I think jay cupraa said hed bought one of these ask him how he went on with fitting it mate

I bought one and it really didn't fit. The pipe wanted to exist in the same place as the bulkhead and it hit the underneath of the car.

In my haste, I decided to try and dint a section in but then it became obvious the underneath was an issue too. To think, I could have just sent it back!

Just be wary - it was a nicely made product for certain with great welds and it might be the case the one I was sent was for a Golf. It's still here actually..

These are renowned not to fit! I bought one and sent it back after trial fitting it

Never bought one of those ones but my 3" decat from Blueflame was less than £200.

I got it from Blueflame as i said.

I think there actually designed for the Leon, hence why they all hit the bulkhead.

I had one from ths and that was annoying, it fitted just shook the whole car.

did you not have any problems with it hitting the bulkhead ? so which bit do you have to cut ? also did u find much difference in the performance ? cheers

 

[JayWinter]

it jst catches the bulkhead slighty mate no problems tho and when it comes u have the choice of 3"-standard 3"-2.5" or 3"-3" and the 2.5" is in the middle so jst lap of the standard size and its perfect if u want my advice buy it and get sum exhaust heat wrap only bout £7 and wrap it just to stop the vibration on the bulkhead. it sounds well n runs alot better aswell mate. are u gunna get tha lamba mapped out or buy a spacer??

 

[dannyboi321]

iv just bought a spacer for the time being nut will be having it mapped out eventually, thanks for the advise think i may get 1 if i only need slight modifications to fit

 

[JayWinter]

yep its litterally a 2 min job with a hack-saw or grinder.
let us no how u get on matey

 

[dannyboi321]

will do bud cheers
