such thing as a quality generic "ebay" mufflers
Been reading around and seeing that cheap ebay mufflers arent really worth considering due to being "fart" cans and maybe with stainless steel quality/longevity issues. But is there a generic muffler out there that is well made for $100 or so a can? Or am better off going with expensive HKS, Greddy, etc mufflers that go for $300+ a can?
Looking for that dual cannon N1 look in the rear seeing if my exhaust shop can weld something up if i pick out my mufflers first.

If your trying to save money, look for a good brand muffler on amazon, then check Other Sellers. You might find a open box return from amazon warehouse for half price. The only issue is they are usually universal mufflers, so you will need to add brackets or have it done at a shop

If you want to save money, buy a quality part that is used off NASIOC or Facebook, and then clean it up.

+1. I too think best is to buy a used Remark or Nameless, etc if on a tight budget unless you can fabricate the piping and weld your own axle back together.
One thing about cheap setups is if you live in a salt belt state, it will rust from the metal hangers and welds can rust through. You can try painting it with engine enamel to prolong the life. |

eBay doesn't make mufflers. There are thousands of no name junk Chinese pieces you can buy for cheap that will last for at least a week.

cheapest im seeing is greddys revolution series which if i buy 2x new seem to be around the price of a quality used brand name piece here and on facebook and elsewhere given that ill have to have custom hangers and axleback piping made.
which is why i put the "" around ebay. |
