Any audio clips of IE/Ebay exhausts?

[StereoInstaller1]

No, only the muffler is the same. It has gotten far worse in the last 20,000, BTW.

Mine is single 2.5" on a "free flow" cat, all ghettoed together by the PO.

Soon to be yanked!

I have 30k on my IE copy from ebay. I'm running the stock cat with a MM engine. It is VERY quiet compared to other exhausts. I love the sound and never hear any drone.

Luke, what cat are you running? and are you sure it is the same as the IE/IE copy?

[StereoInstaller1]

maybe yours is defect due to poor quality control? are others having the same problem? everyone seems to agree that is only a bit louder than stock.

Hmmmm...any of those guys have 80,000 miles on theirs?

metalix1021,

So you bought the one from ebay for $299 sold by CROSSOVERANDOVER? And he's out of the e30 exhaust?

No, I bought the one from ccis99, and he is out of them.

Well, he got back to me and apparently I was sent an exhaust for an e36. He has no more e30 exhausts either.

He agreed to refund my money and also pay for the shipping back to him.

Kind of a happy ending.

luke are you saying the ie/ebay muffler gets louder and louder with time? like how many times more than stock? is it the sound deadening inside that gets blown out?

This is loud. As in louder than some cars I have heard with no cat at all. Full on "cabin drone" except that my sub controls that pretty well acoustically, then drowns it out when I turn the stereo on.

My wifes car has a Bosal, which is now rusted out. Her car basically has no muffler and is still half the loudness of mine.

The cabriolet that I am working on right now has the "Ebersport" catback from Eberspaecher, and it sounds amazing, but too quiet for my taste.

That is what is gonna go on my wifes car...OE+ kinda thing, but very quiet.

Sure looks the same, doesn't it? $60 shipping, so $180 to your door? Not too bad, but I bet they have the same "loud as fuck 2 years later" that mine has. Might not be so bad on a stock cat, but mine is LOUD.

That thing might fit if you wrapped the ass end of your car around a telephone pole!

Probably not the look you are going for, eh?

GL on that shit. What is it for, anyway?

eBay seller sent me the wrong damned exhaust. How in the world is this supposed to fit? I mean...come on.....

Trying to get this resolved with the seller.

in the ad it says:

2" all around piping
oval muffler and 3" tip

it also says axle back.......i'd be a little worried unless you can get the seller to send a few pictures rather than that one on the ad
