Ebay catback....

[Magic]

Just browsing thru E-bay and I came across this catback exhaust system....
Looks like a Borla knockoff.....VERY SHINY tho!! I wonder how long that finish would stand up??

Know anybody rocking this system? Wondering how it sounds?

No idea, looks like a borla system as you said. The one thing you could do for sure is if you don't like the sound, pull the mufflers out and throw in some magnaflow stainlesses.

those tips look like crap, and with all the slip fit connections, i bet it leaks like crazy...

That definitely looks like Borla, the muffler shape and tips both match. I wouldn't worry too much about it leaking, all of our exhausts are either clamp or slip fit like that... i'm no exhaust expert though. Man those tips look like balls though.

thats a seriously clean looking system. how much is shipping? probably offsets the decent price.
I bought a Tsudo catback from ebay for my civic a few years ago and it was probably the best sounding fart cannon out there and it was nothing more than a chinese knock off of a better company

FREE shipping. seems like a good price for a fully stainless polished exhaust.

a buddy of mine has the c.a.m. longtubes from ebay and its really nice.

That looks almost identical to the Borla setup I had on one of my cars a few years back. Let us know what the fit and finish is like when you install it.

hell flowmaster cat backs are about that same price. but for stainless its not a bad deal i think.

Do the Borla catbacks come in nearly one piece? From the H-pipe connection, to halfway up the axle kickup is one piece on that thing, seems like it might be awkward to install.

I'd still try it though, if nothing else, you get a nice stainless catback to weld the muffs of your choice into.

Yea this is almost identical (like 98%) to the Borla catback....The Borla catback installs in the exact same way....

I'll be changing the exhaust setup next winter when I get the 351W in it.....wonder how that catback will sound with a turbo? Hopefully its still on ebay next winter....I'll be tempted to try it out....

Cars are super quiet with a turbo because the exhaust pulse gets eliminated by the turbine. As long as you have a straight-through muffler, your setup will be fine.

Ive heard various turbo Mustangs with chambered mufflers like Flowmasters or Bassani, and the exhaust note(s) sound different (to me anyways) than a straight-thru muffler like Dynomax Ultra-Flos.....

Chambered mufflers are bad for performance in a turbo application. I've seen this firsthand on a dyno with my friend Trent's turbostang.

Oh no doubt about chambered mufflers and turbo apps....

Trent? TurboMustangs Trent?

Looks nice, too bad I'm in love with the look of no tailpipes.

Yeah that's him. Although now he likes racing quads much more. He just won the whole season in the expert class.
