the ebay ones is probably cheaper and seeing as exhaust isn't really a performance gainer on our cars just go with the ebay brand.

those are ebay ones. the only thing i would be scared about with ebay exhausts is that they might sound like poop. but if i had to pick from those 2 i would say the second one.
let me guess 115.00 bucks buy it now with 110 shipping. i see them all the time. lol

^^^thats exactly what it is, but i know someone on this forum has the second one adn said it sounded nice and looked nice for the cheap price it is, and the fit was good, go to the exhaust section of PARTS/REVIEWS, im prety sure theres a review on it, go for the second one, teh first "TSUDO" style exhaust looks gay and extrememly ugly IMO, go for the second one and post up sound clips after u get it, im sure it will look and sound fine

megan racing catbacks are 300 shipped..few bucks more for a much better product imo. But if the exhaust comes w/warranty that's probably not too bad

i got a megan racing exhaust, just not off ebay, my friend owns his own business and gets me hookups, so i got it for $275 shipped, but still, megan racing is definetly alot better, just if you plan on gettin a body kit, your gonnahav to cut it b/c of the way it angles out, its touching my body kit and is melting it, so i had to cut it

Just got car, don't have much money translates to leave the car alone. Cheap gets you no where but fixing more things costing more money than doing it right the first time. Cheap mufflers sound like ***, and once you do one thing, you feel the urge to do 100 others. So leave it alone and save some money before you start anything that will run you into the hole.

i'm getting some clicking noise when i stop the car and then step on the gas... the honda tech told me it's something with the manifold and the aftermarket catback...
and also i don't really like sound w/o the silencer.. i want something more deep tone sound... so i'm driving with the silencer on and i like it but it doesn't look too good... very contradictory...

i did custom and love it...sound is deep but nice on the road and put a silencer in and it still sounds nice...just lower...i got mandral bent...meaning the bent the pipes and its not a perfect circle...then the other costs way more for it to be perfect...i got a muffler at a performance shop around where i live and my friend knew someone who gave me a deal on custom i paid under 200 for all under car piping(kept cat in for now) and i know unlike ebay ones mine will sound good and if anything happend its simple piping i can re weld a part in....my only problem was it wasnt stainless so i have little rust on it

good luck
