I see these on eBay, price seems good. Anyone fitted these? Wondering how they sound? And perform? For my daughters car .

don't waste your money buy a vintage speed

Yes - I had one of these and they are not too bad performance wise.

Pretty sure I didnt pay that price though.

Stainless quality is pretty good.

Heat risers were not drilled out - and if you want them drilled it is a bitch because they are on the curve of the pipe and the drill will break
They are not proper heat risers like a stok exhaust either.

The slip joint is a pain, and seems harder to bind being stainless.
Problem solved with flanges, but getting the stainless flanges and then welding them is a pain if you dont have the resources handy

I would probably go the non staino for less than half the price - or spend a bit more and get the Vintage Speed.
I "think" the base version is under $500, but has flanges and proper heat risers??

Mark, I have one on my beetle, I'm at old bar if you want to come have a look / listen. Should have asked about this a couple of days earlier & you could have had a look over the weekend. 🙁

The extractor is good but there is nothing good about the noise suppresion. As it doesn't exist. Loud as hell.
