I just picked up a civic cx hatch shell basically to drop my z6 in and sell the car...but I don't have an exhaust, I'm thinking about getting an ebay bolt on full exhaust to just sell the car will these last awhile or are they just big piles of S**T?

 

eBay has its own brand of exhaust? Sweet.

If you're just going to sell the car, get a stock exhaust.

i wouldnt run the muffler but i picked up a 2 3/4'' stainless cat back, just for the piping. im going to throw a flow master muffler on it. it came with a fart can but the bends are mandrel and all tig welded and it fits good to boot.

 

I bought a 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust for about $225, was actually like 2.35 when i measured it. The thing started to show rust spots after a year, but fit perfectly. I threw a vibrant flat black muffler on and it was LOUD.

If you decide to go that route, get some rust protection and a new muffler. I wouldnt buy it again because I now know that an Apexi WS2 can be had for $380 new.

 

Best exhaust I have ever owned.

 

exhaust shop will prob make you one for $150-$200

 

x2

thats what I was thinking of

 

exhaust shops ftw!

really ebay exhausts have bad fitment and they rust... i would just get one made for my car and pick out the muffler that i want.

 

yeah but what sucks about most exhaust shops is that they do crush bent piping which sucks.. for instance lets say you want 2.5" piping all the way. When they pick up a steel to bend, they usually crush bent the piping to make it turn. Therefore on those bent parts you get 2.0" instead of 2.5" piping all the way..

 

ebay exhaust suck ba!!z
they dont even sound nice!
but if your going to sell it and not drive it then by all means go for it

 

ebay exhuast are ****, there loud dont even sound nice, i got a vibrant muffler welded on sounds nice now

 

If your just selling the car, go the cheapest route possible, list it as "jdm stainless racing type r exhaust". Every village has an idiot, maybe you can find one with money.

btw, that "304-stainless" everyone lists, its just a coating over aluminized steel (in ref. to cheap ebay stuff)

 

the ebay exhaust i bought was super light but the muffler felt like something was holding me back when i took off and throughout all rpms and on the freeways it was so deep i couldnt hear my radio or people talking lol so i cut the muffler off and put a better muffler now more power and its loud as hell when floored but on the freeway i could hear again piping is decent but as foar as the muffler cheap piece of crap like worse than a glass pack,but if you selling it find someone who is trashing a stock exhaust for free like i did i trashed mine

 

Don't get ebay exhaust,mind as well leave it stock till you find a real deal exhaust.

 

I've got one off ebay. Just make sure that the seller is a good merchant with many years and tons of sales and the quality of the metal is great. for the low prices you could always modify if it doesnt fit to your liking. mine cost about 150 compared to 900 for spoon mugen or toda

 

I don't really care how loud it is, i just need an exhaust it doesn't have one if ebay is the cheapest route to go then so be it.

 

you can pick up good deals on Ebay for name brand exhaust as well.. might be slightly used but for instance i picked up a Tanabe medallion cat back exhaust for $110 shipped with a silencer looked like only been used for several weeks..

 

ugh. ebay....

 

hahahahahaha


I agree with whateveryone else says. Buy it for the piping then weld on a uni muffler. thats what I did with my tanabe

 

...that is, IF the piping is of good, quality construction.

but you can't ever tell, so it's a hit-and-miss.

 

oh yeah I forgot to mention that part, hahaha its a good point

ebay=hit or miss

 

I know ebay quality parts aren't that great but like I said I can buy it just to put on the car to resell it, I'm trying to go the cheapest route possible

 

Please do yourself a favor, don't buy anything from ebay!!!

 

The cheapest way will be to find a used stock exhaust at the junkyard near you. It will probably cost you around $50 max.
