looks like the one that i have but mine was labeled differently and from a different seller.

i'd be willing to bet its probably all 2.25" piping not 2.5. which is fine cause you have a stock 2.25 collector anyway.

i have a nothin special 4-2-1 header
blox 2.25 adjustable test pipe
and a Tenrai 2.25 catback (which just so happens to look identical to what you're looking at lol)

this is what it looks like..

You get what you pay for. In this case, it looks like an extremely loud pile of scrap metal. I haven't used it, but I never would.

Wow for that price I'd get it and put on a muffler of my chosing and still be ahead in the pocket book. I'm tempted to get one myself cuz my B pipe is all rotten. Thanks for the pics D16SiHatch always helps to see things in perspective.
I am curious as to how it sounds and how the fitment was for you.

it doesn't sound too bad although without the silencer i'd certainly consider it moderately loud.. at high rpms lol. fitment is pretty good but it required a little tweaking to prevent it from vibrating against one thing or another. but i imagine with any aftermarket kit you're probably going to run into a few problems such as these. Overall though considering i only paid about $160 for it total, i really cant complain to much. The bends and welds look pretty good but i guess i'll see how they hold up over time. One day i may try something different, but for now it works just fine.

You can find cheap exhausts here on honda-tech. I got my full mandrel bent 2.5" with cat and axle-back exhaust from the marketplace, traded an AEM Intake+Strut bar for it.

I put that exhaust on a 93 2-door almost 2 years ago and I just turbo'd the car for the guy I sold it to this week, and when I was under the car the exhaust was still shiny and still sounds good, no leaks. The 'high-flow cat' is rusted completely all over, but the exhaust is looking good. I was impressed with the durability. Sounds good with the lil IHI on there too. It was a bit loud before the turbo.
