Hey guys I know most likely it isn't but just wanted your opinions. I know that you get what you pay for.

Looks like what I got... is it worth it? Debateable.. it's certainly not plug and play, you'll need to cut and weld a lot. It has held up a full year for me and sounds great. I found mine on an amazon clearance, and I really wanted the muffler only, but once I got it, it looked so good I decided to throw it on.

Of course I haven't any experience with the "other" ones available (which is not much for the Xi that I have) whether they are more plug and play. If I had to choose from the $200 I paid, vs $1,200 I'd redo it all day long 6 times over If the $1200 was better quality steel, and plug and play, then I'd pay out the $1,200. Looking at how the exhaust is under there, you'd need a pretty hefty section to get to a flange since it's a one piece exhaust.

Thnx for the feedback, I have zero experience with welding but I will see if I know anyone that can and see how much they would charge me haha.

A muffler shop can help you install that exhaust. Anyway I you decided to get it, posting a short review and video sound would be nice.
