Would you buy this exhaust?

I'm not buying this exhaust or even thinking about it. I just want to know what people think about it. Most people say "its ebay so its crap." Why is it crap? Its made with t-304 stainless steal with mandrel bends which is what most of us are buying anyways for $700-$1,200. Once again I don't want this exhaust, I just want to know what you think about it.

I'm sure someone will buy it and try it. It might not last very long and sound like crap, but who knows... Seems cheap enough to try if you are willing.

I used to have an ebay catback and it wasn't that bad. It doesn't sound like crap. I'd say it sounds just like or close to any round cansiter muffler exhaust system; ie: HKS high power, Greddy Ti-c, etc. Fitment was direct on. No mods needed nor any cutting.

About the longrun, I don't know because I only had it on for maybe 100 miles then got pulled over. hahaha!

Overall, if you're on a budget and the popo wasn't an issue around where you live, it's okay I guess. :]

I run this exhaust and it is not bad. It is a nicely made unit and the welds are top quality. My exhaust required that I cut/reweld flanges so that it properly fit in my vehicle. For me this was not that big of a deal because I have a chop saw and TIG welder at my house, but for others this will necessitate that you have a muffler shop with TIG install. I also noticed recently the rear bracket is rubbing on the rear PS swing arm. I will have to modify the rear bracket for additional clearance.

At some point in the near future I am going to remove the flanges and install v-band clamps.

If you are cheap, just get the POS exhaust. Its less than $200 for FULL system.
