Well I will say it is not the first time I have seen first hand(not internet tales) about Greddy problems. I myself along with a freind had mass problems with the profec e01 and boost spikes, he also had problems with e-manage ultimate(he was the 3rd consumer in the U.S. to actually have the product).

 

So what kind of savings would you get from a custom exhaust that is mandrel bent compared to buying a catback for $400 off ebay?

 

consider about 400 bucks for a name brand, or close to 500. i just got my mandrel bent exhaust for 128 bucks at a local muffler shop. 80 bucks for the piping/labor, then 40 bucks for my resonator. its 2.5" too. it looks and sounds great, and can easily feel the difference from that tiny piping i had stock. id recommend going to a local muffler shop and getting custom.

 

Go custom if you're on a budget. You won't notice a difference.

 

How about the actual Muffler, Should I buy one on ebay and then have the exhaust shop do the piping? Have the exhause place get the Muffler?

Also, what should I be looking for in the muffler, I don't want anything really loud as this is a car that is driven long distances.

 

Are you sure it wasn't a greddy clone?

 

Anyone? Should I buy the muffler off ebay or have the exhaust shop use one of theirs?
