I started out with this exhaust and it worked great for the price. Only reason I still don't have it is I did some custom exhaust work and fabricated up my own piping. Still using the muffler though. love the sound really deep raspy tone. Remove that silencer and get rid of it .

It is just a cat back from what I can tell.

Here is a link to a really nice down pipe to complete the system. http://www.punishment-racing.com/punishment-racing-3-downpipe-for-eclipse-talon/

 

[Tommy's]

thanks man. appreciate the help

I would recommend getting something that doesn't get rid of the cat. Just for emissions. RRE makes a down pipe for that. Get that down pipe and a test pipe then switch it off for emissions. Then a cat-back to finish.

 

[Tommy's]

for emissions? what do you mean?

 

[goodbuds]

Florida dont do emissions.

 

[jpmxrider489]

Ooops. I just tried to help without looking at that. But you can get a good downpipe and ebay catback.

I think the prices for exhaust is high. I dont see the need to pay 400+ for pipe.

 

[Tommy's]

jpm its all good man.. i forgot that some states do emissions....think maybe i should just buy a tip and take it to a muffler shop?

I had a megan turbo back exhaust, sounded decent, sold it all except the muffler, had a shop fab up a full 3" turbo back with very few bends, and kept the muffler, sounds pretty mean, I get old school V8 guys complimenting the sound. The custom exhaust was less than $400 Cndn. Look into a muffler shop first, you'd be surprised the kind of deals they can swing.

I have the same exhaust im selling for $300 shipped. If you are interested you can pm me.

 

[jpmxrider489]

I would just take it to a muffler shop and buy a tip or muffler. It'll be cheaper.

I have this system and it sounds and looks awesome. I have a full turbo back exhaust. But when needed for smog, i swap my dp out for the stock one with the cat. As far as a muffler shop goes, it would be a great idea, just youre gonna pay a couple hundred dollars for the muffler then another couple hundred for the piping, if 3 inch probably more at least it is around my area. In the end youd pay the same. Honestly i think the megan racing exhaust is better quality and is all mandrel bent so no kinks in the system, not sure how well muffler shops can do it like that.

Edit : not sure why its so cheap for you guys at the shops, around here the guy wanted like 500 to do mine plus me buy the tip. I was trying to go cheap, but it was gonna cost more in the long run. And this guy does exhaust work for diesels!! Op, i would call muffler shops first and see what they would charge for some work like that before buying anything.

Think i paid a touch over 200 for my entire 3" exhaust. Its all ebay and bolts up fine.

 

[Heartless]

I have the same exhaust on my car, paid $170 shipped off ebay a few years back. Sounds great but without the silencer in its louder than no exhaust or any of my friends 3"

 

[Sir Joke]

same setup on one of my cars, its pretty loud and deep sounding... Cops don't like me, .

 

[jpmxrider489]

I paid 200 for my exhaust off eBay. Although my buddy used to work at a exhaust shop and they charged around 100 for the exhaust. Thats not to bad.

How can it possibly be louder than no exhaust?

I have the same exhaust and it's honestly not that loud compared to some 3" exhausts I've heard.

You also have to take into account the size of the turbo you have makes a difference on how loud the exhaust is.

 

[Tommy's]

I'm bout to head to the local muffler shop. I'll let you guys know the $$

I bought my megan racing muffler off ebay for $79 shipped, then a local exhaust shop charged me $307 for turbo back and that included a high performance flex section

Honestly I have no idea but I had my car beside my friends with no exhaust and you could hear mine over his, that includes idle and a 6k launch through 3rd gear. Maybe somethings different about mine????

Here just buy this muffler
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

then go on down to the muffler shop and have them make a one piece 3" system. Here is what it should sound like.
