Temporary Ebay Exhaust?

[Grocery Cart]

Long story short, the exhaust the PO of my car put on got ripped off. I get annoying amounts of backfire when slowing down, and just the loudness of no exhaust is annoying enough.

I was thinking about just buying this ebay exhaust because of it being cheap to use until I have the money to spend on a expensive exhaust.
There are videos of them on s13s on youtube, and they don't sound that bad..

Don't waste your money. Buy a used quality exhaust or an ISIS or something.

Don't waste your money. Help out a fellow Zilvian and get a nice exhaust for cheap from this kid.

An $80 exhaust will probably sound worse than what you sound like now.

It's more of the loudness than the sound.

And It's for an s14. I don't think s13 exhaust fits on s14, does it?

[s13 @ fullboost]

might sound worse haha

Doesn't sound HORRIBLY bad. But it's also a lot quieter, which is what I want really. haha

Too bad ur not in cali!! I have a GREAT s14 3 inch cat back with flanged cat and working!! It's a jdm Sport Unique type-2

Yea, my biscuit. I misread it then realized right after I found that exhaust for you lol. Definitely doesn't fit. The problem with that Ebay exhaust is that regardless of volume I think your gonna end up with an unbearable tone of buzziness.

That's what I was worried about.
I only have $200 to my name right now, and I'm trying to save as much as I can until I start my job.
I'm looking to see if anyone is selling any right now, but my shitty internet won't search zilvia.

[Matej]

Bought an Ebay exhaust for my S13 for under 100$ shipped. I also bought it for temporary use, because my previous exhaust broke, and I was planning on my next one being a nice fancy one.
However, I was pleasantly surprised, because the Ebay one actually fits better and tucks up higher than any brand name exhaust I have ever had.
I do dislike that it is loud and N1-styled, but at the same time it is not as loud as I expected; plus I have not even attempted using it with the silencer yet; and the fitment is much better than the HKS Hi-Power or the Apexi N1 that I owned at some point.
I still plan on purchasing an OEM-style exhaust one of these days, but for now I have no complaints.

Compare the loudness to an exhaust that is cut off right after the cat?
And what about the "buzziness"? Is it a deep sound, or does it have some buzzing in it?

[Darren]

I think he means that drone sound you can get from cheap tubing... That sound that will make you fall asleep when cruising on the highway...

Get a used one if you can find it, if not, the ebay ones can be ok, just do some research and make sure the brand / style you're looking at buying is one that you'll be happy with...

I think there's enough info out on the internetz

[nismoracingsx]

sonic motor sells catbacks for like 120 shipped all the time....
like ebay only with a shop behind it.

The one I purchased seems to have much thicker piping than another Ebay exhaust I owned a long time ago, thus not being 'buzzy.' Naturally, it would depend on which one you purchase.
Although I think any exhaust will be quieter than an open-cat. :)

This is the same kind I have currently.

[silviaks2nr]

You want a quieter exhaust so you want to get something off ebay??? I fail to see the logic here, as most ebay exhausts are thin walled and have cheap resonators/mufflers. I would get a quality unit that you know will be quiet or just replace it with a stock exhaust.

I'm sure it will be less loud than no exhaust at all.

Ur trollin ryte?

That ebay shit isn't any different.

It's pretty hard to fuck up on an exhaust.

Matter of fact, last time I saw a car with an ebay (SSautochrome) exhaust it fit better than my Apexi I had at the time.

[Grocery Cart]

I think I'm just going to go with this and hope for the best.
It's only temporary anyway. When i'm done I'll sell it for like 20 bucks.

True story. It killed me to know that the SS Autocrap headers (Hotshot Gen V copies) for the FWD SR20 crowed fit just as well, and didn't rust out.

[JSimpson]

man i have had GReddy and Apexi exhaust on my S14, but on my track whore S13 I went with the 3 inch ebay special and Love it. It fits excellent and is surprisingly tight to the car (most important on our slammed S chassis). I'd say go for it. It sounds good too, but thats assuming on the right engine... an NA KA will always sound like shit, even through Tomei Titanium glory pipes :)

[zo0d]

I bought an Ebay 3.5in daul tip for my Ka24de S14 about a month or two ago.

The only reason I bought it was because my stock one cracked and was driving me nuts.

The Good:
It hugs the rear bumper perfectly.
It's not raspy or buzzy at all at WOT or while cruising.
Doesn't look ricey

The Bad:
Had to slightly beat a few hangers to get them to line up right.
The company forgot to send me the gaskets.
The tips were bent due to shipping. Packaging sucked ass.

I complained and sent angry emails. They ended up refunding me $40. :)

A bit loud IMO, but that might be because i'm N/A.
Sounds awesome with the silencers in though. Just paint 'em flat black and shove em in deep.
I'll get some pics and vids if you want.

[chinabean]

they are pretty much all the same shit - chinese exhausts. as long as you have a resonated mid pipe you should be good.

[ma.jomaa]

I would say buy the ebay exhaust I got a catback from ebay for my S14 for $95 it fit like a glove, I've always used magnaflows, and the one i bought sounds almost identical to it and for a $100 you can't go wrong. I never saw the logic of spending 600-700 on an exhaust.

just my $.02

I fully agree.

