I had been eyeing that myself. Can you give some detail on what needed to be done to make it fit correctly? Looked like it would be a drop in replacement.

It was a drop in attachment but i had to file down one of the inserts tabs on the diffuser itself like half off with a dremel its right by the reflective insert on each side it was like 3-4 cm off so i filed down them down and it went right in when you install it you will see what i mean i didn’t take any pictures of the install which sucks but it was very simple to do

Did you just do the midpipe or did you get the axle-back, too? I wasn’t sure if the mid-pipe fit the stock mufflers.

Middle section only not the full axle back they want a arm and a leg for that and i also got a very good deal on it with install. It fits on the stock mufflers very well its clamped on.
