Manzo exhaust quality?

Been thinking about trying out the manzo exhaust since im a baller on a budget <.< has anyone had any experience with it in recent times? Ive seen a couple of bad reviews about fitment but thats supposedly been fixed. What about overall quality i.e materials, construction

Fitment is good. Had to swap some bolts connecting to the mid pipe due to the old hardware not being long enough. Sound is that of a greddy evo 3. Gets a lot of drone. Don't think about headers because you will not be able to hold a conversation when driving.

Just talked to my buddy, he said it rubs somewhat on the rear subframe. But other than that, its pretty good. It also sounds amazing upon rev match downshifts!

Spot on! I have a UEL and the Manzo V2. Its insanely loud on cold start and drones so so bad above 65MPH. I do love the sound everywhere else though....

I've had the Manzo V1 with Open flash header for about 3 years now and it's one of my favorite mods.

The fitment was perfect and the quality is about average. No problems with it at all.
Sounds great. I've had a lot of comments about how great my exhaust sounds. I think the people who are unhappy with Manzo have the V2.
