well my $600 ( over $1k new ) exhaust weights 11lb, and sounds mean as hell.
...Hey guys, I just bought an eBay exhaust for my $30,000 car. Pretty sweet huh. I got a sweet deal on it too. He wanted $288 shipped, so I offered $225, he declined with a counter-offer of $275. I was insulted with this $13 price drop & gave him my final offer 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' style, of $260 shipped. He took the bait and I paid.
Oh wow, I cant wait to see how this pocket change exhaust performs on this $30,000 car. I can probably already tell you, its going to perform within 2whp of your $800-1100 setup.
Going to the dyno in STL next month once its all done. Anyone have an o2 fouler? Ill need a couple of'm.

Nothing like kicking a dead horse ! How many ebay exhaust threads can one forum tolerate . That's the point , like a bad rash this debate will end . AMS and Buschur exhausts probably aren't that good after all , all the shop cars from both places are pretty slow (tongue in cheek) .

Piping is piping who gives a s(&t. Its nothing you couldnt get custom bent at a performance shop for the same money. Alot of cars I know have custom bent exhaust and had them made for the price of the Ebay units. If it fits the welds are good and its not restrictive with wierd bends. Roll with it.
Dont post it on here to get flamed by some catsa on here that think you need a Tripple Titanium Hydro Coated Exhaust

Actually, according to newly updated information from the International System of Units, high profile companies, such as GReddy, produce exhausts that have a unique 3 inch measurement. eBay exhausts are only 3" compared to, let's say, GReddy's 3.00" exhaust, hence the higher pricing and optimal performance. I think the SI system posted dyno graphs on their website.

I say why not, a pipe is a pipe. So what if it rusts in a year or 2(not saying it will) its freakin cheap!!! get another one. you can always get a name brand slip on muffler to make it look name brand anyways.

I will. The closest AWD dyno is 200 miles away, unfortunately. We are planning a AWD get-together for next month to St. Louis for a dyno day. Need to pick up a couple extras before then of course, & hopefully a tooonnnaaa will be there. If not, ill just have a phone tune.

Thats what im doing right now. Im wanting 11s for under $1,000 & all I need now is a EBC and a alchy kit. Im going to try to skip cams, and im still very indecisive about getting a ebay Intercooler... the AMS copy. Seeing the test results from one of the vendors, I believe Buschur has me really wondering. Although there test mule was a 600+whp car, the results arent going to as drastic as a 300-375whp evo.
