Hey. Has anyone bought this catback or used something similar? I am just wondering if it is worth it? It is a good investment to put on our tibby's? Thanks

with 98% feedback? clueless as to why those auctions are still up. i don't know what the deal is with this and if you can trust this auction. i'd say it's a hit or miss.

as for the exhaust itself, a motoria, it's the best exhaust made for us. people argue a true apexi is, but those are rare and very expensive and it's much more worth it to get the motoria.

as for the catback, it isn't a catback but an empty pipe or "test pipe" and you will fail emissions without a real catalytic converter.

I have this one!
But whit header the sound is so loud.
I modify it whit a Hi flow cat, 2 glasspack and Dynomax Super Turbo muffler.
So you can have a custom exhaust for that price...
But the quality is pretty good...

The catback it self is good quality, sounds ok, made by Motoria except its 2.25" not 3", just don't use the "race cat". But the feedback rating of the seller is a bit low, up to you though. Import Shark used to carry these but i don't know what happened to that.

feedback isnt bad. this is a catback exhaust hkc.. it just comes with a test pipe also..

you shouldn't install the test pipe.. not just for the fact of emissions, but it will sound like complete crap..

these catbacks are decent, but nothing special. there have been people that had these and they just kind of fell apart. others really like em.. you can't go wrong for the price though. they are 2.25" not 3" though.

just don't expect a very nice quality product. they are MUCH better than stock though.

i would add another resonator to the exhaust if you get this though, otherwise itll be really loud.

its FOR SURE 2.25"

and you don't need 3" for turbo anyway.. 2.5" would be enough, and 2.25" would be fine on a low-mid boost setup

ive been hearing you dont want to go lower than 3" for turbo. I would think 2.25" is too small and will restrict the flow.

Whoever told you you don’t wanna go lower than 3” is an idiot. and im pretty sure you didn't hear that on here as about 80-90% of turbo guys on here are running 2.5"

2.25” is not to small if you have a low-mid boost setup. i wouldn't just recommend it for no reason.

Do some searching online and there are some general calcs for when you would need to go bigger exhaust (hp wise) I think its like 180whp for 2.25” exhaust or something around there

The thing that is going to restrict the most flow on the exhaust system is your cat, the resonator and muffler. Unless your going all out FULL DRAG with no muffler, no cat, no restrictors, ¼” is not going to matter

if you get too big of an exhaust, its going to be bad.
