I don't like that the black paint falls off om my Ansa exhaust. Other than that, it's OK. The price was right.

There are two seals; I had to carefully cut the old pipes off and peel, it was a little tricky to get the old muffler off.

The cheap soft doughnuts will last about 1 year; the genuine MB doughnut hangers (expensive, but worth it) have a wire center.
