Cheap exhaust went well enough together. It doesn't have the little dampeners on the y-pipe like stock so it makes a slight rattle noise at start-up. I ended up stripping the completely rusted nuts where the rear y-pipe connects the the front y-pipe so I used an angle grinder to cut off the screws. The screw heads where welded to the front y-pipe so it took some time until you could just hammer them out. I got some M10-1.50 hardware and just reattached everything. I got new mufflers too so I just cut the pipe at the gasket rather than messing with more rusted screws. I don't ever want to have to rebuild the exhaust on a 13 year old car ever again unless the the car has been garaged in a dry place like Arizona it's whole life. It's like only the screws you have to remove has been rusted beyond usefulness.
