Right on, sucks for the headaches and the unnecessary money spent, but looks like you have the situation under control.
If the pipes on the A.P. are short a few inches, you will need to weld on an extension pipe to close the gap in order to get the V-band collars close enough to clamp. |

Single exit titanium would be soooooo good!! But ill take a good quality Stainless Steel single exit as well!! (The ricer inside me still likes fart cans). I have to say so far i am more than impressed with your high flow cat!! You guys should build a straight test pipe with a resonator. That would be awesome, its a nice compromise between noise reduction and performance increase. For now the invidia will get me out of trouble but i do want something better down the road. The exhaust selection from companies so far has not impressed me.

Vivid/AP have always had quality and customer service problems. Alot of subaru forums will not let them post/advertise due to poor quality service and parts.
Sorry to hear you are out the money for a poor quality exhaust. |

Wow, that sucks! I can't believe they are using exhaust clamps. Is this an AutoZone sponsored exhaust system!?!

I've also heard bad stuff about Vivid but I still keep them open as an option. I guess ft86club can be looked as a clean slate for them from me. I haven't bought anything from them yet but I'm keeping an eye on a few parts I have interest in. Time will tell if they gain this communities trust and my hard earn money.

I love my MXP but its a little heavy for a track car, durability shouldn't be an issue though. I love my Motiv stuff though when they release one I'm all over it.

Damn man! Good luck with the new exhaust. Invidia is a great company as well. They will stand behind their products. You know this is serious when I offer you the AP catback and cost and you say no
Good luck with your track events as well |

LOL thanks for the offer Chirs!! But yeah i dont want anything to do with AP for now, unless they improve their products and get their heads out of their asses when it comes to customer service. Props to XTR Performance for taking care of their customers

Theres a reason why they are banned from every major Subaru forum. Sorry for your bad experience with them. Hope people on these forums now see why they are such a bad company and quit bashing people who say negative things about them that are all true
