Default ebay exhaust gone wrong!?!?!?!

Lol well it sounds mean as hell when u start it and give alittle gas but half throttle or more pissed off weedeater.....

What I have to do to tone this down? It's full header back exhaust, cat and resenator that look like just hollow piping with appearance look, muffler has a silencer that can be removed sound better without cause atleast its deep sounding then rasped other then with silencer on which just hear rasp only....

What u guys suggest? Change muffler? Add resonator?

Buy a real exhaust.
And I doubt that's a real cat. Probably a test pipe they're calling a cat.

..spend more then 100 bucks on an exhaust next time. or buy a new res/cat/muffler cut out the old ones and put in the new ones. vibrant or magnaflow.

brandless ebay buys are a toss up. mostly its what you have after 2 months. sometimes it holds up.

This is what I first thought. The platinum in the cat has to be worth some dough and spending eBay money on an exhaust can't yield a real cat. Those things aren't cheap.

Just keep your stock exhaust until you have enough money to buy a real one and sell the ebay thing. Hopefully you won't lose too much money on it.

Still cheap. And that's a shame because if you saved a little more money you could have gotten a quality exhaust. With the cash you NOW have to spend to modify/fix this one it will probably cost you more.

Well the fix for now was leave header one and direct bolted rest of stock exhaust up, no more rasp, its quiet again and motor growls under full throttle now
