Help With Exhaust/Intake!! (Newbie)
I just got a Evo Ix not to long ago, and im still new at this whole car scene. I see alot on this forum that people are really satisfied with their Ebay Exhaust.
I just need help with finding the right one, are all "Ebay Exhaust" the same? if there are any good ones that anyone recommends? Links would be greatly appreciated!
And what would be a good intake to pair? Or any good intake? Links also Appreciated(:

Its just that I'm trying to budget a little for the time being, and I heard that the eBay exhaust was a good substitute. And I browsed around the forum and people posted links, but they expired. Where can I find this speed density intake?

do yourself a favor and dont listen to this guy. i run a 3" ebay turbo back exhaust with a magnaflow replacement muffler and i payed $225 total. the ebay units have been proven to make the same power as the top of the line mufflers because it is all just 3" tubing.
the hks exhaust is also not a true 3" system like the ebay exhaust so it wont make the same power and it will cost 3x more
.you can make plenty of power off the stock intake setup and your money is better spent elsewhere like a tune, lower intercooler pipe, or a invidia O2 housing. If you have to have one you should go with a simple intake like perrin, you can go with a speed density setup down the road but since your just starting to mod your car things like this can wait.
just remember to get a tune, that is the most important thing with these cars.

The problem I find is that the muffler in Ebay catbacks are made lower quality muffler material and tend to fail and change the sound and pitch
Buy it if you'd like but I'm buying a Tomei Ti for 960 shipped it is 10.6 pounds and full titanium
I also have a HKS Intake For sale If you need one, I'm changing over to a ARC box

I think the one I was referred to was the "first racing". Tbh they're pretty much all the same. A steel pipe is a steel pipe is a steel pipe. Kinda hard to mess something like that up. Whatever one you go with, make sure it's specifically made for the 9. An 8 exhaust won't fit a 9. And pick a seller with good feedback.
eBay exhaust is perfectly fine.

the reason why people dont know the name is that there isnt really one, a bunch of people buy the same chinese exhaust and sell it under different names.
if you dont have to worry about emissions then get the turbo back, if you have to worry about them then get a 3" catback and call it a day.
