I'm not sure where to post this question so I went with "off topic"...there is a catback on ebay right now.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...&category=33630

Good? Bad? Worth it? Do you think it would be loud? really loud?

Sure, I'd like the MBRP setup, but $500 (or more) for a cat back is excessive to me.

Default ebay exhaust?

I know stuff from SSAutoChrome is generally OBX. I have bought a few items from him. He told me he would be selling an OBX Catback pretty soon. That must be it...

I would say yes, I have never personally seen it. But, that is the one I intend on getting.

OBX's Headers are getting good reviews, it's amazing they are good at such a cheap price. That IS the OBX exhaust, you can take another look at Importshark.com to see it there. Not many have installed it yet so the word is still out.

SSAutochrome likes to do this whole Stone Racing thing, but you can see OBX on the headers and other things they sell.

Mourningstar over on the HP site has one of SSAutchrome's headers.. he has a shop that does work and he swears by them... That is all I need to know. Said it was easy to fit and you could feel the difference.

Quick update. I decided to see what a local shop would charge for installing a catback. Long story short, my wife's coworker's boyfriend is the manager at a local shop, so I went there.

2.5" cat back w/ a Flow-pro muffler. I left out the resonator because I have the 2 cat emissions thing on my car. Turned out good. The car sounds much better, with a deep deep tone but only a little louder than stock. Definately won't attract attention on the highway. Car rev's better above 4K RPM.
If I can figure out how to make a recording, I will and post it, so you guys can hear. Cost me $190 installed, tax included. So I got everything I wanted, relatively quiet, better flow and reasoanble cost.

Color me happy. smile.gif
