Ebay Exhausts....
 
Im just wondering if anyone has fitted these kind of exhausts? they are 3" bore etc but what quality are they? they look ok in picture but i have my doubts any feedback would be good!

Hello mate
I brought one and have it on my car. Its been on for over a year now and no problems its very loud but not in a really bad way. Its a very deep sound that it makes now mine is on a classic.

Cheers James

Too cheap in my opinion. Bet they are really thin steel. I paid more than that for a decent quality cat back.

Richard07 07 July 2011 07:04 PM

yeah thats what i was thinking the welds will crack after a little while

I have been to Cobra Exhausts in Sheffield today to have a Backbox made and fitted for me, I would highly recommend them and im sure they would be able to compete with that price.

anyone got a japspeed 3inch bore full turbo back system?

woodstock 07 July 2011 07:27 PM

i have a japspeed 3'' downpipe on mine, not had any problems with it mate

chrispy200+ 07 July 2011 07:34 PM

I'm pretty much sure they are the same, I look at the pictures and they look the same down to the flexi pipe and everything. Had 2 ebay exhausts now on two cars and apart from the fittment with the downpipe onto the gearbox with the bracket for the money they are great.

the yeti 07 July 2011 09:00 PM

I cant fault mine had a good look at all the welds when i put it on they are good. Its each to there own really at the time i couldnt afford a top exhaust so i got one off ebay and am pleased with it. Now my mate has brought one and fitted to his aswel. He works in a garage and said it looks good so my mind is at ease with it.

Cheers James

We've fitted quite a few of these cheap exhausts that customers have brought in, it's one of those things where you get what you pay for, sometimes they last for ages, yet the welds cracked on my mates within a month. On some the fitment can be tricky but if you're after a bargain they certainly are that

jaygsi 08 July 2011 01:45 PM

Agree fitment wasn't the best but look good quallity, and knowing me i will be changing it in 6 months time so cheap is the way forward lol

53 08 July 2011 02:14 PM

Fitment is poor, but that aside you have to ask why all these sub 300bhp scoobs are running 3" exhaust systems :wonder:

even cheaper:luxhello:

jaygsi 09 July 2011 01:11 AM

worth checking the quality of that

Norman Dog 09 July 2011 11:33 AM

:rolleyes:
I'm surprised anyone is even asking the question, as with anything else - you get what you pay for.

Each to their own of course but I wouldn't have that sh!tty looking flexi up pipe anywhere near my car. :Suspiciou

djandyg 10 July 2011 08:03 PM

I once looked at these ebay systems...I wasnt convinced though, so i looked on their history to find a user that had previously bought one, and emailed that ebayer asking what he thought to it.

he said when he got round to fitting it, it was a really bad fit and had to have it modified...then decided not to keep it so sold it on and bought a proper one

If companys wern't so gready with prices for impreza parts, then most people wouldn't buy cheap systems, i will admit the fit wasn't the best, but did then job. Will be able to give better report in 6 months as not had it on long enough to say either way.

Hi could you send me some pics of the system mate cheers

jtonkins 26 July 2011 12:37 AM

i have one that fitted with no problems what so ever on my02 bug, sounds nice too they are manufactured at same place as japspeed the only downside is that its mild stainless steel which after a while you will get rusty looking spots easy fix tho just get some autosol and clean it once a month bargain imo :thumb:
