ECP (Klarius) exhausts, any good?

Anybody got an opinion on the Klarius exhaust systems supplied by Euro Car Parts. My mechanic mate did a repair on my exhaust at MOT time but it needs replacing.

Some like them, some hate them, i fitted one to diesel a few weeks ago, it was a good fit and not noisy, as for how long it will last, time will tell.

The one I fitted to my ZT required a lot of messing on to get gas tight and adjustment of the hangers for it to look right. The tail pipes are shorter then they should be. It is also a close fit in that mine sometimes hit off the anti roll bar bracket.

Noise wise it is not too bad,obviously not as hushed as OEM but not like a stainless system drone.

I fitted one to my last 1.8, it was fine, did need welding to stop the sections spinning inside each other though.

Noise seems to be the number one problem on petrol models, on diesels they seem OK though.
