tubing-wise, the ebay catbacks are actually a pretty good cheap system for our cars. You will definitely need to upgrade the resonator if you have any other exhaust mods, as the one they come with is pretty small and allows for a lot of rasp. One more recommendation is to get better exhaust gaskets than what the kit comes with(the ones in the kit are usually crappy cardboard ones).

For that price, it's an incredible deal for any real stainless catback.

Personally, I don't like the piping being 2.25 cuz its not really an upgrade. But for looks wise and to have a brand new SS system is well worth it for that money.

IMO, dual tip mufflers looks better than single (on the 5th gen Maxima).. Single tips on a maxi-pad is blah, gives me quite a rice-inducing feeling.

All that I have done to the system was test pipe the cat to fix an exhaust leak, I just want to be sure it won't be a fast cannon lol. I live in Miami and there's enough civics fartin around as is lmao

Lol yup I hear that...with that resonator and muffler on that system i doubt it will sound too great...

might be good if u get a new resonator like said ^^ above. and with 2.25 piping it shouldnt be loud
