I think I got a bargin

Hi guys the post man came today with my full turbo back Exhaust system. Cost me $200 new, is un branded, but thought at that price if its no good its no big deal, well I thinks it is really good quality and is SS304, wanted to know what you guys think?

Its from Poland (great steel nation), and is a copy of a branded system, or thats what I'm led to believe. Got the heads up from a Pol at work who had one on his Audi.

The workmanship is visible, just look at the welds, but the sound is an unknown quantity

A factory replacement runs like $1000 from a dealer. An RB system runs about $1200. Yours ran $200? I'd say the piping alone is worth that. If it sounds bad replace the tip with a more popular one.

Here's most of my vids after the exhaust was put on: http://www.youtube.com/RotaryWeapon

Only thing I didnt like was the way the dp fit the back side of the turbo, very small gap. I cant hear it though.

Sounds good, only drawback is the wideband location (unless you're getting another bung) is too close to the downpipe; the sensor probably won't last long. But man those welds are perfect!! I love how it has a bend to allow the use of a socket for the nuts. I had to cut a 17mm in half and tighten mine

In person it sounds a lot better. But I am planning on selling it and grabbing an Apexi, HKS or JIC unit instead.

Exhaust is on, perfect fitment, along with new O2 sensor.

LOUD AS F**K!!!

Not really the sound I was hoping for, I wanted deep HKS esqued sound, I got loud raspy sound, after a bit of carbon gets built up the sound should change a little for the better, I hope.
