Anyone here installed the Lucky 8 D1 cat back exhaust system? What did you think? Ebay shows a couple hundred sold. It is pretty cheap, so surely some here have installed it.

if only I were in Oakland I could have my exhaust installed by Bubb Rubb.

I don't know what L8 sells but I installed a modular, bolt-together setup on both of my trucks. It was either Allmakes or Britpart, I forget which. Install is not too bad, helps to have a second person to maneuver stuff around. I pieced it all together, keeping all the intersections loose, then had enough play to finagle it into place. I recommend removing the rearmost exhaust hanger, attaching it to the pipe, then bolting the hanger back on. Grease the insides of the rubber connectors and bend the tabs to aid install (bend back when done).

I received the exhaust yesterday and installed it this morning. For the money, $175 shipping included, the quality seems quite good. The fit was overall good and it allows plenty of adjustment as it is in 3 pieces. I did have to bend the brackets that attach to the rubber hangers. Took about an hour from start to completion and I don’t work very fast. I will give it 4 out of 5 stars. If the hanger brackets would have been spot on it would be 5 of 5. I suppose they could have gotten bent in shipping. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a low cost option. Sound is pretty good, too. Just a little V8 growl at idle that quiets once the rpms go up a little. It is a Britpart item.
