Does anyone have any experience with the $160 cat-back systems for sale? Seems that for the money if they're all stainless and they fit well that it might be a good buy. My last exhaust, a Greddy, is toast and I don't wanna spend 4 to 500 again. Appreciate any feedback from GSR owners

 

you get what you pay for. how can your GReddy be toast already? search around the classifieds and you can find some great deals or check the sponsors

exactly...you get what you pay for...dont be suprised if it sounds like **** and falls apart really fast...

 

It's one of the first Greddys- circa '96 I believe. Two years ago the packing came outta the can so I replaced it with OBX muffler, and that same year the resonator pipe rusted (I'm in the snow belt)so I had it replaced with a straight pipe (didn't like the upped noise level with that btw, but I kept it) and now there's a hole in another pipe and it's damn loud. Should I look into Kteller's piping and keep my universal muffler you think?

 

Ironically this lad spent 5 bills on a greddy and its "toast" so how praytell does your "get what you pay for" philosophy apply?

I bought catback for my old Si for $250 off ebay a year ago, it was awesome and really deep toned. The fitment was not as good as like N1's for example, I had to use a two spacers in the factory rubber supports. May not be worth the hassle.

 

There are many grades of stainless. The e-bay ones tend to be at the lower end of the spectrum as far as durability/corrosion resistance. You probably won't get 8 years out of it like the Greddy
