      ^^ Ya I figured it was that one. For that price its pretty good. Its a good replacement for any rusted out exhaust.

      Im thinking of getting it and painting it flat black.

        can you provide measurements of the tubes and the tips?

        i wonder why it looks so crappy, tips are too small and far apart maybe?

          I think it has to do with the angle between the muffler and the tip. If the angle were decreased, it would be more centered on the cut out of the rear valence.

            As of now it is quite pointless for me to post sound clips. You wouldn't hear anything. If at any point it changes, I will post the clips.

            Anyways, with all the questions about eBay exhausts, I thought it would be appropriate someone made a semi-detailed post about one of them with pictures. Hope this helps some of you in your decision making process.

              this guy has some pretty good pictures of the more expensive ebay exhaust. now that you have the cheaper one, do you see any differences? is it the same thing?




              was thinking about it, and i think one of the reasons the exhaust looks odd is because the tips arent cut at 45 degrees like the original ones. i think this would help.

                What guy? Who? Link? This is R3V, you KNOW to put links!

                I think the spacing of the 2 tips is part of the oddness, too. Most dual tip exhausts are way closer together.

                  It's really hard to tell from the pictures. It looks very similar....but I couldn't be sure.

                    I recently got the ansa exhaust from azautohaus for about the same shipped price. Not nearly as shiny, but it looks like it'll work. I'll post pics when I finally install it.

                      It looks to be the same exhaust. Perhaps your tips were not welded in correctly and that seller is selling factory blems for dirt cheap. I paid over $400 for mine from carr industries a few years back. They do get louder after the first year.

                        The last installed pic does look like a$$, but the others look decent.

                          I don't think you'd hear anything, but I guess if enough people want me to put one up, I will. I think I'll wait maybe a week to let it break in a bit. see if it changes at all.

                            dude, the link is there, do you realise that you even quoted the link?

                              Oh, haha, yeah...I see that now.

                              I thought you were talking about a member here, not ebay.
