I got one of the early ones, and I can't imagine I had 45 minutes into installing it with my car up on jacks stands, crawling around underneath and using hand tools. It fit as good as the stock unit I replaced it with.

I keep hearing folks talk about how it didn't fit, was hard to install, etc... I am really wondering what the heck you guys are doing. No flames intended on your mechanical skills, but seriously, this was a no brainer and the later exhaust systems I have seen Lindsey produce look like the early one I installed. 9Fifty1, yours sounds like the exception if the bracket was welded on upside down, and thats kinda lame that it didn't get caught when they were making it, but I wasn't there when they made it, so I guess I will let them explain that one, if they want to.

Before flaming a manufacturer over something like this, please make sure you aren't just overlooking something in your approach during the installation. A lot of the time, if I am struggling with a project on my Porsches, I just put the tools down, take a break, approach it with a clear perspective later, and most of the time, I wind up chastising myself for being stupid in trying to force it the wrong way before.

I wonder why we dont hear such common complaints about the other vendors exhausts. If it was a fitment skills issue, then it would be more constant... you would suspect.

Lindsey's exhaust is the only one that comes in so many pieces and has so many connections - it requires the most common sense of all the exhausts.

Sam,

The problem with common sense is that it's not so common

I forget who said that.

I wonder why they would have so many pieces to the system, I am in the process or buying one from SFR, seems idiot proof!

Sam Lin

You can't swap the SFR muffler without cutting and rewelding, whereas you can with the LR - it's handy for those of us who do track days. That's the main difference.

Gees, that looks like a Frankenstein muffler with smallpox (reference to Asarus’ picture).

Is that made internally by LR? It must cost more to make than buying other aftermarket stainless mufflers costing less than $100, some of which have very good flow and attenuates reasonably well.
Although not the cheapest or prettiest, this “aero-turbine” muffler looks very interesting.

I think SFR are offering a V-band clamp option now, which means awaping over is easier....

Asarus

This muffler is the FlowMaster Series (40 or 50, i don't remember) sold by LR

PS: see you later guys, i'm in holidays for skiing (back in 8 days)

Have fun Seb!

And the same goes for the catalyzer which if necessary I can use for the yearly smog test.

I was 'smart enough' and the exhaust hanger WAS upside down. Ask others.

M@rk951

Yeah im actually witness to that since it was on my car.... I dunno the exhaust was kind of a PITA..... the thing was welded on wrong and yah it rattles a tad and the thing leaks a bit lol but funny thing is im still happy with it... the flowmaster muffler sounds f-ing amazing... but it definately wasnt that easy to put on... regardless of how much time it took some others to put on

NZ951

Come on Derek and Mark, you are just not "smart enough"... lol
