JVT Racing TBE, cheap!?!?

Hey, I was looking around at the different prices for TBE and I came across one for around $420 shipped. I know you get what you pay for most of the time, but it seems like a high quality exhaust from the pictures, although the sound clips of it on other cars seems a bit too loud for me. Has anyone had any experience with it? I searched and found nothing about this exhaust so I'm assuming no one has really tried it.

I'm probably still going with perrin because I like the sound, but if anyone has any helpful info on this exhaust, post it up! Thanks

never heard of them until now. The welds look good and the material looks good as well. Fitment may be another story but you never know.

I went cheap on my first TBE (RNR) and it ended up being probably the biggest piece of crap ever. The hangers fell off, it had terrible fitment (due to a slip joint). I ended buying a RRE stealth 3" catback it is solid. The exhaust looks good but I would definitley think about saving up some more cash and buying a more well known TBE from a vendor.

Ya I hear ya. To me, an exhaust system just seems to simple to be spending $800+ on for a TBE. I mean, as long as it is 3" and somewhat straight, you'll get the same gains out of any of them, so I was just seeing if anyone has used this system and had any problems like fitment or overall quality like you said.

I love Perrin's system, but even with their 10% off its just over 800$, and I don't want the cat they include with it. They should offer the whole system with a test pipe at a much lower price.
