First off I have a 93 cx with the lil 1.5. My downpipe is rusted out and muffler rattles. Local shops want $300+ for exhaust. I'm a Mitsubishi tech and can do stuff myself except bend exhaust so I'm looking at buying a complete exhaust header to muffler. I'm not made outta money like I said I'm a mitsu tech. Lol. So I found this on eBay and need know if anyone has personally seen or heard one of these exhausts? I don't want to rice it out or make it sound like a pi$$ed off weed wacker. Here's the link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CIVIC-92-95-...ht_4763wt_1008
Thanks in advance

its piping. if you did it cut out the resonator and get a different muffler. if not it will sound like garbage. it might still fit like total crap. its an ebay company.

or go to VRS buy your own piping and get a muffler/resonator combo. 300+ for a decent exhaust isn't bad.

It's a cheap crap exhaust. Cheapest they do. I called 3 shops and they all were within 50 bucks of each other

What about junk yards? You may get lucky and find a 93 someone replaced the exhaust on and then wrecked it....

I went to 2 junkyards and they always cut the damn converters off and destroy the pipes in the process.

You should check the seller feedback and look for somebody that bought the same thing and then try to contact the buyer and see how the like it on their car

I also did that to no prevail. I have tried every trick up my sleave and can not find one person with personal experience with it. So much on the Internet but you never can find a straight answer. And I don't wanna go by people presuming its junk just because it's on eBay.

DNA Motoring is an Ebay seller. Not a brand. Do you people not get this trick? They sell knock-off Chinese merchandise just like everybody else. It's an exhaust that they are selling under their name. They do not manufacture exhausts. Pass this on by or get it and wish you hadn't.

I realize it's a company that also manages an actual website not just eBay.

Doesn't matter. Many drop shipping companies, which is what his one is, also maintain separate websites. Doesn't mean they manufacture their own exhausts. And from teh images they provide it looks JUST LIKE every N1 "style" knockoff Ebay POS exhaust as the next company sells. And WTF do you think you're getting for only $190? I've been on Ebay since '01. Seen these all these companies. They sell the same junk everyone else is selling.

If you're going to shop for this stuff go to JHP. They have their own website, and sell quality stuff there AND on Ebay. You're better off piecing an exhaust together from Pepboys or JC Whitney.

Or buy eBay piping, and get your choice of REAL muffler and cat welded in. That's the route I went, ended up being cheaper than getting a full name branded sticker. As long as the piping is mandrel bent, it's kind of hard to screw up.

I just said the hell with it. Found a muffler shop to replace the a pipe and muffler for $160. I didn't feel like chancing an eBay exhaust.

Got one from DNA. Looks good decent quality good fitment can't beat it for 100-140 shipped!

Hatch45385

I just got it back with a factory type exhaust quiet as could be all I hear is the cai. Sounds great and it was good priced. Can't beat it

Of course you did! I mean, a pipe is just a pipe right?
