If I wanted to buy one of these Espelir JGT500, would it be carb legal in CA?

Also, would it be any one of these I found on ebay?

http://search.ebay.com/search/search...500&category0=

Is that a good price?

yes it is carb legal, however they dont make this axle back anymore, but i know that jlb motorsports has 1 left, yes it is the same model as you found on ebay. tusdo also makes a clone of this axleback, think i spelled that right, not quite up to par with the jgt500 as in quality and looks but sounds almost the same.

Well, how hard is it to install one of these? And what is the general price range, what price did you pay?

Also, what kind of horse power would I get? And finally, the sound is nice, is it really loud? Would I get a ticket for that in California?

with stock stuff, its loud ut not ticket loud, mines just louder cuz all my exhuast has been replaced. i think i paid 350 shipped for mine, pricey but really worth it. the hardest part is getting the old exhuast off the rubber hanger, and the new one back in lol

So if I purchase the one from ebay for $360, would I need anything else in order to install it?

Also, the clip also makes it sound a little "rattle" like. Is that this one only or is that all of them? It seems to be less than a "deep tone".

fyi if your getting it off ebay its more then likely a fake or clone, as i stated before they don't make it for the xb gen1 anymore.

and if you read what i said, most lower, or even a little higher quality cameras with video, do not pick up low bass tones, some even filter it out, so your not hearing it the way you should. that "rattle" wont be their.
