Ebay catback
Anyone seen this ? Or has one ?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7901929242&catego ry=33630&sspagename=WDVW
Looks quite nice. I was quoted about $600 for a custom made one, which is quite expensive.
What are the downsides of this unit ?
Thx!

It might be a good deal but they don't say what muffler it uses, which makes a pretty big difference. It does not look like it includes a midpipe to me. I like the "add our turbo manifold for super power part" makes the guy sound like he doesn't know what he is talking about.

You do have a point about the muffler though.

Yes... I saw that about manifold, but I think he has the same exhaust for FC and he uses a sort of template for his eBay ads. Probably a mistake
Why would it matter which muffler they use as long as it works and has 3" all the way through ?

I'm not obsessed with name brands. Sure, it would be nice to have APEX'i, Blitz or 5Zigen catback... but not at 3x the price.
While being at it - I might get my own exhaust fabricated

but, as you said, shipping cost would be very high!
I'd prefer a straight muffler, like Blitx or Racing beat, but the cost is so low that I can really think about it!!!
Another thing, i think this will be very loud...

If they cut it in half so the girth (measurements) fit the USPS requirements, then it shipping wouldn't be so bad.
On the other hand, I think I can get custom exhaust fabricated (APEX'i N1 style) for about $250.

On the other hand - is there no exhaust maker in Italy ?
We have deVito, that makes exhaust out of 0.8mm thin stainless steel plates and its almost as light as titan exhausts. But its about $600.

Not any "brand" name like Supersprint or CTSS produces it
I can recall that Remus produces one
I have a friend whose job is making high performance exhaust, but i've never asked him about one
I thought of keeping the stock because of cops
Another option is to build up one very quiet, but I still have to find a good layout of the muffler
Lightness is not my first concern, it has to be quiet!

ANd also
he works only with AISI 304 and Inconel 600, so no rust!

I have this catback on my car. The muffler/tip is angled exit, but I think it looks great. I actually got mine for $105 plus shipping. It looks about like an n1 single. I am still running stock precat and main cat, so it is not loud at all. I give it a thumbs up. The only bad thing about it is that their packaging is pretty poor, and the tip was bent up some when it arrived. I still havent gotten it all the way back in round, if I wanted to use the silencer I could not anyway.
IF you want to see pics of it check the thread "pics of my new fd paint rims" not more than a couple of weeks old.
