I did. Coupled with a cat back they gave me a solid 10-15kws more. Good product, but wasn't really 'finished' to my standards. Spent a day with a straight grinder smoothing welds out of the joins

Also not really worth doing unless you've got a tuneable ECU / piggyback. Wont get the most out of it.
so 70mm is not worth doing, while 65mm would be beneficial?
