I came across this on ebay --> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW
It basically says it's a Greddy SP 'style' muffler. Does anybody know how this knockoff compares to the real thing? Could it be the same situation as the intake... does it really matter what brand-name is on the product?

 

Matter in what sense? Mufflers don't give you hp so in that sense it doesn't matter. The sp doesn't really sound that good/bad so that shouldn't matter either.

 

the only things that looks like the actual greddy sp, is the tip. Other than that... it looks different.

 

that thing has been on ebay forever. i doubt it's good stuff...

 

If you're going to spend $100 for a muffler, don't waste it on an ebay version.
Put your $100 towards a decent muffler like a Powertech or something along those lines.

 

1 that thing sucks. 2 it prolly sounds like a fart can. 3 I'm sure that u have to weld it on. 4 yea it is sooo light cause it is a tin can. the person buying it would prolly just buy it on looks and thats it. If you are buying that for performance or sound i bet you would be better off just having no muffler.

 

Well I have bought couple of universal mufflers already off of ebay. One for a 97 sentra and it turned out well and it is still in great condition, no raspy noise, no "fart can" noise or what so ever. For my maxima I am currently using that muffler right now the GreddySP Style. However they sure raised the price on it though hah! But since I have a WS Y-pipe, Carsound cat, stock B-pipe, and this muffler; it does not sound raspy, bad, or fart canish. The muffler produces a deep tone nothing more and nothing less. That's just my experiences.

 

Thanks, that was some great advice guys. You've satisfied my curiousity. I think I'll hold out for the real thing. Damnit... when will they release the SP2 for the 97+??