I too have purchased an ebay full catback exhaust for $95 and it too fits perfectly! Sounds great, and performs how it should. Plus, if "anything" were to happen or you scrape the shit out of cuz you're too low it's not like it cost you $400. You can buy another one if need be.

[rastaman]

anyone try magnaflow mufflers? I had them on my other car and love them..not sure how they will sound on the KA.

I had a leak in my down pipe and the muffler shop built a down pipe all the way to a 3" no brand muffler and it is too loud and ricey....I need a muffler to quiet it down

[240sxr]

+1 on ebay exhaust........cheap,fit the car,don't sound ricey....and you can scrap it to death and buy another one :D

[420sx]

its an exhaust it dont matter. my dog can make an exhaust. spend money on other more important parts. i bought the s14 apexi style for 120 bucks worked GREAT with the ls1. no need to spend 600 on a greddy. i had a few and honestly its a waste of money.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking.
I wanted to buy a cheap exhaust for the time being so I can get around to other shit i desperately need.

Wise choice!
Mine doesn't sound ricey or loud at all.

[memphis180sx]

i had one for my s13 and it lasted about a year and a half till i took it off to change it and it broke from the weld on the hanger but it sounded ok

[azsr20det]

i needed one so i could get rid of my catless custom one and get a cat to limp through emissions.
fits pretty good
dirt cheap
im happy with it.
think its godspeed.
its the dual tip one, its dual pretty far back too

[rcdad123]

shit, if i knew they were that cheap, i would have bought one. i built mine with ebay N1 muffler and a cherry bomb resonator.

I have been considering trying it out, just do not want to buy it only to find out it is almost as loud as an N1 exhaust.
In the pictures it hangs a bit low, but I think it could look nice tucked up higher with the hangers shortened.

Something like this.

The fit of the exhaust above is way above what the ebay pics are showin...

really weird angle..

[badbob2121]

I agree, the pics that cxracing provides make the fitment look like shit..

[Matej]

It looks as if they have it hanging on one hanger or something. I would like to see how it truly fits, and more importantly, hear how it sounds.

[Chaluska]

Lol, so much mis-information going on in this thread about eBay exhausts.

between me and 5 other 240sx owners i know. we've went through multiple ebay exhausts.. piping is identical in thickness to any apex/greddy exhaust, 3" ID piping, smooth mandrel bends. and after 3 years of running an ebay exhaust i had one hanger fall off the muffler... granted i was running so lean that the muffler was smoking from heat... for 3 years it was more my fault that the exhaust went bad... but 3 years for 89$ is NOT a bad deal...

[nickkaplz]

i love my cxracing exhaust and now i wish i had seen that double tip one

[rastaman]

just picked up a used vibrant 1047 on ebay for cheap... cant wait to put it on..looks just like this.

[Walperstyle]

probably cheaper to go to a muffler shop and stop trying to look like you are part of a 'scene'. A good muffler shop will have a welder there that can make it look like anything you want, and have it quiet enough so you are not waking me up every night.

[Shift n Drift]

They are fine, ill never spend 5 or 600 on an exhaust, a header yes, but exhaust no. The are decent quality and if the can breaks off, just get a flowmaster can and weld it on. Done

[Brian04]

I go through a ton of exhausts on my S chassis, and i've found the best sounding one (by far) is my custom fabbed 3" made by Bassani Exhaust. Sounds like no other production exhaust, and is envied by high-dollar exhaust owners (A'pexi, Greddy, Fujitsubo, Etc).

If you want cheap and nice sounding, make your own. You'll enjoy it more, too.

I was researching the same ebay exhaust and others earlier. With what everyone says, it's either hit or miss really. And even if you do get one that sticks out at a weird angle, a hanger falls off or whatever, it probably wouldnt cost much to get that adjusted/fixed. I say go for it, I know I'm going to.

[khaaaN]

i got a cheap ebay exhaust on my s13 because the "stock" system that was on it when i bought it..was TOTALLY fucked up..mickey moused to shit. like 4 different pipes. welded like shit. catalytic converted wasnt even being utilized. its brand new lol.

im happy with the ebay exhaust. it fits great. it sounds good and looks way better than that pile of shit that came with it lol

Dude an exhaust is an exhaust, as long as the welds and fitment are straight your good. I have 2 ebay exhaust, one on each of my s14's. Both sound great and I've had so many people ask what brand they we're. Do it, you won't regret it, $500 for a name brand is honestly a waste just for the name.

DO NOT BUY FROM KOSPEED. Their shit don't fit worth a fuck. Wasted $114 on that crap for my s14. Shit don't even line up with itself, I mean like I had to fight it just to bolt the front half to the back half and I couldn't hang it on one of the hangers by the rear bumper. And piss poor customer service. They called & left a message offering to replace it but I would have to pay shipping or they'd give me a chump change refund. & They still haven't sent a response via email after a week. It's going to cost me more to make it fit right than what they offered to refund me. Better off just buying an ISIS cuaback.
