Lol I was thinking the same thing the other day when I ran across these on ebay. The shear fact that he is asking that much is crazy. Thats highway robbery at its best right there.

Re: ugliest, crappiest, worst flowing whitetrash exhaust i have ever seen...for $280!
Well first off, I agree that the price is too high. That is a 3" version, but is only for the dual cat models, supposedly. His single cat exhaust is only $180, but uses 2 1/4" I-pipe like stock.
Finally, IF the 3" model were a direct fit for my LO3, and was priced cheaper like at $180, I would consider buying it. However, I would buy it with the sole intent of cutting out the edges on his "T" intersection, and making it a decent flowing Y-pipe between the 2 tips.
I have seen tips like that, and they look pretty good. Also, I love the straight pipe sound.

Re: ugliest, crappiest, worst flowing whitetrash exhaust i have ever seen...for $280!
Well, he doesent actually claim any "additional horsepower". And I bet if it was modified to fit a single cat system, it would sound real good too.
The only kinda iffy thing is that ugly T-intersection he makes to eliminate the muffler.
I know its not a nice mandrel bent system like you guys all prefer, however it's true, I have paid more money for a lesser system at an exhaust shop, crush bent too.

Shoot, sign me up for three of 'em.
I need some more useless scrap laying in my backyard. I've actually seen quite a few Y-pipes made like that on various vehicles, Some people can't figure out the why they call it a "Y" pipe, & not a "T" pipe.

Worst part is he's been listing them (I can't say one way or the other about "selling" them) for years.

With a little creative fab work, you can put the TSP Rumbler on for not too much more...

Cobbled together is about the best you can give it.

It seems to me that the only quality exhaust for a a 3rd gen is one that's engineered to suit the specific application.
"You get what you pay for."
"If you want something built right, you do it yourself."
And I use the word 'engineered' in the most respectful way.

Re: ugliest, crappiest, worst flowing exhaust i have ever seen...for $280!!!
Did you notice the part about how he welded a "diverter" in the T-intersection to "split the flow". It looks like he just tacked a piece of scrap metal in there, to restrict it even more.

Re: ugliest, crappiest, worst flowing exhaust i have ever seen...for $280!!!
Well by definition engineering is the practical application of ones knowledge so I guess what I was trying to say is that its a junky exhaust that is over priced and probably make your car sound like a bag of broken @$$holes. Not knocking on somebody that does something difficult and intelectually challenging for a living

Id like to see if anyone on this board bought one. The guy has 100% feedback and it looks like he's sold a ton of these systems.

There's probably a V6 or 305 car on this board running around with one, I'd bet the farm on it

Re: ugliest, crappiest, worst flowing exhaust i have ever seen...for $280!!!
first time i seen this thing at first sight it didn't seem to bad untill i seen the t (y) pipe, than i was like what the f***, how the heck is this thing suposed to give you hp lol. and for that price, i could make 2 sets of exhausts lol, including muflers. lol i had a hard time understanding just what i was looking at (the t pipe), like where does that go, after looking at it for like 3 mins, i start reading where it says no mufler needed, lol yhaaaaa........., now i know what that exhaust part is for.

Re: ugliest, crappiest, worst flowing exhaust i have ever seen...for $280!!!
Well, if the exhaust is designed for it, no muffler is a cheap way to get both great sound and performance. However, the way the thrid-gens are set up, it would be more beneficial to have a traditional y-pipe over the axle, and then run the pipes seperately.
