Anthing wrong with cheap ebay exaust?

[Whutface]

Wondering if there is any reason not to get a cheap ebay exaust?

all it is is a metal pipe isn't it?

Or is it going to be a waste of money

Something like this

Iuno, this is all I came up with.

I'm pretty sure it'd sound just like you chopped the muffler off your stock exhaust, and added a fart can, but 3 times as loud. Reason being, and the reason people wouldn't recommend it, is because it's 2.5" piping. 2.5" piping is only recommended if you're pushing a bit more power, like an h22. 2.25" piping for stock (intake & header), f22. 2.5" piping on a pretty much stock f22, you'll lose some low-end.

I have that exhaust, but, mine came with a header too. It's not loud at all, if you use the oem cat, if you use the "high flow cat" it'll sound like shit. My car isn't loud, raspy, nothing. I think total, with a header, "high flow cat" all the piping, and muffler, it was, I wanna say like 260, shipped

Holy shit! I just watched that video, mine sounds NOTHING like that

I purchased a cheap ebay header for my cb7. The piping seemed rather thin, but the material looked to be of reasonable quality. It hasn't fallen apart or anything. My biggest gripe is that the bars for the hangers were not really located in the right place, requiring some serious bending on my part. Aside from that, I've been running these for 1.5-2 years without issue.

Not exactly the product in question, but likely comes from the same factory.

I would say watch out for fitment issues. I bought one years ago and it wasnt bent properly. It was ceramic, so they couldnt bend it to where it wouldve fit. I was able to retain the axle-back, but the rest was fabbed at the shop.

Don't listen to people who don't have any experience with these parts and say that it must be crap because it is cheap.
They are made very well, the fitment is as good as any $500-600 aftermarket exhaust. They don't rust; it will last for years, even if you live in an area where the roads are salted daily in winter.
Those exhausts are not THAT loud, but can get annoying on long trips...BUT they come with a silencer and with the silencer it sounds just like the stock exhaust. It takes ONE minute to install the silencer.
It is also a good bang for the buck because the F22 responds well to breathing mods and you can actually feel a nice power difference when going from the stock exhaust to the "ebay" exhaust (60mm diameter)

FYI, those exhausts are NOT 2.5". Their outer diameter is 2 3/8" (or 60mm). The inner diameter is 2.25" which is the perfect size for a stock or lightly modded F22.

im eventually gonna get rid of my fart can and get a exhaust like this.

[JunyAccord]

I bought my accord with an OBX tip and 1 year later it rusted from the inside out. Ultimate Raspiness

[prNonVtec4u]

the only thing wrong is the lack of ANOTHER good Magnaflow resonator and i bit quieter muffer. no personal experience, but if the bends are good, MORE than worth the buy IMO.

2X on everything rexload wrote.

[kouzie]

well.......You get what you paid for....

[benjerman112]

i personally have that same cat back, had it for 4 yrs. but i cut the big can off and put a magnaflow on.

dont tell me i know i suck @ making vid's

[nine_deuce]

I didn't have any fitment issues, don't see any rust, and I live in an area where it snows like crazy in the winter, the salt and shit from the roads don't seem to be doing it any harm, this is the 2nd winter I've had it on.

I say, go for it
