I think it looks the bollocks but wonder what the performance is like? :o

As far as I'm aware there's not a car in the UK with one on! I'm still tempted to put one in mine, it's apparently not a lot louder than standard, but it is a great looking rear silencer. Definitely something different......

Thorney, surely you should be setting an example, that making up quotes is wrong.......

I just love the look of it.

I think the VX suits a 'shotgun' setup more than the standard 'piggyback' pipes - follows the lines better (IMHO).

Mmmm, nice! IMO the Steinmetz makes the car look lower and wider :ph34r:

I can vouch that the black one sounded pretty nice but it did have the turbo conversion from motortuning, so with the turbo waistgate spitting away and the sound of the exhaust it sounded pretty menacing B)
