With the PRL frontpipe, the Yonaka exhaust bolted up without any major issues.
Minor issues:
1) The nuts and bolts Yonaka included are shit and clearly not grade 8.8 since one of the nuts rounded off the threads of a bolt with the nut threaded on 4 threads deep.
I ordered replacement high grade hardware so I can rest assured there are no leaks and they won't strip the threads.
2) The factory hangers leave the exhaust far, far too low.
I measured how big mounts should be to nestle the muffler and tips up in the cutout nicely and I have ordered some. Once they get here and I replace the hardware and mounts and ensure it all works well together I'll post more about the mounts and hardware I chose.
In total I'll have spent around $50 on additional hardware to make the exhaust work as it should have, which brings the price from $450 to ~$500. Still an excellent bargain for 3" 304 stainless and an excellent sound.
I'll update once I get the new hangers and hardware.
