ebay exausts nt 2g

[chrisdemara]

i heard lots of differnt oppinions on ebay parts but i just wanted to say i ordered a catback, header,pulley,srut bar set, mirrors, and cold air. just wanted to say that it all turned out really nice works amazing everything bolted up fine. catback all the hangers were fine.
i noticed a huge difference. just wanted to know why everyone knocks the ebay stuff you can not beat the price and it works great

Because of fitment problems and longevity. Sometimes you get lucky and its fine, and sometimes not so fine. Sometimes you order say a 4-2-1 header and they send you a 4-1 header (I've personally seen that multiple times). Sometimes you order a 3" pipe and you get a 2 1/2" pipe. These are some of the E-bay exhaust problems.

Now with that being said, I am currently rockin' E-bay exhaust set-ups on my 2gnt's

Which exhaust did you get?

 

[murray1]

I too am interested in which exhaust and header. I have a Tsudo exhaust and header in the mail so I will post some info on it here when I get it.

 

[chrisdemara]

i can not even express how happy i am i ended up getting a bbp header and bbp cat they fit perfect the hangers all matched i would never spend money on a name brand when i saw my friends dc sport header he got and looked at mine i laughed he spent twice as much and they were the exact same thing just differnt name on it.
recamond to anyone that is looking to do exaust or any sort of upgrades

 

[chrisdemara]

here are some more pics of my exaust before i put it on

I too also have an ebay exhaust, not even a BBP brand, just a no brand ebay exhaust, and I agree, it bolted on very nicely and sounds really nicely too. Of course it is hooked up to a Magnaflow high flow cat and a DC Sports header =)

I ordered tsudo headers and a Tsudo N1catback of eBay and they should be coming either this weekd or next week,ill post pics and a vid when it comes.

Most guys like their no-name eBay exhaust. (I do)

also i bought a high flow cat off ebay and the hangers fit up just right except the flangs were not right they were both streight and in order to fit up to a factory exaust or header one must be slanted!!!! i ended up welding it. the cat is awsome barly a cat tho

 

[loser_635]

so I got the Tsudo catback and headers about last week thrusday i think..or wendsday

and I got only the catback put on,dont ask why,it was alil wierd,and for the axel back part the axel had to be lowered to make clearence for it that and the fact that its REALLY close to the trunk compartment,it rattle abit sometimes(gota fix that. xD). but other than that fitment was pretty precise.

as for how it sounds,its pretty decent,it isnt all high and ricey as I thought it would be and I can only imagine itll sounds better when I get the headers on.

I have a BBP and it not only bolted up nice but the welds are amazing for an ebay part. Just look at the pics in the ads for it they are in no way misleading like other brands on ebay.

hey, i have a n/t 96 eclipse and i bought a 300 dollar intake and the bracket broke so i dont know if im gonna stay with name brand stuff so i wanna put on an exhaust any suggestions?

 

[loser_635]

you could always go to eBay,

eBay Motors: 95-99 Eclipse GS/RS Non-Turbo Header+Cat+Catback Combo (item 370018752257 end time Feb-06-08 19:22:37 PST)

thats an ebay one,which has the catback, "cat" and headers. all for less than what you would pay to get a brand name one.

as for quality its up to you to decide. I myself would get it if I got another 2gnt.

 

[420agstuner]

i have also bought the bbp headers. i am yet to put them on due to the cold weather. from the appearence they look nice. i have also bought a P.I.T. n1 catback exhaust system off ebay for just $135. i have researched this system an i found that retailed for about $350 to $450. the ebay seller i bought it from was deezee. i believe they have more but not at the same price there a little more now. heres a link to one

eBay Motors: Stainless Steel Exhaust - Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 95-99 (item 130066879100 end time Mar-03-08 06:53:16 PST)

Finally received my Tsudo catback and header. Catback is almost exactly as I thought it would be. Header looks pretty good too. The flanges look really tough and the welds although they aren't the prettiest should not be a problem. I am not sure as to how everything fits together and don't know if I will be able to do it for a while(nasty cold up here and I don't have a place to work on it.

It is only a 4-1 though not 4-2-1 like they advertise. I expected this as most ebay 4-2-1 headers are 4-1. Only other thing disappointing is inside where the pipes meet the flange, I am going to try and clean that up.

Anyone know how these Tsudo gaskets work or should I look into picking a new one up for at the block.

Yup, yup. I clean up every E-bay header with the carbide.

How did the headers come out any leaks or anything? how is the longevity on the ebay catback headers?

No leaks for mine (I presume you are talking about where I cleaned it up). As for the longevity, the only problem I have found is that the "slip fits" start leaking.

Where is the slip fits? Also what did you do to clean this up. Were the headers alright? I am thinking of just buying the same as everyone else.

The joint at the header "slips" into the down pipe (as opposed to flange to flange bolt on).

Like I stated before I clean up the inside of the E-bay headers with my carbide bit at the flange because they usually leave some slag or the alignment does suit my needs.

I can see why some people like the ebay stuff and some people hate it, I bought the Tsudo N1 exhaust for my car and it was great it fit well and sounded nice but after a couple of weeks a baffle inside of the silencer came loose and rattled really loud, I sold the car so I don't have to worry about it but I defiantly got a bad one but for those who get a system that has no problem defiantly get a great deal and I would not hesitate to buy another.
