idk im thinkin about it. i might just throw a few more bucks in and get a cut out welded into an aftermarket test pipe with a o2 housing and downpipe. keep my stock catback on so when i close it its nice nd quiet

 

I bought this exhaust system from ebay when I was stock turbo and I had it for 11k and no problems, all you do is cut out that tip and weld a good tip like hks ti anything you like and trust me is not loud at all sounds like any other evo would sounds with turbo back exhaust

 

werddddd

 

It may sound the same but the quality of it is still bad. Everything is seized on mine and if I want to remove the exhaust, I would have to remove the whole TBE. From downpipe to muffler. It's also a matter of time before the chrome starts chipping off and then rust starts happening along with holes in the TBE system.

If you do go the eBay route, I WOULD NOT use the bolts that the eBay kit will give you. Go to a hardware store and buy the stainless steel versions of the bolts that you got from eBay and put anti-seize on them, then slap it together.

 

actually funny you said that, i was thinking about spraying the whole exhaust with the black heat resistant spray. not really with intentions to retain heat but more to protect the exhaust and slow the process of corrosion
