Default So my ebay exhaust arrived... (Installed)

So I ordered an exhaust from eBay. The parts store was called epart6060 and the exhaust cost a grand total of $374.99 shipped to my door.

Typical UPS style..... Box says Fragile and it's pretty well beat when it arrives.

Looks to be in pretty decent shape for such an inexpensive exhaust. Hope it all fits together well and lasts for quite a while.

Actually very nice! Looks a lot like the one that mid america sells for more than twice the cost. Good luck!

As important as the fit is, so is the sound. I would hate to have a good fitting system that sounds bad as much as a bad fitting system that sounds great. Sound clips needed!

They look pretty nice, especially for that price.

Keep us posted on how they fit and sound. Love to see some pictures after installation.

Only time will tell and I think living in Texas will help a lot with the longevity.

We will see how it goes. Hopefully not too bad since I will be using a drive on lift.

Looks the same as the Borla setup. I imagine its a direct copy.

I'll be posting clips. I can't imagine it not sounding similar to the design it was copied after. We will see though.

I will give a small report on loudness inside and outside as well as drone and where it's the worst if present.

For the price it was hard to pass up. I'll be adding pics in this thread of installation.

I have a similar setup I bought back in '07 when I bought the car. I think they sound great. My tips are different though and the system isn't as polished as yours. One tip for ya, get some better clamps. The ones that came with mine were junk so I welded the system in. Good luck with the install. Can't beat the price for sure.

You just might be able to hear it in person if I finally make it out to a meet.

Good to know. There will be a welder on hand incase this happens.

You mean like a shop in California where the exhaust was ordered from?

You don't need an exhaust to hang out with our group.
Were all a little loud when we arrive and leave the weekly GTG's.

Come on out ! You know where we meet right ?
