Exhaust on a budget

Yup, because I had the chance to buy one or the other and I chose the Scion. That says soooo much about me right? It's not because I got a great deal because my dad works for the company, or it's not because I enjoy dealing with Toyota corporate so much more than Subaru.

My opinion is invalid, you're right.

Just saw that @BadBRZ came from an SRT4. You've got soooo much room to talk.

Badbrz, your posts are saying SO much more about you that this man's choice in cars and exhausts.


Exhausts for my last car started around $1400, I had my local muffler shop whip up this exhaust for my 135i for under $200 and it sounded every bit as good as the expensive exhausts, and saved maybe 35 pounds compared to the BMW performance exhaust.

yes, yes i did. now lets see how that exhaust looks after two winters of snow and salt.

see if the money saved is money worth.

My exhaust on my "srt" (it wasn't an srt if you noticed) was still 1200 dollars, stainless steel mandrel bend 3" from turbo back.

I'm giving you shit b/c it's a shame to see people cutting corners on these cars when they deserve so much better. This isn't your moms hand me down civic or used altima. It's going to be kids like that who half ass mods to save money that will make these cars known as trash 10 years from now when half of em have crap on it like that exhaust..

but hey like i said, typical scion owners, fortunately not all are like you just the 51%

Sorry i hold these cars in such high esteem

your cars do as you wish, just try to have some self respect and do things right

So wait, saving a little bit of money by paying local people that you see every day ISN'T a win-win? I'm not sure if you realize, but nothing on this guy's particular exhaust is cheap shit like you say it is. Just because it doesn't have "Perrin" or "Greddy" stamped all over it doesn't mean its cheap garbage.

Sometimes, and I mean SOMETIMES, you get more than what you pay for. Especially when you do business in person. If you use good quality pipe and parts, you'll have a one of a kind product that surpasses the quality of a high volume product.

And I own a BRZ.

You do understand that the exhaust you are paying for is reproduced the exact same way this guy's was, right? A muffler shop mocked it up, welded it, then sold it in mass production. I have over a $2,500 full exhaust on my car. I'm not bragging, but I'm just telling you because I understand that I could've done a lot of stuff with just a muffler shop like this guy did. I just chose not to.

The welds are rough, but the bends are fine.

Whatever, I'm not going to argue with you. There's no point to it.

Can't believe diss7 was banned and elitist college "ricer" bros on a high horse trying to be the token forum comedian (funny sometimes but grossly uneducated at other times) talking down to people, purely because they don't have the same opinion. The irony really.

[husker741]

Did s2d4 come in here and post? Cuz I can't see his posts, but I can see that he did post. Ignore button FTMFW.

[s2d4]

Ignorance is bliss, for people who wish to remain mentally unchallenged.

[husker741]

It's like he wants to be heard, but no one is listening.

Sorry to derail your thread, OP.
