how bad are they? i dont see why i should pay 300 more just for a name stamped on the exhaust.

anyone have good or bad experinces with ebay copy exhuasts?

 

You get what you pay for, im sure the ebay exhaust has garbage internals that will deteriorate quickly and im sure the sound would be bad. Imo your better off saving your money for a quality product from a quality company who stands behind their products. Do some searches on youtube and see what you can find for soundclips of different exhaust on different engines and do your research

 

oh i already know what exhuast i want but theres a 300 dollar price difference to get greddy stamped on whihc makes me mad...i need a new exhaust due to a hole, but dont have 500+ to shell out.

the ebay one is an exact copy, stainless and everything...i was just reading through the whole exhuast thread and only one person has ought an eay catback...

 

I've had an ebay catback for 2 years, same with my buddies' boosted b16. No rust, good quality. I could buy 3 catbacks from ebay before buying 1 from Greddy... but I don't need to.

 

what one did you buy? and how was fitment etc?

 

i had the greddy knock off on my b16 hatch no problems sounded good and never rusted. the kid i sold the car to still has it on to this day and no problem so its been on for about 4 years now. great fitment

lol internals?

Dude a resonator is a resonator, a cat is a cat. Not like Magnaflow puts some extra special **** in there resonators as opposed to Tsudo.

I bought a Tsudo "N1" off ebay for 185 shipped but never got to install it. Welds looked pretty decent, resonator wasn't huge but looked big enough to keep noise levels ok, it was full stainless steel, and the mandrel bends weren't bad either. The only reason I didn't put it on was because the idiot told me it was 2.5" when it was actually 60mm (2.36 or something)

Honestly an exhaust is an exhaust. As long as its the right size you want (2.25 vs 2.5), the muffler design you want, stainless steel, mandrel bent, and has some sort of resonator, it will sound/perform fine.

 

so basically i can buy thie exhaust

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW

and be confident it wont be a piece of ****?

 

something that shiny cant be bad

 

i dunno looks good to me...mandres bends and stainless...even if it only lasts 2 years its a good deal.

only thing im worried about is fitment

Mine fit together like a dream.

I just got done installing a 2.5" ebay exhaust w/2.5" magnaflow oval muffler and RMF narrow header. My car sounds like a wrx now, and the resonator hangs about 1.5" too low. Granted, I just finished it yesterday and havent had time to fix the hangers on the resonator RIGHT (mine arent like those in the link posted). I don't mind the sound, but the height problem MUST be fixed soon.

 

Yeah, mine was 6" too long but fit perfect after cut and reweld. Tsudo.

You really think you are paying for a stamp on the exhaust? Fitment is much better, sound is much better, bla bla bla.

 

you really think your not paying for the name?

 

i have had mine for about 8 months now no problems its a greddy knock off solid stainless steel from a guy named gtnissanpower. mine is somewhat quit for 2.5in n/a and 4.5in tip. much quiter than the n1 fits rediculusly perfect for me paid i think like 150(im jewish,what do u expect ) for it ill see if i can take a pick under the car tommorow and get it to u. i had a problem with my cat converter but that was from a different guy on egay. metal is metal and mine is stain less steel most are just coated stainless. cant beat it for the price. this is from someone that owns one so all u people that dont own one or havent owned one before cant really talk. but my other choice would have been an apexi ws2.

 

bump for anymore opinions before i buy this.

 

get it man, itll probably last you. I met a guy who bought one of those tsuedo N1 exhausts and after 3 years, its still on there and it still sounds good. For the record, youre not only paying for the name but the r&d that goes into a name brand. Anyone could make an exhaust.

this is after 8months and no leaks no breaks. nothing. to bad i cant let u hear it or i would tape a vid of it for u. this is annoying me they are not working. rrrrrr.

 

Get it. Its what you want. No one is going to make fun of you. Thats why I have seen more threads of a Greddy rusting in 2 years than a Tsudo.

 

pics didnt work..try hosting em on photobuket or something

 

just get it dood u will not be disapointed. look at the feedback on these people.

 

you might have to mod the catback a little there's like a 2 inch restriction on that pipe. i guess it's to fit the OEM cat, but might as well get a 2.5 inch cat and header while your at it, then mod the catback section where it's 2 inch to 2.5 and you will be set.

 

i bought one and i won't complain it sounds good with the silencer in it and looks good. also cheap

 

that can come later...i still have stock d16 for now...coming out this summer for built ls/v with smp rage header hopefully so that will all be fixed later

 

get greddy evo II exhaust. knock off. its great, sounds awsome ,rly deep, not ricey and no rust and it fit perfect i would def recomend it to any1. + its only like 300 and it costs like 575 from greddy and has 100% exact same specs
