Default anyone running ebay turbo exhaust?

i need an exhaust for my 93 Civic Hatch... been on a serious search for something that isnt ----, i dont want noise... if this ****** sounds like a Honda i will part it out. not joking...

they got some shinny pos lookin exhausts on ebay they are like 180bucks shipped... which is cheaper than i can find a DIY kit with no ------ muffler or resonator..

any of you ******** run one of these? opinions? ricer noise? quality? or find something better/cheaper...


no open downpipe comments, not an option, and it has nothing to do with noise/police/whatever...

2 1/4" inlet, so you'd better think about that because I'm sure your DP isn't that small not too mention it bolts to your stock cat.

i have a CX... stock cat is mounted on the exhaust manifold (HF manifold style) and has LONG since been thrown away...

i have two 3" 3 bolt exhaust collectors in the garage waiting for this project (one for DP one for exhaust) and i will be putting a 3" flex section in also...

i noticed that right off, and dont care, it WILL be cut off...

I have had 2 of the Tsudo/Tenrai systems from Ebay. They seem to fit well and neither have fallen apart yet. For what it cost me it wasnt worth my time to do it myself.

local exhaust shop can probably make one for you for about 100 bucks.

I just bought a piece of 2 1/2" straight pipe that was 10 feet long. Had to make 1 angle to go under the gas tank and out the corner of my EF.

i put a tsudo catback on a friends accord and put a header on at the same time and it had a mellow tone not like a lawnmower or your typical mexi-ricer sound.. i liked it
