yes. ok. yes. ok.
i bought one as i'm fiscally challenged. i have a 1.8 L-jet. the muffler fit right up. it's a little "rice-ish" with the sound. i do have a somewhat major criticism of the sebring: there is a bended piece with the muffler and tail pipe that is only supported by the bolt attachment to the collector (or whatever you want to call the piece that bolts to the heat exchangers). without some support, the muffler will vibrate which i think will lead to some fracture problem or stress problem. so i took some plumbing pipe strap and looped around the muffler and attached it to a bolt on the end of the heat exchanger to try to keep the vibrating down some. a bursch has a nice welded piece to prevent this.

I bought one - it fit - little on the louder side but didn't bother me - bothered the people behind me. Sold the car after one year with no problems. I thought it was a good deal.
