1997 Eagle Talon TSi Bolt-on ?'s

[screamingdemon]

Ok so I've been digging around for awhile on various DSM sites and couldn't really find what I was looking for so I figured it wouldn't hurt to throw up a thread in this section.

Ok so currently I have an all stock 1997 Talon TSi and I'm wanting to do all the basic performance bolt-ons then focus on suspension, brakes, and rims. Then later on come back and go with a 16G setup since I have a big 16G that came with the car.

Here is what I'm looking at so far...

Now I was wondering which eBay exhaust I should get? Don't get me wrong I'd love a Thermal but I can't see dropping that much money on a catback right now when a $200 3" catback on eBay will do the same thing for me right now. Could some of you guys rocking an eBay exhaust post up pics of it on your car? I'd most likely be painting it black anyways but I'd like for it to have the "angle" to it and look nice. Also I'd like some confirmed accounts of which aftermarket downpipe bolted up correctly to the eBay exhaust. I've read here and there of flanges being at the wrong angle and having to have cut and rewelded on.

I've read that the T25 with spike boost and boost creep with a 3in" exhaust. What should I do to prevent that? I plan on running an external wastegate when I get around to using my 16G but that'd just be overkill on a T25.

Would 15lbs of boost be doable on stock fuel system? It's my daily driver so I need it to run right and be dependable.

Thanks guys....

Well the only eBay parts I would ever venture to buy would be exhausts that I had see others use and have good reviews on.

Such as an SRS catback or this one from this guy apparently is pretty decent quality.

If I were to get that particular exhaust I linked above I'd rock it for awhile then pull it off, sand it down, and paint it with high temp black paint. But then again the SRS has good reviews to no rust out even up north so I would really rather spend the $50 more and get it. I wouldn't go so far as to chance it on a random eBay downpipe when I can spend a little more and get a Megan Racing one. Honestly I don't see the a Megan Racing downpipe and SRS catback to be a bad choice fora budget exhaust setup. With that being said unless I get in a pinch for money I may just hold out for the Thermal catback and match it to a Megan downpipe. When I do go all out on a full exhaust I will be also having a bung weld for the WB sensor. In the mean time I may ditch the cat and put a testpipe in its place so I'll have a slightly more sporty tone to my car for awhile.
