I just got that same exhaust off of ebay a few weeks ago. I like it alot. It fits good and has a nice sound.

Gardiner

That makes me feel better. It's like buying a pig in a poke, don't know what you have until you have it in your hands.

I got mine from ebay, Greddy Evo II axle back. Fits perfect, sounds great, too quiet for me though.

Nice buy! Cheap, doesnt look bad, hope it works out for ya. i am a believer that good buys on ebay are possible as long as you watch ur ****!

Stillen's stuff looks pretty good - not cheap like those other systems. I called them as it was advertised as such that it sounded like it wouldn't fit an 05-06. After calling, it was going to fit, but I missed out.

Good buy - keep us posted.

gardiner, just out of curiosity who did you purchase your exhuast from on ebay. because i read this and was interested in buying one, and saw the same pic as you posted. just trying to watch my ****

Gardiner

I bought it from dsmtrading, he sold one I was watching and then he put another one up for sale. I asked him and he said he had a few of them he was selling. He has another one out there now for sale, item 250024796560. He sells a lot of exhaust systems so I thought what the heck. It is suppose to be here on 9/7, I'll post how it looks and after I install it how it sounds.

From the auction:

You are bidding on a BRAND NEW NEVER INSTALLED STILLEN AXLE BACK EXHAUST FOR A SCION xB. This exhaust will fit all Scion xBs.

The Scion xB is a tough act to follow in terms of quality and bang for the buck. STILLEN has a way to make it even better with the STILLEN Exhaust System. Constructed of aluminized mild-steel with a highly polished stainless steel muffler, the muffler provides excellent power gains, and adds a distinctive sound to any xB. The polished stainless steel tip, with etched STILLEN logo, offers a unique finishing touch, and both provide exceptional longevity and durability to complement the xB. The STILLEN exhaust system gives you great power, awesome looks and a racy sound to your Scion xB.

For those that have it installed, has it affected your MPG or power? I remeber that thread about the magical switch in the stock and that some were allegedly losing power or mpg with after-market.

Just wondering, cuz I dont buy the magical switch theory. Thanks,

Gardiner

I searched on magical switch but got nothing. What is the story?

frogbox

HA HA HA .... ....... magical switch...

Try searching for valve in the stock muffler.

It is there to increase back pressure at lower rpms to increase torque, it opens up for top end power.

The thread it was mentioned in got full of flamers and pretty much got shut down.

I saw the photos on the muffler valve, pretty strange.

Well, it arrived today and looks nice, the tip looks nice. It does not have a removeable silencer, just a good looking taper.

Gardiner

Update- I put on the exhaust tonight and drove it around the block.

Just a bit louder than stock, the tip fits the opening very nice. I think I made a very good choce, I just need to get it on the highway and see how it sounds.

On a side note, that front rubber hanger was tough to get off!
