I ordered this turbo-back off of ebay for $330 shipped from "JDMMOTORZ"

The exhaust arrived ontime but it came without gaskets/bolts and came with a few shipping dings. The box it came in was damaged from shipping. They definitely have shipping issues when sending exhausts...

So... I decided to accept it as I didn't consider them important flaws.

I had it installed and everything fit fine.
The sound is what you would expect from a canister. Nice deep sound that is borderline too loud but is suitable for street use.
It looks nice too. The exhaust is at a nice angle.

Overall, for $330 with a catalytic converter, I am happy.


The uppipe was garbage according to my installer. He said he wouldn't trust it lasting over a year on the car. It came without studs anyways so installing it was impossible.



Here it is installed

I was interested in this tbe as well, are you sure it has a catalytic converter and not a resonator? and on a scale from 1-10 how loud is it?

Yea it's a cat. Loudness scale would be 8 to me. But I'm coming from an SPT catback which was probably like a 4/5 but that was catback only...

its a resonator.

How does it perform in emissions? Would you have to go to a tuner friendly shop to get it inspected? I live in NC, we dont have quite the regulations you have in CA but we dont have as many tuner friendly inspectors either. Looks great though. I really would like to use this if possible. Thanks
