The fitment was perfect, supersprint did a really great job making it fit right in, I used completly new parts for everything from the rubber hangers to the clamps and all new nuts and bolts. My install took longer then expected due to a rounded nut in a hard to reach place (above the pipe with a silencer right behind it so i couldn't get any space to bash the extractor on), I had to cut just before the silencer on the old one with a sawsall to get at the bolt to get it out with some extra brute force (extractor). The only adjustments I had to do where positioning the hangers and clamps, I adjusted it today because it was hitting and have it to a much better placement but I might try to move it slightly more in the next few days.

I am also really pleased with its sound, its not too loud at idle and then comes to life above 3k and when you stomp on it. Makes a great sound for a great 4 banger engine.
