Default The customization of an ebay exhaust

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.

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.

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

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.

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.......

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

I thought about boost, but I have a 3 hour commute between college and home, so nitrous is for fitting for my application

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

I have the tsudo and when you look inside the tailpipe, it looks different than the one in the ebay link above.
