Well the quailty doesn't seem great, and I always hated ebay parts but it does the job fine. My Car feels alive, and is super loud but has a sound that I don't know if I love. Il write up a thread and put a few videos

Cool! Please do post more thoughts and info.

My understanding is that exhaust parts typically start out loud and quiet down a little after they've built up a coating of soot on the inside of the pipes.

I've heard a few different sound clips from the J2 exhausts.. I loved all but one of them.. one of the videos it sounded too much like a lawn mower.. I guess it makes it sound more boxer.. but to me it sounded more harley.

The other clips I heard sounded great.


You just got the front pipe right? What is the rest of your exhaust system?

A buddy club spec 2 which is kind of a straight piped catback, I only got it to give it a shot and show people how it would sound. I'm going FI soon and I'm changing the J2 for sure

Besides, yelling at people here won't get your problem solved since ft86Club.com is not exactly the J2E Customer Service Department.

That said, I would first recommend that you contact J2E and see if they can help. If you're not that patient, take a picture and maybe we can help you get sorted out in your own thread instead of hijacking someone else's.

Not yelling just tryin 2 get some help..... idk how to post pics so i put them on my profile... j2 has not contacted me back at all. this is kinda a last resort before i chuck it off a cliff.

Do you have a video before the front pipe? I'm inclined to believe that your buddy club exhaust has a much greater impact on overall sound than this front pipe.

its both, the buddy club it self is a very loud exhaust but DAMN, after the front pipe i feel like I'm in a full on track car which does not suit the Frs with such power ... yet
