There's a few on the Facebook group saying good things about them, a lad on there sells them at a better price too.

Seems like some have pretty brutal cutouts though.... and others less so....

I think there's a bit of variation with fit and finish, some of the earlier examples needed a bit of fettling or they fouled the bumper.
I've seen a couple with (MGF?) trims on the cutout section.

I'm fairly certain these are made by top speed auto in the US... They were usually prohibitive to buy due to delivery charges..

If they are the topspeed one, then be wary of the baffles coming loose.
There was a fair bit of chatter on Spyderchat about these a while back with regards to fitment and longevity.
Whether this was resolved I don't know.
People seemed to have better success with the single silencer version

My Topspeed from the US was imported by me and started rattling like bitch within a couple of months, still needs fixing! Hopefully this batch has improved build quality

The twin exit all seemed to have a wonky tip too.

I bought this and the sports cat....wouldn't fit together. Sent it back after getting ebay involved. Not a nice seller.

Ended up getting a custom exhaust, quad with 200 cell sports car at Longlife Watford. Very happy!
