yo i found some sound clips of the knock off on youtube...not sure if they were of the full exhaust that we are discussing here but it sounds good...and i dont mind doing a lil 'fixier-upper' on this piece for this price...

times are tough man :p

 

yea i had seen those, but like you said i cant tell if its the whole ebay system or just the can, cuz i know there are websites that are selling just the trd style muffler for 130 ish. i wish there was someone that had the ebay system with an aero muffler on, cuz i wanna hear what that sounds like before i spend the money on it and not like it....

 

Somebody always has to be the guinea pig.

 

eh, eff it, ill be the guinea pig as long as you guys can wait till the warmer weather and i get some money together to get it all and weld it up

 

still waiting on that sound clip...

 

same here, i keep checkin back for one, but nothing....

 

here ya go.... "Varooooom Varoooom"

 

Im waiting for the video "to be processed"? Whatever that means.

Here is the link they are giving me

The quality of the camera is pretty bad, but you get the idea that its quiet and has a decent exhaust tone to it.

 

what's that rattle noise when u let go of the gas? is that an annoying sound?

 

____ you and your flip flops...its frekin freezing here...

 

I think Florida is the only place in the US where its the middle of December and its 81* outside and humid as ***** on a hot summer day.

The rattle is caused by the camera. Its picking up weird sounds. The majority of the clip doesn't sound much like the exhaust itself, mainly just how low and deep it is. The only bad part about the exhaust is when shutting off the car, it sounds like a sucking noise. Thats really about it.

 

sounds nice to me, and i dont consider a sucking noise when turning it off bad, but if thats the only down side in your opinion then im getting one!

 

I don't even consider that a downside. I can barely hear it when Im driving and thats all that mattered to me when buying it. With all due respect to those who like their car noisy, I don't and this system does well without noise.

I am noticing though, when going over speed bumps, the hangers where the scuba take would be, are scrapping a bit. Not to worry, as it won't hurt anything, but gets frustrating.

 

ask your neighbors if they have a better camera :p because that rattle kills the whole video

 

word so i got mine in today...and like promised here are some detail shots of the weld work...

the muffler:











the mid pipe:





scuba replacement:









took em in the garage real quick cause its at my p's house...didnt have a tri pod so some of them are fuzzy :p but overall the thing looks good...im going to put a ss strap around the scuba replacement where the hooks are welded to keep them in place and i think it'll be legit...dont know about the hook on the muffler...might do something there too but i wont be doing any of it till it gets warmer here in chitown...hope this helps some folks...for 175 shipped i think this is awesome

 

hmm, might have to check on getting one of these exhaust

 

the welds looks good for whats its worth coz i've seen worse

 

Im still a little hesitant with the gaskets. If I wasn't in such a time crunch to get this thing on for Hot Import Nights, I would have ordered a few copper gaskets for a better seal. I had one of the seals they sent me completely fall apart. But they did send me an extra and Im sure glad they did. I hate exhaust leaks.

 

for reals? i dunno...the gaskets look legit to me...i mean they arent copper but they dont look or feel like they are about to disintegrate..that might be a different story once they get hot :p but i think it'll be ok...i mean that seal isnt going to be under that much preassure from the exhaust...imo...dunno im no expert :p

 

I don't think the gaskets are bad, but they didn't look the best. For what they are, they look ok.
