do those cheap 20 dollar ebay kits work just as well as any high priced ones. the true only difference i can really see is maybe different kinda of filters just wondering on a second thought. also what is a good sounding exhaust system something cheap and not LOUD i dont want some rattly sounding crap. something with a nice low tone to it. has anyone ever tried using flowmaster 40 series mufflers on there civics. i honestly thing it would be better than those straight through style ones because it still gives you enough back pressure and one sound like a dam bumbo bee

 

I really doubt that the real AEM/Injen intakes perform noticeably better than their ebay counterparts. I'm sure that the coating on the real intakes does probably keep the air a slight bit cooler, but when our engines move so much air, it doesn't make a significant difference. As for the filters, you'd probably want to replace the ebay one with the k&n.

As for exhausts, I have yet to hear any custom exhaust sound as good as the longer-muffler'ed Hks and Greddy systems. But, those get kinda pricey, so you're probably stuck with custom unless you want to shell out the $$.

 

i tried to find the dynograph for intake comparisons, no luck
but i remember that AEM did do quite a bit better on the dyno than the rest and way ahead of the cheaper ones.....but they are better than stock and get more air flowing so i would say they aren't a waste of money and maybe better cost-wise than the more expensive brands

and that's my 2.5 cents

 

yeah the aem one did do like 1 hp better than the other good brand , cant remember tho.

 

im not looking to spend alot of cash. has any one ever heard these cars with a chamber style muffler something not straight thru? if anything ill probably just make the exhaust myself and just bring it to a shop to get it all welded together and it will probably be just as good as greddy and other expensive systems just half the cost

 

From my experience I think it's best to spend alot of money on an exhaust. Buy something that's proven with a nice quiet tone. Try Greddy, THermal R&D, HKS and so on. A stainless steel catback system is your best bet.

Otherwise you might have something that doesn't flow worth **** or is so loud that it's nothing but a cop magnet.

Cut corners on intakes but not exhausts. If you're not willing to spend much money at all then I would say you should leave your exhaust stock.

 

hehe you know how easy it is to make your own stainless steal mandrel bent exhaust? its not to hard and thats what i plan on doing and spending half as much as you guys did on your top brand

 

then why the **** are you asking us about exhausts?

 

dont call your z28 a Z, thats a discrace to nissan, and if u just plan to argue about **** that ur gunna do to your car, dont ask us ******* questions, now go home and end life

whoopdy ******* do... Then STFU and GTFO and never ask for our opinions again.

 

I have a ebay intake on my car with a 2.5 exhaust and a flowmaster muffler 2.5 in 2.5 out sounds great i dont like fart cannons on my cars. So I think it sounds great.

DEF

Exactly. Yeah the Z series cars were badass, but I think respect is also due to the z28 Camaro's

 

Yes, I have tried the flowmaster 40 series and it really does quiet your car down. You really can't hear it until 5.5 to 6k rpms. I had the straight through stuf and it was to damn loud.
