Whole exhaust. Was looking at the greddy muffler but what's the point just doing a muffler instead of going true duels. This is only gonna be short term bc once I get a DD I'm going to go FI and do everything proper

What ebay system are you specifically looking at? I have a brand new. I went turbo last year and installed a e-cutout with the stock exhaust instead.

Ill post the pic when I get out of work but I'm looking at the "HKS replica" but by the company Godspeed... I heard its a little bit quiter than the topspeed but there are also ones that just say "replica exhaust" no actually company that I was going to stay away from heard some people have figment issues and some sound good some sound terrible. Either way I'm adding the magna flow x pipe right off the bat

This is it but there's many different sellers if someone got this and had no problems with good sound I would use the same seller

2.5 vs 2.25 replica exhaust on stock cats
Hey guys I'm trying to pull the trigger on one of these today. I've searched but every post I see peeps have test pipes or high flow cats. I'm going to get a replica (don't flame it's not permanent and I need a quick cheap fix). The real HKS is 2.25 the brand Godspeed which I was going to go with is 2.5. Am I going to lose anything on the low end from loss of back pressure or is the 2.25 really not enough to make a difference? I do have a pop charger may go with a spacer but that's it for now bc I'm going FI by next summer.
Also is there any difference between this two systems? One is Godspeed which is a replica brand at least the other is just a replica of the replica I guess but 100$ cheaper. Which do you guys think I should go with? Also I've seen the no name brand come in 2.25.
Thanks!!

But if it's a quick fix for you, then go for it. The problem is that you never know if you're going to get a decent system or one that may have been put together by someone having a bad day. My passenger side muffler rattles due to a loose pipe inside it.

I'm quoting myself and the previous post to state that this particular x-pipe does not work on the replica CBE. It's too short to replace the resonated pipes just behind the H-pipe. So I would not recommend it. After spending an hour on the lift yesterday, we decided the car was not going to benefit from the x-pipe that I bought.
I'm really pissed that I wasted my money on the replica. You get what you pay for. If you lived closer, I would sell you mine.

Thanks for the reply, I hear ya on not really knowing if its quality or not that's why I'd like to find someone on here that had good luck with a particular seller but in reality it probably doesn't even matter.
I'm on the fence about going 2.25 complete knock off or 2.5 Godspeed which is a knock off but an actual company that makes other crappy knock off parts lol the real HKS is 2.25 so I'm guessing it keeps the back pressure.
Also this is the x pipe that I've seen people use its resonated I don't think the one you got is
And I've seen many people use it and its a straight fix

Ok I installed this replica exhaust yesterday. Omg was the stock one a pita to get out. That took the most time. Install was pretty straight forward and the new system went in easy, I did one side at a time. I did have one problem once I was done....the left side muffle pipe sits lower than the right. So I have I bring it to an exhaust shop and get them to cut and re weld the hangar on one of the sides. Slight exhaust leak from not tight enough bolt but was easily fixed. I like the sound. Sounds more like a race car......overall as far as replicas go, I'd give it a B.

Those hangars are hard as hell to bend. You'd need a table vice and a blow torch. lol
Trust me, I did that yesterday thinking it would work. It doesn't. The flanges are POS and don't line up very well, so the exhaust doesn't hang perfectly straight like.
With that being said, these exhausts are alright for the money. I do like the sound for the most part, but mine was faulty from the get go. I seriously want something else now.

Hks catback replica rasp
Hi I bought some cheapo exhaust online a year ago and the rasp is so bad I'm ashamed to take off fast. I've heard of the magnaflow x pipe helping but also that it didn't. Some say the magnaflow x pipe muffler. I'm confused and I want some understanding. I don't have test pipes just catback exhaust
