Just installed ERZ exhaust on the X

The system features true 3" piping all the way, no resonators or tapers; slip-fit type that came with U-clamps to secure. However it is recommended to replace these clamps with more durable O-type ones. I just did not, just because.
Fitment is almost spot-on, except for where the bend of the axle-back barely hits the rear diff. It already got hit mildly when we checked after test driving the car.
Sound... it is a lot quieter than most exhaust systems I have heard out there. No drone but sounds nice on WOT. It is not raspy, it's more of a thicker tone due to the muffler design.
All in all, I am really satisfied with this exhaust. It's the sound I am looking for, not obnoxiously loud but has the grunt. However, I am still running the stock cat so that may change drastically if ever I go with a test pipe.

Looking good. quality appears to be top notch, if they ask for the different clamps maybe they should sell them, but then again its all in what the owner prefers and likes and thats what determines the entire outcome.. on the new exhaust enjoy and looking forward to hearing a sound clip

I have been contemplating this exhaust for a long time, especially given the price point. I'm running a single now but really want a dual. Thanks for posting these pics, I'm gonna order the exhaust.

Thanks!
However, I just got a message from the vendor that this version is being discontinued and being replaced by a version II, which features flanges instead of slip-on. Should be available starting next Monday.

I installed this exhaust as well a few weeks ago, quality was excellent for the price. My only issue was aligning the tips so they look even. Overall great sound and I have a resonated test pipe. At idle you cant even tell the car has an exhaust

Yup, aligning it can be tricky on the axle back. That's why in the first pic ^^^ he needed an extra hand to hold the tips while the clamps are being adjusted. Nothing major though. But being on a lift helped
