Default Ebay Y-pipe.... Not to shabby.

Just got my ebay ypipe in and installed it and i have to say im happy with it. Especially for the price tag ($75 shipped) I rate the fitment 7.5/10 and sound 8/10. It made my 3in topspeed (w/o test pipes) a tad louder with a tad bit less deep of a tone. still very deep though.

only complaint i have is the flange where it bolts the the muffler side (not cat side) seems a lil short in length. I had to pull both pipes together then put the bolts in. No biggie though.
And yes yes i know its no where near the quality of a motordyne etc but my car is a 03 base with 135k mi.... its not a race car and not keeping it forever. This ebay pipe did exactly what i wanted it to. Make it a tad louder with a hint of higher note and was very inexpensive and probably gained a HP or two. And the best of all?? It was only $75 shipped

Why Diss e-bay you got a great deal and who is to say it will not be as good as a name brand. I have had great luck on many items on it.

Look at it this way some one has found that they could make it cheaper and with the same or better material by what ever means they have and some times you get over runs they off load.

Good for you as much as you got what you wanted and only time will tell but for the smiles per miles you get enjoy.
