Ebay Exhaust RS - unboxing-ish
Hey all first post here on this forum. I decided to go the cheap route in parts as I do not keep cars all that long, and I am not sure what my future plans are with this car are so that being said I wanted to do a few mods the in expensive route.
I could not find much info online with this specific exhaust system. It is a cat-back for under 200 shipped. I figured a local exhaust shop would probably do the same or comparable work. As for now here are some pictures of it out of the box. Some welds are kinda poor but acceptable. I can follow up with a video once it is installed tonight. I also wanted something that is hopefully quiet. If I plan on keeping the car I will go turbo, possibly AVO to keep it simple and they are local-ish, but as for now. here are some pictures. |

I am very curious about this, would love to see some installed pics and a sound clip. Im like you, I change cars like underwear. No need in a $600+ system if Im only going to keep the car for a couple years.

Wouldn't the standard system be hard to beat for "cheap and quiet"?

When I get everything installed I will for sure get a quick video and a few pictures.
I have a rear diffuser also from ebay. I have seen cars with them and the small tips look kind of funny with it. I do like having a little tone but nothing crazy. This should also provide enough flow temporarily if I decide to go with the AVO setup. I bought an ETS V2 quiet for my evo x and did not remove it when I sold it 1k mistake. |

Turns out this exhaust is not loud at all, very mellow. Install was a breeze, no forcing things into position. I am missing a gromet on my driver side for the muffler portion so I cant say the position is perfect until I get one. I have not had the car a week so its a work in progress.
Also to note, do not buy an intake. Runs like crap, but I should have known considering my last 8 wrx/sti's |
