I purchased a system for my old evo 5 off them, apparently they are reverse engineered / copies of japspeed and other reputable companies..

Mine was a good bit of kit and well worth the money I paid

Ok chap. Thanks. I guess that's from crappy cheap packing they use. May give one a try if i get one cheap.

Dont know how much you are looking to spend but for a 'branded' Mongoose this is cheap - if it were suitable for the 5G id have bought it :x

If you plan on having it long time and care about it looking good after that, dont buy one. They are cheap and rust up fairly quickly. Knowing this I bought one anyway, I needed a cheap 2.5" cat-back, and it was for my track car.

I had one for the lude about 6 or 7 years ago, exactly the same.
The welding was second to none.
The sound was a little bit loud. With the plug in the back, it was quietened down a bit, but sounded abit naff, so always left the plug out :lol:

After about 18 months, I reversed into a high curb and bent the whole rear section :facepalm:

Had it straightened out best they could but it became sooooOOO loud I ditched it for a new 5zigen system.

On the whole I rated it!

One thing though, I had to have a de-cat pipe made for it as the length was a bit....odd.

Yeah that is true. My UK decat is too long but the JDM decat I bought is too short :? :roll:
