Default Adamesh vs. Moss exhaust limited experience

I'm still trying to figure out what's out there and available aftermarket for these old gems, but if anyone's wading into it like me, maybe i can prevent a mistake.

I'm in the US and saw the Moss motorsports bits for the exhaust and they were pretty inexpensive. I was also aware of the 'stage 1' droning for the adamesh (and others that remove the rear cans maybe). So I thought I'd try the moss over axle pipes and the front center box replacement (not really an x pipe - just a smaller resonator).

When I got the Moss one, it was OK - not something you'd want on a show car - but the problem was it wasn't bolt on. You'd have to cut one leg of your stock center box assembly (one side is a slip fit, the other a bolt flange to the cat - the Moss has both as a slip fit). Also the over axle pipes were not going to engage with their own center box pipes without a spreader or cutting.

So I sent them back and they were good with customer service and always answered the phones. A little miffed they didn't refund shipping since it was not bolt on and was not going to fit.

Then I got the adamesh from the UK and it is a much finer "peice of kit" (don't you all say that?). Much nicer bends, much nicer pipes and material and two piece over axles so slightly easier to install ( still a bit of a hassle - jaguars fault there).

Anyway just one bit of feedback. Moss seems like a reasonable company and I wouldn't rule them out for future things, but I'd avoid the exhaust unless you're just in repair mode rather than upgrade mode.
