First I want to give a big thanks to Evolve Automotive. Namely Imran who I've communicated completely by email/pm. He always responded quickly (if it's during normal waking hours). I was nervous at first as I wired the money directly to their bank. They are legit, and it has paid off. The exhaust took 2 days to get from UK to my house! The exhaust was inspected by them to ensure no surprises then shipped via air. I believe they still have some in stock and they have very competitive prices.

I washed the car in the morning and to my surprise the UPS truck arrived at 9:30 am. I installed the exhaust in my garage and it took about 6 hours because I was pretty anal about wiping down the parts with WD-40 repeatedly and careful with applying the different grease/pastes. Here are the photos and a video at the end with the car in the garage. It was drizzling outside so I havn't even driven the car yet.

The exhaust is extremely nice and I knew it was the one I wanted when I first saw it on that Essen Motor Show thread long ago.








That's Calvin Klein bedding, couldn't find anything else




Color installation manual, a cd, all the greases/pastes, nothing but quality and detail from Akrapovic


At first I wished the tips were welded in, but it's nice to position it exactly how I want it






















Only one hydraulic jack which doesn't fit under the front central jacking point = pain in the ass to get 4 jackstands under the car


As everyone has said...the stock exhaust is freaking heavy


















If that youtube thing doesn't work, here's the link
