You find it on OfferUp? Wonder why they are selling it. I just saw something similar on eBay. Not sure if that’s it but it looks close! In the description, there’s no measurements listed. Makes me think it’s stock diameter.

here’s the link https://www.ebay.com/itm/175207130981?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=tRyBQqzQSeS&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=7FJqGbLOQx O&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Yea it looks just like that, found this one on kijiji locally for 150 cad. No measurements on ebay would also lead me to believe it's a stock like aftermarket unit

No problem! I was looking for exhaust stuff the other day and this came up. There were also other “companies” selling this same pipe. It’s definitely not stock. The bends look a little different and so does the material. But it’s not an ATLP or RV6 copy like PLM or Tsudo. So I’m not sure what it’s meant to do. Is it purely a replacement part or is it supposed to be a performance upgrade? Good luck haha

That looks like a horribly, VERY cheap knock-off that I would steer far, far away from. Where the 2 primaries merge together is at a 90* angle, which is the worst design when it comes to exhaust flow, you want the two to merge together at the shallowest angle possible for the smoothest flow.
Even the stock OEM J-pipe has an ever-so slight bend backwards; better than the two pictured above.

Unless someone stole your J-pipe, you couldn't pay me enough to install those units above on my car.

That's fair, before seeing them all over ebay I had wondered if it was an early version of some brands j pipe, but I did notice the bad flow looking characteristics. I will def steer clear of this one. Thanks guys!

I'd probably buy it if I needed a replacement and was going to sell it soon. Doesn't look great, but I mean...its $90. So looks great to me for $90.

Adding to the negative comments. The J-pipes in those pics are absolute garbage.
