i didn't like it myself, silencers were small and didn't sit center, tailpipes came out at a funny angle and it was generally quite a quiet exhaust(for me anyway)
each to there own though

The silencers aren`t center and If you`ve got a de-cat down pipe fitted make sure you buy some ear plugs.

I liked mine, only reason I changed it was so I had a low sitting exhaust.

it's Y shaped, but not symmetrical.
but unless you're level with or under the rear bumber, you can't tell.
my exhaust tips came out evenly...
it's relatively cheap, and after 3 years mine's still in really good condition.
It will set off sensitive alarms, especialy with a decat but I've heard noisier ones.
it sounds good at 5,000+ rev
but, is really boomy and drony on the motorway, especially at 3,000 revs (70mph)
At 4,000 revs there's a sweet spot however where it goes quiet

Quiet?
I test drove a tubby with a blueflame and I thought it made a bloody awful drone. Sounded good when giving it beans, but headache inducing for the rest of the time.

it's funny because quite a few people are saying that, maybe my exhaust was a dud, bought it new and i didn't think it was much noiseier than standard, bit boomier but that is all, unless i have hearing problems ,

It's probably more a case of I'm getting less tolerant in my old age [28]!
