It looks very clean.

No name brand but clean. Seems liek without a silencer it would be loud.

Not sure though. You usually get what you pay for and once rust sets in...

I say if you're on a bidget go for it, if not pay for the good stuff. I bought a Strup and sold it the same week because of the noise.

Im getting my Greddy Evo II Friday :D It's supposed to be quiet.

Just so you know the Greddy SP2 is the quieter of the two exhausts offered by Greddy for the xB.

Custom 2.25" piping (not mandrel bends) from the cat back, Magnaflow muffler, tip of your choice, and silencer... $240. I got mine done at a local muffler shop. Best way to go if your looking for a great deal on a catback exhaust.

So you guys with this exhaust . . . How does it sound with the silencer in, say compared to the TRD exhuast. Also, it looks like the cannister (muffler) part of it sits very close to the back of the rear bumper skirt. Is it far enough away to keep the heat from bothering the paint or plastic on the bumper skirt?

Go to your local muffler shop. Tell them you want a magnaflow muffler. You can choose if you want to enlarge the piping from the cat or not. I chose a magnaflow muffler, with the tip of my choice and went to 2.25" piping. Cost me $240. I got exactly what I wanted. I also got a silencer later on due to the fact that it was too loud. They installed that a week later at no charge. Unless you're going to be running a turbo, you don't need anything extravagant. This is the best way to go IMO.

i'll take $109 over $240 anyday (because i'm cheap and my engine is weak). . . But thanks for the suggestion.
