Thank You!

    I've used four of these and two genuine Volvo cat-back kits. The first Starla kit I tried was before FCP Groton had their web catalog. I got it from "megaparts" which I think is a now-gone worldpac agent like eeuroparts. Came shipped without a box, dented, wrong pieces and like cbolt says, with cheap u-bolt clamps. The rest I've got from FCP ship in boxes with lots of stuffing and the snazzy circle clamps like Volvo supplies. Haven't eaten one out yet; but the first one (about 60K /4 years) I used on a car that does a lot of highway.

    Not quite as nice as the Volvo kits, but barely half the price.

    I recently bought mine from Groton, but I assume it's the same kit. It fit perfectly and went on easily for this first timer. Seemed to be much better wuality than the generic, muffler shop one it was replacing. I do live in the rust belt, so I will have to see how it holds up to winters, but my understanding is that exhaust typically rusts through from the inside, not the outside.

    The Starla mufflers are made in Sweden, but the system is not OEM. It's not bad for the money if you don't live in the rust belt, but it doesn't hold up well to road salt.

    That said, I've had that kit on my 91 for a year, and it's worked great. The clamps included are the cheapie u-bolt type, but other than that, no complaints.
