I literally have the cat-back MF kit in the checkout cart ready to go. Using some club gp discount I found by googling it brought it down to 650 shipped in Canada. The company is actually only about 3 hours away from me for the Canadian location. Has anyone used them?

I'm finding mixed opinions about them. It just doesn't make any sense to me as to why a business would knock 150 bucks off the price just from some code you can find on the internet lol.

They most likely did. But it seems every single site I go to has the same price.... all have been 819 and then taxes. This has been the first site with taxes to offer it at 650 after the code. So that's why i'm a little weary but don't want to pass it up at the same time. The canadian location is like 3 hours from my place... so I guess if something happened I could drive there and "resolve" it lol.

I'm also from Canada, and ordered from them. Everything went smoothly. Used the ClubGP discount code as well.

For that price I could buy the bends in stainless and have them weld up a custom exhaust system

Ya I looked at that route. Problem is the labour will get you here. The going shop rate in Canada is approaching 85-90 bucks an hour in some places. I talked to a few places and they told me it'd just be more worth while to get the MF system and they'd put it on for a little cash deal kinda thing. I appreciate the advice but for me it's just not practical right now.

Don't have a lift. I'm not jacking the car up and crawling underneath lol. Not enough space.Believe me I've looked at every possible way around this because I'm a firm believer of custom exhaust piping. For my truck it was no problem but its literally not worth my time to order pipes off eBay or to find a shop with a reasonable price for custom work. And we all know that time is money lol

Get a set of Rhino Ramps from Autozone. No need for jacks, just get it up, 30 min job.

I'll look into em. Does anybody ever weld the MF system or is it just as good clamped? And I've noticed there's two other systems that are cheaper. The zzp and the SLP. Anybody ever use em?
