before you buy, I would go by asking dimensions. Another thing to consider is that 5hit angle cut and welded pipe, and how much it extends towards the front of the car. If the box is too long you will have to use a 70 to 80 degrees bend so the pipe can clear the rear subframe mount and the spare wheel well. |

length wise appears to be OK but still a bit long. So you should be a bit careful with the bend at the end |
