View Full Version : The customization of an ebay exhaust
Blue_TC_Man 01-03-2009, 08:33 PM Ok I had bottle-necking issues with my nitrous so I needed a catback.
I dindt want 2.5 pipe so I found a ebay exhaust with 2.25 for 80 bucks.So I got it and this is it

Sounds horrible right.
So I got a magnaflow muffler and had it dumped right past the ebay exhausts resonator.
and here is it now. I am happy with it what yall think? Total price was 165 for everything.

Kizale 01-03-2009, 09:22 PM what ebay exhaust did you buy? I have been looking a 2.25 midpipe to complete my setup. I already have an s pipe and axle back. For that price it would be worth it.

use microsoft cash back and that cancels the shipping or it did for me
SVicksTC 01-03-2009, 11:49 PM Sounds way better, and not bad for pieceing together an exhaust....
AGTC85 01-04-2009, 12:01 AM yea it sounds WAY better than the first one
Kizale 01-04-2009, 12:22 AM hmm looks like a tsudo, they are 2.5 as far as I k know. Did you measure the inside or outside of the pipe
crush02342002 01-04-2009, 12:44 AM sounds really good........good job
Blue_TC_Man 01-04-2009, 02:34 AM Thanks guys I deaded getting in my car with the original

yeah its 2.25 the magna I put on was 2.25 and so is my dump
BZinn1 01-04-2009, 02:56 AM please get the pipe to the back of the car......your gonna die from Carbon Monixide driving around like that,plus the nice ticket for exhaust not exiting behind the cabin of vehicle.
Blue_TC_Man 01-04-2009, 03:00 AM uhh its called a dump my friend. It is 100% legal in NC as well as it angles the exhaust out toward the side of the car slightly. Many many domestic cars are set up this way
RCZDesigns 01-04-2009, 03:10 AM Exhaust sounds sick, but I personally think it's goofy to have the notch cut out for the exhaust in the back bumper, with no exhaust.
I'd rather have an electronic dump valve right after a turbo DP, then close it back off to have the exhaust routed through a normal turbo-back exhaust.
Blue_TC_Man 01-04-2009, 03:23 AM yeah my screwed up my rear bumper so Im fixing that and closing off the hole
BZinn1 01-04-2009, 03:40 AM Sorry I read it wrong......but looking at your pipes there it is under the cabin of the car....even at an angle it is venting into the car.Just be careful.......
Blue_TC_Man 01-04-2009, 03:43 AM nothing gets in the cbin the way it is angled it just flows out the side
RCZDesigns 01-04-2009, 05:02 AM The rear will look awesome if you fill over the notce for the exhaust. Then just boost it and your set up will be even sicker, lol
Blue_TC_Man 01-04-2009, 02:21 PM I thought about boost, but I have a 3 hour commute between college and home, so nitrous is for fitting for my application
RCZDesigns 01-04-2009, 10:19 PM Commuting is the same when boosted, from what i've read. Stay out of boost and the gas mileage is basically the same, and since your not in boost the car isn't getting any more wear an tear than usual.
Nitrous is much cheaper and alot easier to maintain though
mjonz20 01-04-2009, 10:26 PM I have the tsudo and when you look inside the tailpipe, it looks different than the one in the ebay link above.
CSOCSO 01-04-2009, 10:30 PM now all you have is just a magnaflow resonator???

yeah but on interstate at 80 id be in boost if I went turbo id be sure to make boost as low in the rpm range as possible
now all you have is just a magnaflow resonator???
no its a resonator then a magnaflow SS muffler
CSOCSO 01-05-2009, 03:55 AM what i seen in the vid.. that magnaflow muffler looks just like the magnaflow resonator what i have
CarbonXe 01-05-2009, 04:06 AM Sorry I read it wrong......but looking at your pipes there it is under the cabin of the car....even at an angle it is venting into the car.Just be careful.......
I drove for 3 months with an open midpipe and never smelled anything from the exhaust. There really isn't any opening under the car for the fumes to pass through.
Blue_TC_Man 01-05-2009, 04:17 AM what i seen in the vid.. that magnaflow muffler looks just like the magnaflow resonator what i have
probably similar casing on them

weeloTC 01-06-2009, 02:44 AM is that with a header then i take it, what is the lenght on the muffler, i like it alot
Blue_TC_Man 01-06-2009, 03:13 AM yeah it is a strup header. And I thin it is an 14in body and 20in over all. Check the link I posted it has all the diensions
weeloTC 01-06-2009, 03:38 AM thats crazy its not much louder, my car is insanly loud, and i had this idea in my head but you beat me to it....i need to go talk to my exhaust guy soon
Blue_TC_Man 01-06-2009, 12:27 PM nah man its really loud the video doesnt show that as well. but it was only 20 bucks to get the muffler welded in
