i'm not sure of the diameter of the stock exhaust, but if its anywhere near that in the ebay ad, it's pointless.

spend 400 dollars for same as stock is

Wrong the restriction is in the mufflers not the pipe 2.5 is fine for naturally aspirated 2.4 so so for 3.5 v6
cut the 2.5 off and run 3.0 to the y and you will be turbo ready

I'm curious what size the pipes into the mufflers are if they are 2in that is less flow than a single 3in pipe so it would need to be at least 2.25 pipes for me if they are that big I will think about buying one and use the back half I already have 3in from the turbo to the stock y pipe cut it off on the dyno because it was to much restriction with the stock mufflers and gained over 30 WHP turbos don't like back pressure

I CANT BELIEVE NOBODY HAS BOUGHT ONE YET EVEN MOST OF THE HIGH DOLLAR SYSTEMS ARE MADE IN CHINA WITH CHINA STAINLESS STEEL

price is good, and they look nice. Is all the piping 2.5"? It kinda looks like the straight pipe is bigger then the Y piping, but maybe it's just an illusion.

Stock piping 2.25"?

E-mailed the seller and he said UPS picked up the package but might have lost it and offered me a full refund. Sorry guys I don't think this thing exists.

lol, dummies! i told you, guise!

did any one even research the company "racing guys motorsports equipment"?

you'll see in the ebay feed back, that they pull this stunt often.
sell it, but then renege the product.



I told you guise so.

^the company does have bad reviews but a huge majority is good. I did read what happened to me in the feedback but i gambled it anyways.... lol

But.... They insisted that they send me a replacement... I told them the only way I would except the replacement is if they sent me a partial refund of 50 and they met me halfway. lol

Again either way if I don't like it I'll send it back. If I don't get it by Thursday next week I will ask for a refund.

To be continued...
