Cheap STI CatBack for Brian...
 
OK, it isn't a Megan Racing, but it is close...

It looks like one of these is up every other day or so, so no reason to pay the buy it now, and only $35 shipping compared to the $99 to $120 on other sub $200 ones...

You can't build one for that little much less in stainless.

36 negative feedbacks in the last 6 months...

...but Dean's got a point, you couldn't come close to that price on a catback, fabrication or otherwise. I think I went $270 out the door on mine, and that was with a great deal on a muffler that already had a flange and tip and mild steel piping. S-Squared did the fab way back in the day when they were in the old old shop in Rancho and gave me a screamin' deal on the labor.

Most of the negative are whiners from what I saw... The vast majority got what they ordered fast. And looking at previous sales of this specific item, I couldn't find any negative for that item and they went for right at $175, so $210 delivered is a damn good price for a stainless catback.

Looks like it hangs considerable lower than OEM or other aftermarket set ups. Not a big fan of how it fits at the bumber or the angle. Could just be the angle the pic was taken at.

That's how most JDM catbacks are. Matt's Invidia looks nearly identical actually. I personally don't care for it either, but like I said, for the money, at 3" throughout... I'd possibly be swayed. ;)

It looks like it didn't sell.

Humm?

Dean 2005-08-02 09:53 AM

They have the same one up for sale every other day or so... You can search on a couple words from the title to find them...

NevadaSTi 2005-08-02 03:07 PM

Should I get one of these? What do you guys think?

Kevin M 2005-08-02 03:34 PM

Well, the price is definitely right, but if you don't like it you'll want to replace it. However, as cheap as it is, you would probably not lose much money selling it used later when you pick up a turboback.

Dean 2005-08-02 03:54 PM

What the hell... It will definitely be less restrictive than stock, and probably sound better. Worst case, you cutl the muffler off and try something else with the remaining Stainless pipe in place.
