do the catback exhaust on ebay actually do anything. Or are they like super load and dont do much for ur car. Same ? with the headers and high flow cats are they worth buying of ebay if not tell me lookin to replace stock exhaust

 

They're basically the same thing as any other exhaust, just not name brand. I'm sure people will come in here and argue with me on that point, but in most cases, you won't see much of a difference between an OBX N1 and an Apex'i N1.

 

screw that, they dont fit for sh*t, sound horrible and dont add any power.



I know from experinece. My buddy had one.

how does that make any sense? LOL

i have an ebay exhaust with 2.25 mandrel bent piping and im cutting off the big *** muffler for an es oval.

 

they all do the same job.
soung good and they last for a long time.
i you spent alot of money on a brand exhaust you r paying more for the brand.
no brand get the job done.
for example: Tsudo
looks good and sound good.

 

^^^^ I agree!!

No **** they sound horrible, show me a d-series with a bigass fartcan that doesn't sound horrible. But that isn't the point. I don't know what kind of catback your friend actually had, but if it was a Tsudo or an OBX, there shouldn't have been anything immediately wrong with it. Sure, it might age a little more quickly than a Greddy or something, but right out of the box the performance should be about the same.

My Tsudo N'1 aged pretty quickly, but an SOS pad cleans that stainless right back to the day I got it.

 

i had a greddy header it was high flow and light. but i just recently bought an airmass header off ebay for 97 and 12 shipped and it fits sounds and works fine no leaks and it is shiny woo hoo my greddy got heated and turned brown they were both stamped so i know it was the real deal. the weight was the only thing in noticed.

Yeah, generally no-name brand stuff is slightly heavier than brand name stuff is, but thats not really that big of a deal in most cases.

 

i can vouche for the fitment of the tsudo sucking a$$. it bolted up fine, but hund 3" low and was dragging badly. had to spend another $100 to get it rewelded and brought up. not just the hangers cut and the pipe lifted either, more like so bad that the pipe had to be rebent in 3 spots and rewelded. dont get me wrong, it bolted up, and sounds like a D w/ catback, but hung low, way too low.

 

My old z6 sounded badass with a ebay catback. Nice low roar with just a bit of scream in top end vtec. Its the ONLY car ive ever seen that doesnt sound like a goddamn weed eater.

But id say most sounded like ****. Cant believe how nice mine sounded though.

 

LOL! My Tsudo hung SUPER low for about a week... and then I found out I hung the resonator piping upside down, lol! It hung like 2 inches off the ground! I was an idiot for not taking my time and just wanting to hear the sound of my new exhaust!

 

deleted, posted twice by mistake, sorry!

 

well, one end had the 3 bolt flange for the cat so it couldnt have been in backwards in my case. i have since swapped to a custom 2.25" header back, no cat, w/ stainless header, and its ricey.

 

i run open header no exhaust and Vtec is crazy

 

youll sound like a lawnmower

 

does any one have this one mugen twin loop replica or

 

Ive got that muffler. Haven't had a chance to test it yet though because i don't get my license back until May 3'rd so i can go get it put on. The welds are good, and it seems to be built well. I hope it sounds good when i test it, but if it doesn't i'll just buy something else.

 

I wish they would make one of those with a 3inch inlet.

 

 

Just save up, on a nice exhaust that u know that is proven to give horsepower

It's basically the same thing, you have to look at it from a higher point of view.

Me looking at it from a fab's perspective, its just a stainless pipe with an N1 muffler, sure the materials and methods of manufacture might be cheaper, but it's essentially the same exact thing. The difference in horsepower between a Tsudo N1 and an Apex'i N1, if there is one, is very minimal compared to the difference in prices.

 

i have a megan exhaust on my hatch with an obx "cat" aka resonator and i love it, it sounds really good and with the addition of the second resonator...errr i mean cat there is absolutely no raspyness at all for megan racing

 

For hp gains from the exhaust, its important to have a good cat and a good muffler. Other than that, its all pretty much the same.
