Anyone got this on a 2.5? I know we are a small group of 5 owners as everyone doesn't like the weak engines but if anyone as it on there, opinions?

I had it on my old silver one, did the job fine, bit louder than stock.

when it comes to il motorsports exhaust stuff i think they are better than the rest.. im going from experience with a bbk mk1 back box. Great sound! Their nd stuff is awesome too.

I've got a IL mid section on mine.. mated to a Racing Beat back box. Not much difference to the noise really but I did think throttle response was a touch sharper. It must flow a bit better than OE. Welds were a bit messy on it... but asides from that (which is a bit stupid for something that you never see!) its spot on.

Pic of the piece in question (and its clunky welds!)

Well, if your aim is more noise, you would be better to get someone to fabricate an unsilenced mid pipe.
At best I'd describe the il pipe as a very subtle improvement in sound. In saying that though, my racing beat back box is pretty quiet. Perhaps that's where all my noise is being muted.
I like it that way though... Good sound under throttle, no drone when cruising.

Yeah I'm not after constant loud noise but just want to notice it more when I get my foot down

AFAIK (and I havent driven one!) Mk2.5s are probably the "best out of the box" value for money 5 out there. Its only an issue if you are going FI. and the subtle little changes they made for the facelift do make it slightly nicer looking than a mk2 IMO (of course nothing is ever as nice as popup lights!!)

I've got one on mine, I'd buy it again, it gives a nice burble around the 3k mark
