Not unusual in Germany I think, not many in the UK though. Looks OK. Bottom of the rear bumper (the "valence" part where the cut-out is for the normal tail-pipe) looks to have been cut about a bit (more than normal).

Well, it looks like a well made exhaust, but I think it’s a matter of taste whether you like the look of twin rear pipes or not. I read on here some years ago that twin pipes on a Coop looks like a wee man peering out with binoculars. Personally I favour the single pipe.

Ragazzon was the first after market exhaust I seem to remember for coupe's in the UK and remember hearing what the exhaust sounded like at a track day at Donington where it just sounds like a fighter jet, it's not noisy, just very whoosy on the noise that it makes.

in april, i will also install a custom sip, the noise should make it even more. i just have to find someone who would weld the parts together, i didn't think it was that hard to weld aluminum. Aye, aluminium is not the easiest to weld, it contracts and it’s difficult to leave a neat job. Those who can are artists in their own right. I was a welder in the oil industry years ago coded in several disciplines, I left tig to those who seemed to have a flair for it.

Hi, I had the Ragazzon exhaust backbox with upswept twin DTM pipes for a while. Unfortunately it started to rust/corrode quite quickly I've no idea if it was a one-off issue. I ended up taking it back to the place I bought it from.
It's also worth saying it didn't really line up with the cut-out on the rear apron

I fitted a Ragazzon to the VIS 2 or 3 years ago. Ditched the straight through silencer. Sounds great and not too load.
