What exactly is the concern about in terms of durability? It's made out of 304 Stainless steel, the same material as the more expensive exhausts available (every one I've looked at at least) so I wouldn't expect corrosion resistance to be worse.

I think were are all alittle surprised on how good an ebay exhaust sounds haha. I hope it holds up and with a few drive bys we should have a better feel for it.

I'm very surprised on how good it sounds. I like that it doesn't sound like a typical 4 banger. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger.

I just received the J2 Dual single tip exhaust last week and it was not a perfect fit without reusing the donut gasket that really wasn't made for the pipe but I made a spacer and bent a few hangers it fit very nicely. I ran the straight pipe muffler delete for 3mo before this and that is WAAAYYY louder than this exhaust. There is no droning on mine but like I said compared to a straight pipe muffler delete this thing is quiet and smooth Ebay 360.00 shipped.

Indeed, that's why is everyone is so surprised how awesome it sounds. The other concern is the durability. Honestly, the sound in that video sounds pretty nice and for $400, the sounds beats all the other exhaust that are $600+.

Since its so cheap. With the money saved . I would get it powder coated. Or just spray it with high temp trust proof paint.

I was thinking the same thing, and I happen to have the supplies already in the garage.

The quad sounds meaner than the duel...atleast from the videos. If the drivebys hold up I think J2 will be making some money lol. I was expecting a high pitch "fart can" noise and instead it was a low growl?!

I got the j2 duals in the mail. Did anyone have trouble with the t pipe getting really close to the sway bar and the tips are almost touching the bumper?
