Ebay Catback... Thoughts? :dunno: Thanks!

Found this cat back system on ebay. I know you get what you pay for, but the price point is so good. Anyone ever heard of or used this product? Any input would be great! Thanks!

2.25 piping is stock piping. so dont expect any gains.
the sound might be different.

and its fairly cheap; although I know a few places that $270 could be better spent

Take it to an exhaust shop. Money much better spent.

How much R&D goes into a cheap product?

I'm just saying, I think they're selling your OEM exhaust right back to you and calling it a system because it looks shiny.

Looks kinda like the Tsudo system but sold under another name and cheaper. Tsudo says it's 2.5" though, cheap eBay listings aren't always known for their accuracy. If it's 2.25" you're better off just swapping the stock tips if you want it to look different.

Are you looking for more show/sound or go? You can make the stock catback sound better dirt cheap and catbacks don't really gain that much power.

I basically want a better note and look, but performance gains are always welcome. I have been looking at the Tsudo exhaust most recently, but am open for suggestions. lol
