I just bought this dual exhaust on ebay in January 2018 for 193.00. I love it, it sounds great and the slip fit instead of flanges made it mount up easily. Unfortunately they sold all 29 rather fast. Only one had been sold when I bought mine 2 months ago

DUAL MUFFLER 4.5" SLANTED TIP CATBACK EXHAUST SYSTEM SLIP FIT

Don't go eBay please. I made that mistake once and sold it some scrub for $200. I literally had to have all of the flanges cut out and welded solid to fix the leaking issue. Buy a used legitimate exhaust, either off here or your favorite for sale site, and enjoy it. If you're hella cheap, get a muffler delete done for sub $100 and call it a day. Best is relative, if you like it then that is all that matters; just PLEASE do not waste your money and time on an eBay exhaust.

Muffler delete is ridiculously, annoyingly loud for a daily driven car with 275ish WHP IMO...

I'm happy with the sound of my $200 HKS replica exhaust with a $100 Magnaflow 11386 resonated X pipe replacing the ebay resonators... No leaks, no rattles, although I did have a crack along one of the welds due to rust (after 4 seasons of winter daily driving in Maine and NH) which the local muffler shop fixed for free - there's no rust on any of the actual pipes so the stainless steel quality is clearly fine.

My fitment is a little off, and the tips stick out more than I'd like and look like crap compared to the real thing. I expect to need to replace the flex pipes as well soon since they're looking a bit worse for wear.

You definitely get what you pay for and there's zero quality control with ebay exhausts so you could get very unlucky and end up needing to have a shop modify it so it fits properly or trim the rear bumper exhaust cutouts if your G is a rusty beater like mine.

275?? Those are some damn good numbers. I was simply stating that if he wants the cheapest of the cheap, and only looking for sound, then muffler delete is the way to go. I hated the way my HKS rep sounded, which is why I got rid of it. And if you think a muffler delete is too loud, you'd hate my car; no cats or muffler, only the stock resonator remains. Just to reiterat, if you like it, then that's all that matters. I'm running eBay test pipes because I didn't want to spend $200+ on a tube with some flanges so I have no room to talk.

Yeah you're right, my car doesn't make anywhere near 275 whp lol.

All that matters is if you like it of course. I like the way muffler deletes sound from the OUTSIDE... But if it's louder than ebay mufflers which i bet it is at low rpm/throttle i would hate to daily it!

I like to be able to get into the powerband and stay there a bit without worrying about getting pulled over and having everyone around me think I'm racing when I'm really just trying to get a cup of coffee or something lol
