E-bay mufflers

It's like the saying, "You get what you pay for".

Spend a little more.

Re: Ebay Mufflers

I bought mine off e-bay about 4 or 5 months ago and its alright. Its really loud though but thats my fault for getting a straight through style. Its a seamless oval polished stainless can with dual tips. Cost like 45 or 50 bucks I think.

I did the E-Bay exhaust

I bought my stainless muffler from e-bay, and I love it. I think all together with shipping it came out to 125.00. It has a nice throaty sound to it. It turns heads. I would definatly buy off there again.

Yeah, you do get what you pay for. Its a beautiful car you're driving, you dont want the go-cart sound. Last thing we need is the maxima blowing rice.

Yea, I as well got my muffler off ebay about a year ago and had it on my old 89 maxima and then that got rearended and then I bought a 89 SE and I have it on there and i'm glad it doesn't sound all ricey. It has a nice deep tone too it which is nice, not too much of that high pitched rice stuff. I think it's worth getting off ebay if thst's what you want. I have no compaints with mine at all.

Ya i hate that ricy sound too. I was looking at a dtm one, i think those look the best on the 3rd gens cuz it comes right up flush to the bumper. i guess ill try my luck and if it doesnt sound good ill try to sell it back on ebay
