What exhaust do I have?

[DSM IN MN]

My dad bought me this 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T from a dealer auction and he noticed it had a stainless steel exhaust. I realized its a turbo back, about 2.5 or 3inchs...no CAT (which is why my check engine soon light comes on)...

So I took as many pictures as my camera could hold (at the moment).. Please tell help me out because we are buying manufacture decals for the side of the car, and have room for one more..

Here are the pics.

looks like a chrome apex-i N1.... I HAVE IT TOO... ITS A TURBO BACK 3INCH EXHAUST SYSTEM... I MAY BE WRONG THO...!!!

Well from my knowledge and from what I put on my own car, only the can on the Apexi N1 is chrome, the rest has gray paint on the piping so i'm ruling this out.

 

[BLINKY619]

actually they do sell them chrome on ebay.... got it on my cousins 99 gst...!!!! ill try to take a couple of pictures... it also has the plate on the bottom APEX-I...

ok i stand corrected... if his doesnt have the plate then it may not be the n1... my cousins and mine do...!!!!

 

[natertater]

[BLINKY619]

no!!! not a fram!!! not sure on exhaust.

same thing i was gonna say... since when do fram filters come yellow...!!!! i dont blame him... theres a thread in here somewere that states why not to use fram oil filters.... it shredded apart and messed up a dsm'ers car... but he got a brand new motor paid by the company... lucky him...!!!

One of those $150 eBay specials, like this one:

1995-99 ECLIPSE GST CATBACK EXHAUST SYSTEM (item 190320565753)


If it were authentic, the mounts would actually FIT your stock hangers:

It looks like an ebay turboback to me.just my 02 cents.

 

[idkiliketurbos]

Yeah my guess is just a generic ebay exhaust. If it were megan it would have the brand etched onto the can. And apexi has the plate on the exhaust.

Hey I have one of thos cheap ebay downpipes and mine fits to the rubber hangers...
Someone must have not tried hard enough to hang it right.

 

[JMiller]

Yeah looks like an eBay special, I have the same catback on my car in 3in piping.

Wait wait wait.. I keep seeing catback.. There is no cat, so how could the exhaust be from the cat...back?

From where the downpipe ends, to the end of the muffler is the catback.
Your downpipe eliminates the cat.

Alright.. Still a tad confusing but, ok!

So in other words what everyone is saying its a POS ebay exhaust? Or its just off ebay? Thanks.

BUMP! Need to know if its good or be looking for a new one...

 

[Zdrummer15]

I use an exhaust system off ebay and it works fine. They aren't all a POS. I would use one before an Apex'i system because the resonators on the Apex'i aren't really 3" inside. It's just piping so there's no reason to replace it now. Unless it rusts through, just keep it, the brand isn't that important on an exhaust system. By the way, bumping isn't allowed.

looks like a chrome apex-i N1.... I HAVE IT TOO... ITS A TURBO BACK 3INCH EXHAUST SYSTEM... I MAY BE WRONG THO...!!!

Isn't the apexi exhaust a grey color? Every one I seen is except the for the muffler, looks like eBay exhaust wich isn't bad by any means, eBay exhausts perform just as good as name brands

Did you trip on your way into your car because you said "oh crap!" haha

I have an Apexi N1 and mine looks and sits a bit different. I does look like its just a knock-off Apexi N1 design muffler, doesnt mean its a bad exhaust though. It could sound worse, would be nicer to know what it sounded like at higher-rpm. Take it more than 3,500.

 

[dsmdeliveryboy]

There is nothing wrong with it being Ebay, you just pay less and have some fitment issues occasionally which are still cheaper to get fixed than buy a name brand exhaust. Sounds good though, would sound better if you replaced all the resonators with 3" piping

I always have a bad back so getting up from kneeling on the ground wasn't the best feeling...
