When a company promises 15-20 hp increase for 300 bucks I can't help but want to call Bullshit lol

You get what you pay for, might last 6 months or a year but who knows really?

FR-S Matt 12-26-2012 02:50 PM

lol, 20-30 whp is a full engine back system and even at that, a TUNED engineback system. I'd call BS on it for sure.

out of curiosity, what makes you come to the conclusion that it'll last 6 months to a year? The weld or piping quality? I just don't see something like an exhaust just falling apart on you without some sort of force or impact on it. Correct me if im wrong, i'm just concluding this based on my logic, i dont know jack about cars lol

Normal vibrations van be enough to break a sub-par weld. Also cheap metal will rust quick

from what you see, you think this would be a victim of poor welding and cheap metal? I'm on a budget, i was going to go through the route of getting the berk dual exit muffler delete and decided to look last minute for a good price on a catback

There have been some far more expensive exhausts with poor fit and build quality out for this car already. If you want something inexpensive go with something like the Invidia Q300 or at least a Magnaflow.

Have you looked at the Works resonated one? If i was doing a muffler delete i would at least want resonated.

Nameless is having a sale right now on their website also, they have a nice axleback system i would get something like that for now and a Motiv HFC since you are California at a later date.

After many years of modding cars, you start to pick up on what to use and what to avoid. One adage that holds true is you get what you pay for. There are a couple of products/companies that produce good products for the price, but they usually are never at the bottom end of the market.

You buy the best product that you can afford. This will cause less headaches down the road. This can be from inferior metals, bad welds, or even poorly fitting overall. If you really are on a budget, then hold off on buying. Wait till you have some extra cash and buy something nice and worthwhile.

It's a nice looking system. I'd be interested in some dyno charts, installed pictures, and sound clips if they have them.

Certain things are just sketchy to buy off ebay.

I honestly can't say based on what's on here. My advice to you would be set whatever you can aside a little at a time and buy something that's know to be quality to save yourself the possibility of future heart break.

I've bought budget in the past and ended up buying twice.
