no but watching how's it made i think it's a lot louder! for using it you only have to cut off your silencer and make a 2" to 2.5" adapter

Looks a bit gash, but cheap is cheap! I prefer my cherry bomb, but thats mental loud. That will be a bit quieter (you should always be able to see cleanly through a backbox btw.

I hate DTM tips... just a personal thing.

Post a sound clip though... for that price I am interested to hear what it sounds like.

Last time I bought a cheap ebay muffler it was for a civic and it sounded TERRIBLE.

Here is my new DTM style exhaust that I bought from eBay. It was $32. My last muffler (not stock) sounded like crap especially after the last autox. When I picked it up you could hear chunks moving around inside not to mention that the pipe going in had cracks and everything else..

It is a lot deeper and louder, almost too loud for my taste so we will see if it grows on me or not. But at low revs it sounds really good. I know I have a leak and it is a little crooked but this is just a preliminary video after I have been driving it for a couple weeks. What do you think?

Not bad, too loud for me though. That's louder than my 3" exhaust with no cat, no resonator, and magnaflow muffler.

If you think that is loud you should have heard it while I drove it to the auto parts store without the muffler lol.

^I have a youtube video posted of my car running open header while I was replacing the exhaust mani gaskets. Car sounds like a harley davidson.

I have a DynoMax and at idle I can't hear it. When I accelerate......I can hear it. It is low and throaty. But that sounds good too.

If you really want a good sounding exhaust that doesn't make sound like a Japanese import but a German muscle car, look at the Remus universal exhaust. They are reasonably priced and it will sound good for years. I'm buying one next month for my 318i.

CarGuy, it has been a couple of weeks since the install....how do you like it now? At only $34 I bought it also and its on the way fyi

ok here are some pics and i fixed the leak so here's a new video. I paid 32 for just the muffler. After driving it around and after the autox it is much quieter and less raspy. I can actually drive on the highway without having my ears bleed lol. I still prefer the 6cyl sound but this is what I have to work with for now.. Its not too bad and my friends who have a turbo miata and an rb25 240 love it. I'm still not completely sold on it because it is really loud, but I am getting used to it. As long as I can keep it under 3200 rpms its definitely ok.

I tried to get the camera further away but the mic on it is really sensitive I guess.
