That's kind of my point in an odd way

I've definitely seen some posts (mostly Facebook) talking about rust, corrosion, bad fit, work having to be done on the flange (that was resolved I believe). But all in all, most are happy with it for what they paid.

The main gripe here by @Ardent was the lack of instructions making it clear that it was a straight hard fit between exhaust and cat. No donut gasket. A minor gripe. I believe he's otherwise content with it

What @shnazzle said. The no doughnut should have been made clear prior to purchase. Failing that. Instructions in the box. Neither. The flange has no threads. So need to source own bolts washers nuts. Why no fitting kit?
Leaves a sour taste to the experience.

On the sports version I have the box is taller than stock. Interfers with under side of heat shield.
Search for Malian and me as user. Best to look at the thread as many pictures.

This car he enquired about was for sale on F/book. The Seller promised 1st dibs to someone (a new member on here also) but Jack travelled from London to the Midlands (popped by said the Seller.....) & the deal was done.

The car is now for sale on Autorader (£750 mark-up approx) by a Trader. He was 'super-happy" too....

Not gone anywhere! I found a TF300 in Sable which I couldn't resist (proffered colour) so the Silver 05 is now with it's new owner up in Dundee who's over the moon and I am too with my TF.

Phew! Glad you didn't defect

We did much the same. Not quite as quick, but I bought my pre-fl and it wasn't long before I sold it and swapped it for my current facelift. Which now looks worse than my pre-fl hahaha

Nope, I plan on being around for the long haul with TF282

Just need to figure out tyre situation now (see thread in performance section if you're interested)

Thanks
