Unlike the others which only use one straight pipe for the first part of the system, this one has resonator to keep sound quite while engine is idle, improve performance and produce deep strong sounds when engine is running.

my catback has no resonator :'(

looks like every other ebay catback.

probably fine, but every once in a while there's a bad one so iunno it's up to you.

it's so ridiculously cheap... i might buy this and then the biggest magnaflow i can fit where that tiny resonator is

why are they showing pictures of the down pipe if it's a catback?

It's probably not even that loud if you have the stock header.

Probably a good idea with that replacement resonator. I had one that looked just like this and was a lot louder than my apexi on a sohc with no mods.

Side note: does anyone else feel afraid for that car's front end in the pic of the full car?

The only issue you might have is the hangers might not be in the right position. I bought one of the chinese dual N1 catbacks a couple years ago, it fit "ok", worked great, sounded good, but the hangers didn't line up... It's so cheap, you probably can't even buy all those stainless mandrel bends for that price. I say get it, if it sucks, just chop and reweld..

Hit or miss. I've installed a dozen knockoff exhausts that fit perfect, a handful that lined up but the hangers were too,long or not lined up right. For $140 you can bend or cut/weld if they're not right.

06-25-2008, 01:12 PM
honestly, that looks pretty nice.

06-25-2008, 01:51 PM
yeah same as everyone else. mine doesn't line up and rubs on my chassis a little, but eh, i paid next to nothing for it compared to prices of "real" exhausts.

just get it. pipes are pipes....

gerson408
06-25-2008, 02:49 PM
im ordering it this friday for sure

and also will this bolt up toa stock header???

MELLO*SOS
06-25-2008, 03:06 PM
^ it has a 3" inlet, so you should have a 3" cat or test pipe. The stock header and cat and most KA aftermarket headers have a 2.5" outlet. The flanges between the 2.5"and 3" pipe will mate up, but sometimes it difficult to get a good seal.

gerson408
06-25-2008, 03:39 PM
so then just change a gasket and it should be a direct fit as for the test pipe im probaly gonna make one

murda-c
06-25-2008, 03:43 PM
My seal was fine using the 2.5" outlet into the 3" catback.

I used the 3" gasket.

I bought myself a ebay full exhaust recently. And it did not fit for crap! I returned it and bought myself a Megan racing exhaust, and it fit like a glove and sounds great.

gerson408
06-25-2008, 04:18 PM
so does any one actually have any experience with this exhuast

Usually when you buy an ebay exhaust...Chances are you will %75 have trouble with either:

A. Length
B. Fitment
C. Random ass hangers in the wrong direction
D. Exhaust hanging too Low.

But all of the above is nothing that can't be fixed if you know how to weld, and fix the small defects.

I've bought 3 exhausts of ebay (knockoffs) and they all had problems.

You get what you pay for. If you buy name brand. Expect a perfect fitment also a gaurentee'd warranty.

The only thing that confuses me is that the company I bought my eBay catback from, Just Intercoolers, sold the exact same exhaust, which I have. I must say, it's of pretty good quality for an eBay exhaust. The sound quality on my stock SOHC sounds pretty damn good. It actually produces somewhat good back pressure, too. I love it, I got mine $120 shipped. :naughtyd:

Heres a low RPM video of mine.

alright, somebody with experience! so it fits alright? and that video is with the silencer out on a sohc, right? do you have video, or would you mind shooting video, of it with the silencer in?

just make your own, look for parts on summitracing
then go to a muffler shop tell them what you want.

should cost around 100, and you can go full 3 inch piping and adjust the tips etc. only bad thing its not bolted, so if you wanna swap out exhausts youll have to cut it out.

I have that same catback. It hangs decent. the canister its self needs to stick out more its sunk in bad on a factory bumper. For some reasson it is sunk in worst on a coupe than on a fastback It sounds ok. Like 3 or 4 compaines sell that same exhaust. I payed like 120$ shipped. Here is a vid, even tho some one else posted one. This is a dohc. Ebay intake and no silencer.

I BOUGHT that exhaust not long ago

fits alright, I forget if you need to cut off some of the seat mounting bolts underneath the car or not.

Another thing, look at the exhaust hangers. They are welded bolts onto a bracket. You need to get an aluminum spacer and nut the correct size to wrap over & secure on. You also need hose clamps to tighten the hangers.

Another thing, this exhaust TOUCHES THE DIFF.
it touches it. meaning if you don't want rattle you can either clamp the crap out of the hangers, wrap the part touching with exhaust wrap so it doesn't rattle,
or

buy a different one.

ALSO

i might add
it hangs sideways moreso than a regular exhaust

it looks weird if you know what i'm talking about.

I'm running this thing with a 3" resonated test pipe, sounds mean

Ive installed quite a few of Ebay exhausts on customers cars and I havent had too many problems with them. Like others said, its hit or miss with them!

MrFuel
06-25-2008, 05:21 PM
With the one i bought. All the hangers were off by inches and the muffler ended way before the rear bumper. Also it hit the diff, as well.

It fits beautifully. I would take a video for you with the silencer... If I still had it. I traded my buddy the silencer for his hella fogs, it then fell out while he was driving. The silencer didn't make too much of a difference but there was a little bit.

That's what I have on my car right now. The 4" tip does look puny compared to the 4.75" tip HKS muffler I used to have, but for the price I have no complaints.

krisdeezy
06-27-2008, 11:46 AM
yeah dont get that one...cause my friend has it its great but, you have to do some mods to make it fit...and the piping hangs to low and hes on stock suspension...so you would have to get it re-done if your gona lower your car...get the one from JAPANSPORT888 or someshit..

aNskY
06-27-2008, 03:47 PM
that much stainless is practically worth more than the whole damn exhaust. if it doesnt fit, get it chopped / rewelded, if it sounds like ass, change the resonator / muffler. you pretty much cant go wrong for the price.

^Buy that one from them.
came Wrapped/boxed NICELY and fit GREAT.

You will have to Lose the Driverside Tow hook (I cut mine) and maybe Bash the back seat pan on the bottom a tad...but it dosen't Rub the Driveshaft @ ALL,...and Does not hang low @ all in comparison to teh Motoria.Hangers are Perfect!

Friend has a GT Spec and it tucks nicely..I'd say the same as Mine does.
