Cheap exhaust for sale
 
What you guys think of this exhaust. It seems like a nice piece. I know that low priced items are bashed but I just received my J2 exhaust and it is pretty damn nice for the price. Thanks!

I have not. Cant find a video anywhere! It looks awesome and the price is crazy. Hopefully someone who owns one can chime in. Either that or I will have to be the tester lol

Yea I don't even see a manufacturer name. I think sound should be of utmost importance. You dont want an annoying drone on the freeway. Some axelback exhaust is similarly priced

Yeah I agree. I had the Berk single exit exhaust and the drone was unfavorable but this one has a muffler which may not cause drone. But thanks for your input I appreciate it.

Please don't buy this exhaust. This exhaust is a knock-off and will drone/leak/crack in under 1000 miles guaranteed. There are so many good, quality companies with REAL customer service that you can purchase from in this price range. I'd suggest Invidia (catback), Works (axle), or nameless (axle). All have been tested and proven to be of good quality. This worst sound is when you know someone purchased a cheap exhaust and you hear it rattle and vibrate against the body of the car from being cheaply designed with poor materials. Invest in a good exhaust and you won't have to buy one every couple thousand miles. Especially with Black Friday/ Cyber Monday, you can get a great deal on the exhausts I listed above.

"FEATURES:
Made of Stainless Steel with Mandrel bend
Increase up to 15-25 horsepower"

lol? Yeah... bullshit is what I call this. They don't even say what type of steel it is. Guaranteed crap.

Mikem53 11-28-2013 10:28 AM

You get what you pay for... Is it even stainless? (Quality of stainless matters!). Will the packing blow out? Fitment issues? Substandard welds?
Buying cheap will most likely end up costing you more than getting something descent in the first place.. These things can rattle from within and cause obnoxious noises you will never be able to find or fix.. Not to mention droning..
Better off buying something proven and descent from a reputable dealer..

You get what you pay for, I often get calls from people asking me if I can make there ebay exhaust actually fit the car. Usually it will cost more to alter it then it did to buy it.

It definitely seems like a piece of something.

it's an exhaust. it's not rocket science, and doesn't have to be hand crafted by artisans in new mexico to do the job you want it to. people bag on cheap exhaust because they bought expensive ones and need to reinforce their purchasing decision, same reason they bag on anything else they've never seen but can without hesitation recommend against.

that said it looks like 2.36" pipe, which is where most of these cheaper exhausts save the money. i'd stay away unless you plan on staying na.

and how much you pay for an exhaust has nothing at all to do with how good it sounds. my friend's $450 tsudo sounds better than my $1000 perrin 3".

I'd be concerned with the muffler taking a shit sooner rather than later.
