Default is this a good deal(exhaust)?

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




i was looking for an apexi n1 and found out that is runs for about $250, and that just the muff.

this exhaust seem to be good, and it comes with 2.5 piping and it is all stainless steel

and i read the comments left, and people like it.
here is video of how it sounds


so what do you guys think?

Ebay = crap. if you can't get the good stuff, save up. Don't be a tool and drive with an exhaust that will fall apart and sound even more like *** then it did new.

My friend but an N1 'style' muffler because he thought it was a good deal and he doesn't listen, sounds like ***.

you can get it cheaper on ebay than that

if i were you and had the money i would just buy the apexi axleback or muffler and get some piping done at an exhaust shop.

basically a name.
ebay stuff is cheap but it depends on what you get (person to person really)

the exhaust i got had the S pipe drag on the ground whichever way you installed it, but others it fit fine

one reason i thought it was a good deal was because it is stainless steel.
and it comes with piping.
i saw many other exhaust system on ebay for much less and they did not seem to be as good as this one.
if you hear the video, a guy just got it, i dont hear much difference between the Apexi n1 and this one.

sounds like *** in the video...doesn't sound as smooth as an N1. but thats jsut sound. honestly i had a full apexi cat back and a knock off muffler with exhaust mandrel piping and they both felt the same. i say try it out n take a risk.

Not when it's dragging on the ground and it's rusted to ****, the welds falling apart.. Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but you get the point.

Apexi N1 sounds like a vacuum cleaner on steroids to begin with...

That system comes in a SRS box.. If i had the money i'd do it...

I have an n1 replica (tsudo to be exact), eh i mean ****.. I wasnt looking to pay more than $300 for an exhaust and basicly..........I like it.. I can keep it relatively quiet with a silencer and the welds and quality are better than i expected...

as for that one specifically, i dunno, never heard of it...

you can get the exact same thing in the sponsor section. i think it was 170 shipped.

didnt you know???

the apexi logo on apexi n1's add like 40hp and because the logo is indented in the muffler it makes your exhaust note 1000000000 times more badass!
