My statement was aimed more towards new brand name products not used personally I would rather have new shit fuck used you will never know what the product has been through.

Oh yea and the idiot who is saying he can make an whole catback for 200$ and actually have it be good and sound good…LOL make 1 and drive up to Bings meet with it hanging and falling so i can see this.

^ Monsterous? When it comes down to it, if you’re willing to spend the bones, good for you, its your money you can do what you want with it. Basically separates the people with extra money from the people who really need their money/value their money.

^^ Thats BS I value my money but Im only putting the finest parts on my car cuz Ive learned the hard way cheap is CHEAP. and just cause you have brand name parts it doesnt mean you have extra cash flow (rich kid). alot of ppl grind 9to5 save a ton of cash and even work two jobs just to get the high end shit they want/need.

lol. nice argument. I paid $500 for 3 inch turbo back custom made w/kakimoto muffler. some brand name just must have…other are just expensive item. the problem is most knock off/copy is badly made…

- HKS FMIC pipe? nah…
- HKS bov…1G DSM will do 😃
- ggreddy down pipe? the one from bings will do. I have one 🙂

$29.99 x2 theres your fancy duel tips you can put on a rain catcher angel

then go to speedy and pay them cash to weld you up a fancy catback with no mufflers or resonaters. Called them today and asked, they said shouldnt be more then 250$ for it

then go back to ebay and pick out whatever jdm sticker you want for your sweet tractor sounding exhaust. easy as that.

But really if i was rich id totally buy that exhaust. end of story
