When I bought my 5KCSTQ, it had an ANSA rear muffler installed
(probably the rest cat back is ANSA as well, I don't know if the other
parts are stamped). It seems to work well. The car has a slightly
throatier exhaust note than before, not the least bit antisocial, just a little
more rumble. One thing: it seems that the ANSA rear muffler is slightly
longer in my application than the stock unit. The rear hanger hook is
therefore a little further toward the front end of the car, and it is currently
causing an occasional rattle on my car (which I will fix when I bolt the
rest of the rear suspension back on). Watch the install carefully to make
sure you don't have the same thing happen if you decide to get it.
Of course, I'm still pining for the full GDS treatment, but with the crash it's
gonna have to wait :-(.
Best Wishes,
Alex
