most of the time so it's now on it's 3rd off side drive shaft and stub shaft, which as you probably know is a common problem (terribly designed!!).
How do you find yours? I should imagine it's far more refined than the old 5cyl.
