question about ebay catback systems - 3/14/2007 4:05:53 AM    dnask8ter Posts: 15 Joined: 3/14/2007 Status: offline whassup everybody. i'm new to the forums, and to modding cars. i have a 94 accord ex that i'm looking to make a little faster. i'm not sure that i want to dish out the cash for a brand name exhaust here. has anyone had any experience with any of the brandless catback setups on ebay? i'm mostly just looking for some added hp here, but i want to avoid any loud fart can sounding exhausts at all costs. i'd really appreciate it if one of you experienced guys could point me in the right direction. thanks Post #: 1

I just spent close to 500 bucks on a system, but i figure its money well spent because i get a warntee on it. So thats something you might want to consider before you commit to a cheap system _____________________________ 04 EX 4cyl 5AT Coupe Fujita CAI Custom Heads & TYC Tails Apexi WS2 Cat Back Exhaust Front Grill Interior LED rods(7color) 20% Tint TSX Intake Manifold DC Ceramic Header Ralco Light Weight Pullies(In Hand) TL-s Front Sway Bar (in reply to WheelBrokerAng) Post #: 3
