alright i have a 2004 350z, bone stock. Im looking to buy an exhaust. I dont have the money to buy a name brand exhaust, but ive been looking around, and ebay has cat-backs for 360. Any downfalls? other than the H-pipe? heres the link..

Nope, no downfalls. Replica is for sure the way to go

Welds are better, no leaks, no drone, last longer, look better.

 

That exhaust is pretty loud (to me anyway). Fitment is ok, it will need some tweaking. I've installed that same exhaust (I think by the same Ebay vendor too) before. My advice would be to keep saving for a decent exhaust. BTW, I noticed that was your first post. Welcome to the forum, these guys are going to beat you up pretty bad for asking that question

 

who knows, i dont think anyone has ever bought a knockoff like this in the history of this site. There definitely isnt hundreds of posts on here about the positives or negatives about it or anything. Hell id buy it just because its shiny.

 

as much as I am a hater against the people who buy the xo2 exhaust because I have the hks one I am going to admit that this is worth the cost. I bought my hks exhaust for 1600$... it is literally the same exact thing as what you are looking at, but my exhaust is full titanium, yours is stainless steel. This is maybe a 10lb difference, if that. Good luck on your search, but i think you found a steal, go for it !!!

 

I didnt kno the hks was full ti

 

sweet thanx for that vdemon!! btw, your Z is sick!!!!

 

Is that the Speed Daddy exhaust we have heard so much about?

 

I bought the cheapest hks replica on ebay, the one that does not have the cheap looking burnt tips. Install was easy,all that was needed was a torch to heat the passenger side muffler hanger and a pry bar or pipe to slip into the muffler to pull it down away from the bumper.

As long as you dont drive it in the winter I wouldn't worry about it rusting. Besides if it does you can still buy four more for the price of the "real deal". Money spent on name brand quality parts should be turbos, engine builds, tuners etc. As long as it is mandral bent and sized properly for your goals, its just tubing.

 

fail on my behalf. I need to correct the fact that the HKS is not full Ti, it is stainless steel as well, just with Ti tips

 

turbo xs exhaust are pretty cheap and sound good as well.
