Was wondering if anyone has tried one of the 5.00 to 49.00 mufflers off ebay. Are they real or a coke can that was painted? Is it worth it for just looks or is there a performance gain.

 

a lot of people will say "Crap, theyre all crap dont get them"
those are the same people that im guessing have never owned one

i do. i got the RS-type muffler and i absolutely LOVE it!
i got a custom exhaust made, with muffler, for under a hundred bucks. i dont think many people can say that. the smartest person to talk to on this one is darren (hotbox05) thats who i got all my info from because hes owned a lot of them. hes a really smart fellow who knows what the hell hes talking about. listen to him

RS-type is what i got off ebay for right at 35 shipped i believe. its awesome!

How do you like your RS type? is it low tone and not LOUD LOUD....can you describe the sound? any feelable gains? Thanks.

according to the butt dyno, it has improved (i doubt if it has but im not sure). its definetly not LOUD LOUD. it has a quiet rumble and does not drone (i have silencer in now). without silencer, if you got on it hard, there was a little drone. but silencer in, it sounds soooooo sweet. i love it. i think it was one of the best things i got for my car

 

love your first reply dont know till you try good rule of thumb

 

I have an eBay muffler and it rocks out loud! It was like 30 bucks shipped and I had the custom 2.5inch piping done at a local shop for like 60bucks and it turned out amazing. Low rumble and roar and sounds like a crotch rocket at 5000rpm+. Excellent for the money and good performance and sound.


P.S. Mine also has a silencer which helps with the highway driving noise.

How about the under $100 coilovers.

 

I would love know what a Flowmaster would sound like on a Scion I had one on my 4 banger truck, and it sounded tough.

 

i've had multiple ebay mufflers on multiple cars only one has gone bad. worth the money

 

how does the sound compare to the trd exhaust? is it much louder? i was planning on shelling out some major bucks on one but this looks to be like a great way to save some dough.

 

hey guys am new here and was lookin for a new mufler for my 05 xB.....do u guys have any suggetions wat kinda shud i get or like were from i get... heres the thing i dont want it like nasty loud... u no wat i mean rit.. not that loud as some cars that jus annoys u ..can anybody help me out with that?

 

Darren can back me up on this.

The RS-Type muffler off ebay is good! Its like $30 shipped or so. I got it and had custom piping all done for $60 from just after the cat, back. I love it.

its not nasty loud. it sounds really good IMO. and if it is too loud for ya, just put the silencer that comes with it in.

its a good buy.

if you retain stock resonator it cannot get very loud or LOUD LOUD as you guys refer to it. loudness can change depending upon sooo many factors . header , piping size , resonator or lack thereof. silencer or open.

 

again, how do they compare to the trd exhaust? i love the look and sound of the trd and the fact that i won't kill the warranty.

 

you wont kill warranty with any exhaust . it will be a bit louder than trd and the good thing is u can get any tip design/length/diameter you'd like

 

awesome. i think i'm ordering one right now.

 

I got this SS one off of RSversion.com like 2 years ago for $79...haven't had anything to install it to yet but am planning to get either a White or Silver 2006 Xb 5spd before the end of this year.

The question is: Is this exhaust toooo big? the inlet is 2.5" and the tip is about 4.5" and it does have a "tuneable scilencer" Will this be ok?
(I'm 6" tall btw).

 

it'll be fine. a large tip but it will work no problem.

 

went ahead and ordered my muffler today. i got a 3 1/2 tip though. i don't like that big coffee can look. now to find a muffler shop to weld it on for me.

i'm sure i'll need some new piping made, but does the length of the muffler make a difference? the one i bought is 16 1/2 inches long and most of the others i saw were 19 or 20.
