You need to learn to read an entire thread before posting.

1. Manzo is made by Megan Racing. It is not "eBay shit."
2. The pipes were purchased from an authorized forum vendor not eBay.
3. The fitment issue was noticed immediately when installed.
4. Megan Racing, the makers of Manzo, found an error in the mold.
5. The vendor exceeded all expectations by providing excellent customer service.

Aside from the QC and customer service done by the shops branding and selling these things making the difference, it's really all the same shit. beleive it or not. lol

What I don't understand, you make one that fits perfect. Then you make jigs and make them off the jig so they always fit the same. How do they manage to F it up so badly?

Jigs can warp?

its not hard to get hangers right. doens't matter what exhausts you make.

Hmm this seems oddly familiar, I feel like I read this on facebook post.


and if you buy an ebay exhaust and expect fitment to be right, you are dreaming. use some extra long hangers and some ingenuity and you'll get it to fall right

lol hope you learned your lesson. This is why you support REAL vendors who do REAL rnd and have their parts made with REAL quality control. REAL REAL REAL REAL.

Always avoid megan parts or any company who just steals designs to make a quick buck. Atleast they charge you at a price thats affordable unlike @AGencypower and @vividracing that charge as much as vendors that actually do RnD but without the RnD done and just a copy of someone elses design

@DarrenDriven strikes again! Thanks to his help, we were able to get the Invidia N1 catback exhaust system into my 2013 FR-S. The fit and finish on the Invidia is absolute perfection.

I've tried the pipes with both the silencers in and out, and prefer the loudness of them out but the pipes still have a great sound with them in. The only other mod I have is an Injen 1230P Cold Air Intake system.

The clip is without the silencers, by the way.

Once again, if you haven't met Darren, you truly must make the trip. The guy is amazing, genuine, and a true boon to the GT86 community.

Also, I have to give another shout-out to @Redline360, the vendor where I purchased both the Manzo and my new Invidia N1s. Alex at @Redline360 was on-the-spot providing exceptional customer service from beginning to end. I give them my highest recommendation as a vendor you should patronize!

according to their website, the fitment problems are now fixed.

Which of these would fit my 2015 BRZ sport-Tech? I see there are two different exhaust piping sizes shown, one is 2.25" and the other is 2.75"

Can anyone with one of these installed point me to a video showing the car driving past so I can hear what that's like? All I can find on Youtube are start up sounds and a very short revving one.

thanks in advance.
