What a work of art this piece is! It’s almost a shame it lives under the car where nobody sees it but the quality fit and finish of the pipe is gorgeous! Gave the exhaust the character the car should have come with from the start! Love it!

Just an update, finally got a change in the status and all of a sudden it’s coming !!! Can’t wait.

I’ve been in contact with the company but still no update on my tracking information. I can’t file a claim since the status hasn’t changed. They have also tried to track it and unsure where it is. Still a 5 star review, based on videos and quality craftsmanship. Just waiting patiently

As the title says, stop thinking about it and just go for it. It’s an excellent product that will open up any exhaust system. Mine was added to a factory cat back system and it keeps a great exhaust tone with only a slight increase in loudness. I’m sure it will greatly open up with an aftermarket cat back if that is what someone is looking for. Install was a breeze; you only need to remove a single metal cover that the pipe feeds over. Took maybe 45 minutes with me taking my sweet time. Fitment is great and the quality of the part is better than expected.
A couple of items that I wish had some improvement and hope they are improved when I order more Rae parts in the future:
I had a longer than expected lead time plus a small shipping mishap (18.5 week lead time for a 6-8 week expected lead time) which is fine. But I had hoped there was more communication during the back order process. I felt that I was left in the dark a couple of times after the expected 6-8 week period, leading me to think if I was getting ripped off. Even if there is not an update, keeping in touch more often after the expected back order period goes a long way to ease concerns.
The quality of the included hardware for the catback connection surprisingly did not match the quality of the pipe. Looks like regular dept store hardware (regular hex head bolts with separate washers and nuts). I’m sure it does the job, but I sourced some good quality flanged cap screws and flanged nuts for the connection instead. Gaskets are great quality.

Added the Rae's Intermediate Pipe to my Cobb Catback recently and it sounds great! Made it a tad louder since the Cobb is one of the quieter exhaust setups for the VB, also added more burbles as well. No drone, would buy again!
