Hey just thought id let you guys know that the mandrelexhaustsystems.com exhaust is amazing. i ordered one an for 2.5 stainless and borla muffler it was 360 shipped.

The sound was weird at very first but start up is good now too it had to burn of the rust off stuff i used on the old bolts. it is now completely fine i am overjoyed with the fitment and tone and i wanted to let you guys know incase ppl had issues.

the downpipe is 235 for stainless with a hiflow and will be getting that also to help my turbo breathe a little

cody

correct, for the total cost he paid, it did n ot come with a res, but the borla muffler is a hell of a muffler, my bu ddy has it on his catless, res-less 2.4 sc with the borlaq xr1 muffler, and it sounds pretty damn nice
