   Looks ok, wouldn't bother fitting one to a diesel though. It's better keeping the standard exhaust on them engines since losing back pressure can reduce power.

   I think the price would probably reflect its quality, bearing in mind it looks very similar to the "sportex" exhuast's which are a budget price/quality exhaust. although some people on here have sportex exhaust's they seem to be quite pleased with them....

   Tbh your not going to get it sounding good. Just keep it quiet and subtle and enjoy the mpg's.
   
   Whack a nice 2.0 HDI in on custom mounts and run massive boost and a nice exhaust, that will turn some heads!
