I'm in the hunt for an exhaust when I spotted this on ebay. I want to go with a full 3" Corkpsort till' I saw this. It look real good. Anybody have one? LOkks like the one thats in the group buy center.

damn looks good and i bet its quieter than the single corksport (quieter/more quiet) however you say it

 

I wouldnt do it...I had a ssautochrome single on my n/a and it changed the color b/c the heat was so strong..and eventually it broke the bracket hangers...and they had to be rewelded on....and then they broke again. SSA is not a good company...just an opinon.

 

ss dont make it, its made by motoria i have heard good things about these exhausts. do a search...

 

the funny thing about people and the cheap ebay parts is it seems to me that they expect to pay nothing and have it last forever. My personal experience(albiet limited) has been that the stuff is OK, just not premium- kind of like buying a part at Autozone vs the Dealer or NAPA etc.
As an example- we had here in the shop a el-cheapo tubi mani for a DSM to display various Garrett turbos so people could gawk at them while they pondered how much they could really spend. A kid who simply cant afford much bought the manifold from us and has simply abused the **** out of it. Hes "street raced" it, taken it to the orad course and beat on it, overheated the engine a couple of times, has NO flex coupler in the DP at all, everything that SHOULD kill a tubular manifold. THere is still not a single crack in it, and if he took the time to shine it up it would look brand new after all this.

Basically the way I look at it is pipe is pipe- HKS pipe is not better than Apexi pipe and vice versa- what matters is the fitment and welds-and since 90% of these exhaust are machine welded, its not really an issue. ANother example is we had a guy come in with an exhaust he had bought for an EVO, which is half the cost of the TurboXS stuff we normally recommend. We honestly thought it was going to be crap, but when we put it on it fit BETTER than the TXS and sounds about the same.

I saw this very exhaust and had considered picking one up as a trial unit on my own FC, but probably wont- if you get it let me know how it goes so I can file it away for future reference.

 

The description says "2.25" tips, but that doesn't match the picture. The tips are HUGE and in my opinion very ugly.

All stainless exhaust will change colour due to heat. Nature of the beast. Chrome will last a little longer but will blue as well. Personaly I love the fact that my stainless mufflers have a yellow/dark tinge due to the heat.

 

I'd hit it.

 

Ive been wanting that exhaust system.

Some guy on the forum made those and did a group buy I think.

I believe he made a single setup also.

 

I bought the same setup from RJ Molnar here on the forum (group buy mentioned above).

I don't have the car running, so honestly can't tell you about sound and longevity -- however the quality seems to be very good for the price. Fitment was good although I'm not going to be able to use the downpipe as is since I'm doing an RE swap in my 'vert. Either way though, the exhaust looks very good, seems to fit very good, welds appear to be very good -- and for a 3" SS exhaust with mandrel bends, I don't think the price can be beat...

My recommendation: Buy it.

 

I have it as well, and it's as good of quality as the RB counterpart... And Aaron the tips aren't as big as the pics make them look... They aren't 2.5" but they fit the bumper cutouts nicely, and the mufflers also tuck under the car very well... It's definately not an "in your face" exhaust if you know what I mean...

 

That's funny, because I had their 3" single on my modified TII for a long time with no issues whatsoever... It was very loud, but was a well built system... The duals are supposed to be a little quieter, but I never got to install them on a RUNNING vehicle, so I dunno yet...

 

I have that system on my car. Im so glad I bought it. It saved me a bunch of cash. & it works perfect. Its loud a ****!! & will make you spit flames really easy. Easy to install. Exhaust is exhaust, the difference in quality between manufactures is small, & only if its titanium or carbon. But stainless steel is stainless steel. The discoloration is gonna happen to the downpipe no matter what brand you put on there, & the muffler too, it looks good & sounds good
IF YOU CAN, BUY IT. YOU WILL BE SATISFIED

 

i've had the SSAC turboback on my car for over a year with no issues.

 

My racing beat full 3" turboback was worth every penny. I would not call racing beat overpriced at all.

 

I have the single outlet exhaust from motaria and love it.

It is a loud exhaust though so either learn to like being loud or modify it.

I just got my exhaust from SS Autochrome last friday lol. Get this, I ordered the single turbo back and they sent me the dual At first I was mad that they sent me the wrong one, but after I calmed down I checked out the website and saw the retail price. I saved $225 I plan to install it this weekend, if I can get outta work at a decent enough time. I'll let you know how it sounds.

 

my "cat" broke at the welds and had a horrible exhaust leak. you get what you pay for.....It will be loud, sound nice but the quality is poor. If you end up wanting it still buy it from the forum member with the group buy....help HIM out if you're going to spend the $$.

 

I believe the SSAuto is different from the Motaria. They might copy the design though like they do other products.

Here is motarias site: http://www.motoria.co.kr/

i wouldnt buy from them, if nothing else for the sake of dealing with them as a company. Worst customer service ever, a lot of people never get their exhaust. They put up auctions when theyre out of stock....

 

I bought My 3" single from SS Autochrome on EBAY.......when it arrived it was in a MOTORIA box and the exhaust had MOTORIA on the canisters and the cat...........Motoria is the Supplier for SS autochrome.....or something like that.

 

I own that exhaust. Its a good looking exhaust for the money.

The only problem I had was that one muffler ended up hanging about 1" lower than the other. Had to do some minor adjustments to the piping. A little heat with the torch and fixed!

It is a very loud system and attracts a lot of attention.

It does come with silencers but silencers are for pussies.

 

Yeah, if you look at their auctions they say they are motaria exhausts. SSAuto just dealers the exhausts out. I haven't had a single problem with mine and the color hasn't changed anymore than normal.

Here is a vid of mine (single outlet)

I loved the sound but it was a bitch to drive at night or anywhere with cops...everyone could hear me driving from blocks away................I upgraded to the RB turbo-back and I will never use anything else....

 

Can someone that owns this measure the tip diameter? It looks like it might be a bit large for my taste.

 

From side to side on my single outlet it is 4 inches.
