My $80.99 full ebay tbe

UPDATED INSTALL PICS BELOW

I wanted to post some pictures of this exhaust that I recently picked up for $80.99 shipped. That's right, a grand total of $80.99 after shipping. The seller, surewinproducts (or something like that), usually sells them for $135 plus $80 shipping but for some reason this one had a starting bid at $0.99.

I had one of these units on my last evo. It fit well and performed well and I never had any issues with it whatsoever so I decided to get one for my current evo. This time it was just cheaper but the exhaust is exactly the same.

Please don't post on here saying that "you get what you pay for" or "why would you put an eBay part on a $30k car" or any other negative comments. The purpose of this thread is to show people who might be considering an ebay exhaust what they can expect.

Here are some pics. I painted the muffler section flat black and will post pics of that later, in addition to pics once it is installed.


















INSTALL PICS (I took the wrap off the downpipe since I had to "modify" it to get it to fit)

I recently bought the same exh on Ebay for the same price. I was shocked no one else bid on it. I have had it once before and it sounded great, a little on the loud side but not bad. This time Im adding a Magnaflow resonator to it to make it even quieter, we will see how that works out.

For the money the ebay kits are hard to beat. I have only had one at the shop that did not fit well but it was easily fixed. Fitting the exhaust for the JDM rear cover is easy. I just remove a few inches of tubing right in front of the muffler and re weld it , that way you do not need to modify any hangers. Any muffler shop should be able to do this cheaply.
