um they are of poorish quality, they didn't even put the warning light symbol's on them, but hey for all we know they were probably made by someone in a sweat shop in Cuba, hell on top of that they probably tried to smuggle them in with some cigars.....hence why they took so long

ps.... no blame to snowtoy as i know he tried hard to get this group buy together, I solely blame the lame ass chocolate fish (as five bob put it ) at improt intelligence

That looks good guys,

Sorry to be a lameass but wouldn't you be able to get one custom fitted at an exhaust shop that fitted more snugly?

What brand is it? I like the look of the muffler, but going under the rear suspension is just lazy!

Actually not to much louder than factory that was one thing i had on the list of wants, seeing as 3sgtes can sometimes sound like tractors, and well ive grown up a bit since my last system was done, however its loud enough to hear a difference, but im more into how it performs rather than how loud it sounds

sorry no not in a mandrel bent 3" system, trust me on this one there is no where else it can go

Ok its a fujitsubo Legalis r as far as i know the only one in nz however have you even looked under the back of a caldina???? pls enlighten fujitsubo and myself how you would make the exhaust system go above the suspension? im very sure that they dont spend millions of dollars in r&d and then just take the "lazy way"

how do you find the change in performance? More down low or what? saw your car last week in town was looking good, really like the two tone.

What did ya pay for the exhaust if ya dont mind me asking?(ballpark)

performance is what you would expect from a quality product definatly breathing alot better, im a little worried about the 15psi boost spike through 2nd and 3rd however nothing a E01 wont fix :D

Yes I have, but not for a long time. I assumed the rear was similar to a GT-Four, but I forgot it is actually a grocery-getter wagon. :lol:

Bought local? I'm after a rear muffler for my GT-Four (has locally done 3" mandrel system with shite rear muffler) and that is one of the more tasteful ones I have seen.
