It one designed for the 180. Great little boxes. I have one on my gti that i removed from a 180.
at £55 it cheap. Should be around 180 quid! good little bargain!

may need to ask a bit more about it mate as £55 for an exhaust which is over £300 seems a bit strange tbh

That will not fit a 180 as it is. Looks like a Janspeed backbox joined with a piece of crap mild steel centre section.
The backbox may have originally been for a 180 but as it stands it wont fit.

Any exhust can be fitted with the correct exhaust brackets welded in place. Only costs a few quid to have them welded in blackburn. Any decent welding garage/company will bend some brackets up to match the exhaust, then line everything up underneath and weld in the brackets. Not a big job either so long as all the pipe flanges match up to the ones already on the car. Anything can be done its just about knowing exactly how you are going to do it. Speak to a welder near to you and get a quote.

It will cost a lot to have it made to fit probably cheaper to get a custom one made up with lifetime guarantee
I paid 50 for the flange on the cat to be replaced from an exhaust place good work but imagine the cost of adding materials bent to shape then another flange that's well over 100 quid on top of the cost of the system

This is true...to an extent. that exhaust as a whole, will need a LOT of work to fit a 180, just not worth it tbh.
