So this is my first mod that I'm looking at buying and installing for my 2003 oz rally.
What I'm really just interested in knowing is it going to give me a nice sporty sound and not some ricey sound that some give and if its going to be the best I can afford for under $180

From the posting I know its from Zomk Speed
Has a 3.0'' Inlet tip
Has a 4.5'' Outlet tip
Made from SUS 304 stainless steel

Here is the posting of it,

It'll cost me $170 for it and I really only have $180 or less to spend on one.

It claims to give 20+ HP lol but I doubt it'd give me 2-5 so what are you guys thoughts on it? If its a good deal for what I'm looking for or if there is a better brand for under $180.

 

Anyone? I'm getting my paycheck next Tuesday and I'd like to know so I can order one that day.

 

No catback will give your Lancer that much power. Trust me, I use to have an 02 Lancer. My only advice is you need to beware of ebay parts.

 

Yeah I know..I really only want exhaust to make my lancer sound better so I'm not really worried about hp at all...because I know it doesn't do much if anything.

I'm just wondering if this brand is known to have a nice sound and not a ricey sound.

Unless you guys have other suggestions for brands for under $180

 

for 180 you arent going to find anything but rice burner exhausts. your better off going with a custom exhaust and getting a nice muffler

 

If you buy it, and it doesnt work so well, your going to kick yourself.

Buy an exhaust from a well known brand. Even hunt for it used, you will have no issues. Cause they are made to last and are engineered properly.

 

the most u wanna go is 2.5in on a n/a lancer 3in is to much for n/a lancer

 

yeah 2.25" would probably be fine but deff a max of 2.5" if you want it to drone a lot. 3" inch would sound really bad IMO.

 

i run 2.5in and i had it done at local muffy shop.. muffler is carbonfiber canister type , 2.5in in 4in out has short tip.. all aluminunm piping and the tone is nice in wot.. sound is ok crusing on streets @ 35mph when u keep it at low rpm. im benn runing w/o my silencer for 2 weeks w/o issues. its a lil louder but not enouugh to draw attention on the street from cops.. and yes my cat is still intact

 

my problem is I always pull the cats out of everything

 

So a better one would be around 2.5 inlet and 4 out?

 

I would wait for a good quality used settup

 

Hmm well are there any other options like get a custom 2.5 inch pipping etc. and then buy a good muffler?

 

eek not a fan of the looks of that one. I bought my catback off of Ebay for $200, its called a Tsudo. Sounds good but no power gains of course...definitely a decent exhaust for the money though.

 

Alright thanks. If you say Tsudo sounds nice I'll go with it because I'm getting my check today.

Edit: Okay so I found the Tsudo exhaust you were talking about for $200 but it says its for 03-07 Evo 8 9 Lancer Evolutions and I wanted to double check that it'll fit my 03 Lancer OZ.
