Weird brand exhuasts
Weird brand exhuasts
I've been looking at some exhuasts on ebay, and there are some weird brand that I have never heard of. Like this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HIMOT...QQcmdZViewItem
And this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KYO-M...QQcmdZViewItem
And this Greddy Evo is really cheap, makes me wonder:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GRedd...QQcmdZViewItem
I really want to get an exhaust system, but I don't have five hundred bucks to toss around. I was thinking Megan exhuast, but then those popped up. I wonder if anyone knows if they're any good?

I know they're all the same, kinda. But I don't want to have a super ricey loud exhuast. I live in a neighborhood of oldies, I don't think they'll appreciate it. I lik ethe sound of a Greddy Evo, kinda quiet but deep. Is the Megan one like that too?

Anyone who would try to deceive you by selling Greddy Evo "Style" exhausts with 100% genuine Greddy stickers will try to deceive you on everything else also.
Scammers come in many styles. Some outright steal your money, but the majority try to sell you a simulated gold plated turd.
Ask yourself, Why are they so cheap? How can they be so cheap? whats the difference from a real Greddy, Apexi, Spoon, DC etc...
If it is half the price, there is NO WAY they are the same quality. The real companies are in a fight to the death with each other, but they won't sacrifice quality. They have not all banded together to steal your money. If they could reduce thier prices by half, don't you think they would have just to take their competitors business?
Whenever I have bought something like this, I have always, repeat, ALWAYS regretted it. I have resold the crap back on ebay for half what I paid and chalked it up to experience.
Example: (one of many before I learned) I bought the OBX "Moroso Style" oil pan for my B16 motor. Figuring, "I know it's a copy, but it's just sheet aluminum, so they have to be the same." It was crap. I sold it, unused on ebay for a loss and was glad to do it.
Just my opinion, your mileage may vary.

Which one are you talking about??
Yea, I know that the cheaper ones do suck. I heard this kid's exhuast in the third floor where I work, it was so annoying. However, I don't have like 600 bucks just to spend on exhaust. I was thinking about Megan, it has a decent reputation. The other brands that I listed are kinda out of nowhere, but if anyone know about or have them on their cars, share the experience. I am just looking for a exhaust with deep tone kind of quiet sound.
I always thought that Tusdo made crappy exhuast systems. But how about the sound, is it deep and quiet? I am not really into the super loud sound where people can hear you coming from miles away. Just want a nice rumble.

Exhaust is not exhaust. Pipe is pipe, but mufflers and resonators are not all created equal. Mandrel bent helps, it isn't necessary... we're not dealing with mega horsepower. Large diameter without a turbo is dumb. No backpressure causes a loss in power. 2.25" or so is about right. Light... well yeah.
