    Any feedback on new SS cat backs from China?

    Hi all, any recent installs or opinions on these chinese mufflers? They were all over ebay for a while, my stock muffler has an annoying rattle probably from a rusted baffle. Debating whether to cut up/gut muffler or buy a cheap replacement. Would like a little more sound too, thanks in advance.

    It's the catback IE has been selling for years. I've used it, slightly louder than stock, fitment is fine. Solid cheap option

    Muffler rusts out internally relatively quickly (think 5+yrs), but who owns anything long term these days

      Thanks for the reply!

      I have had my steel one on for like 16 years, see my join date lol. Still holds up just the rattle is annoying. I ordered the above, hope it has a bit more sound and character than stock.

        Too funny, report back in 5yrs and let us know how it's holding up!

            Is your profile location accurate? If so I grew up 30mins from you and have likely seen your car at some point. I was in town often for JMFab, the Sellersville Theater and the Perk for cheesesteak night lol
