Hey guys, so i was thinking about some quick bolt on power and i came across this on ebay while searching for "header back."

Anyways, I know the exhaust is a megan and the headers and downpipe are no name brand, but at around 500 for a complete header back i dunno if i'd regret spending it later.

Here's another question... Would I need a mid-pipe section to make an exhaust completely new? Say if I were to have a New header and downpipe and then a cat back.... I'm thinking I'm about to answer my own question and say NO. But feel free to give me the right answer everybody. Or just a response in general would be nice.

First things first...10-16 horsepower? Not likely. Try about 5. And I'm not sure if that is a catalytic converter or just another resonator, but it would be better with a cat. You will trigger the check engine light...granted there are ways around it. I hope you like scrubbing the black from your rear bumper though.

Oh, and that muffler. Total Rice-a-roni.

Personally, I wouldn't buy it.

Peep the exhaust FAQ in my sig, I think I reviewed that exhaust system fairly throughly just after the first post for a member. In short, its crap.

Bro if you are going to buy an ebay exhaust.. go Tenrai... its not too loud. Its only loud when you floor it.. and it sounds gorgeous.. I have it and love it.. ive had it for 2 years now no rust no bs.. its sounds clean. no rice at all. here is the link

i had looked over that review when i first joined. it didn't click that it was the same thing i was looking at. haha. yeah i'd definitely want a cat as to sound less farty... and definitely want something quieter than that tenrai exhaust. I think i'm just gonna get an exhaust from an EX somewhere around here and put a high flow cat of some sort on it. How's that sound?

I suggest you just do the intake and exhaust first, and leave the stock cat in the ex downtube... get a feel for what its like after a few months, and then switch to a RT high flow cat and downpipe- you'll actually feel the difference instead of looking around wondering how much power each one gave you.

that's a very good idea.... cuz that would definitely be what the next thing goin through my head... i wonder how much power this added? I'm goin to a junk yard on monday...

all ebay stuff is crap unless you buy named brands, dc sport, mugenpower, spoon etc.......... if you want to waste your money and **** your car up go and pimp it from ebay, but if you want real performance and street cred buy legit ****

...yeah i wonder what my "street cred" rating is? I wonder if it's between 300 and 800?
