I know what you guys are going to say but I was thinking of buying a ebay catback and I saw someone posted about it in the newbie thread, but they didnt talke about it much. Has anybody had any experience with these? Is this a good buy?

 

Depends on which ones... someone here got one from Ebay and it turned out to be a pacesetter....not sure who though..

Oh... here it is

 

Please read, dan. Catback. Not a STS.

 

I got an axle back off ebay, pretty satisfied with it....

 

what brand is the axle-back and is it loud?

 

Six sigma technology or something, I don't think they make them anymore It's a straight through muffler so around 2.5k is the peak loudness but overall it isn't too loud. Not annoying or anything.

 

okeydokeysmokey, just lookin for a silent axleback thats all...

 

some said APEX WS2 was the quietest?? i dunno i have greddy and im satisfied with it.

 

greddy sp2's are awesome. Im also satisfied with the sound, very quiet. It just doesnt fit perfectly. Also cost me 500 bucks tho.

 

I was thinking something like this. The guy has 99.9% rating so Im thinking his products cant be that bad. I was also thinking of throwing a different muffler on it later when I get some more money.

Check this out, its the exhaust thread sticky. Pick an exhaust set up that will sound good with a y-pipe. In fact, I just recommend you buy a Y-pipe first. You'll see more power gains, it'll be low key, and its easier to install as long as you get the cat bolts heated off.

 

I have gone over that many times. I heard a clip that didnt sound bad with the ebay exhaust on youtube and was thinking of it. Im trying to get them both done together, because my parents said they would give me $400 for graduation so Im goin to throw a couple bucks down and get a y-pipe and exhaust.

Heres the clip: http://youtube.com/watch?v=CMTs-LA4sg0

 

Why does everyone want exhausts off ebay? Spend the money for some good stuff. It's tough IMO because a lot of guys buy the catbacks off ebay and say they sound good. I've yet to hear a clip that sounded good with ebay stuff. Only Nissan 6, with the Sigma axle-back, sounded very good. I think it's worth it to get good stuff. The y-pipe should come first and then save for the sp2 because it fits good on the 95-96. Or save for full cattman. IMO catbacks and muffler don't do much for power and actually get annoying. I'm starting to dislike the greddy sp1 muffler. Once I y-pipe (if I ever get off my a$$ and buy) I'm going to stock muffler with nice weld on tip. Get something worth the money.
