You tend to get what you pay for, I'm sure exhaust systems are no different. If you want to bite the bullet and purchase it and let us know how it sounds or put a video of it up I'd be curious to see how it works out.

If you are getting the system in the picture, I'm pretty sure that will not fit for the sedan... The muffler system for the rear that is pictured only works with the coupes...

I would only trust the Top Speed system from eBay - and obviously any other name brand system thats for sale.

Not sure how the rear of the sedan could incorporate that type of muffler setup.

The sedan requires a fair amount of modification to run a single canister style setup. Further, this exact auction was discussed earlier. Brad mentioned that if you look at the welds, they're burnished already. That typically doesn't happen until several thousand miles are placed on the exhaust, yet the rest of it is shiny new? I don't think so.

You get what you paid for. The pictures are already suspect, so you could be buying any chinese piece of crap with terrible welds you'd just have to replace anyways. There are precious few things I'll buy off ebay and put on my car. None of them are functional. I buy parts like fender washers and cables off ebay.

I noticed the very shotty welds myself.... I've had good luck and bad luck with eBay exhaust systems. That's why I've been eagerly tapping my foot for Top Speed to restock their sedan systems on their site and eBay.

I don't have links handy, but it's been done... by people who don't carry a spare, or don't mind having the spare sit loose in the trunk, instead of under the panel.

Um...

Actually, now that I think about it, that's not a bad compromise. Personally, I'd love, love, love to have a BORLA exhaust, but they don't make one for the Sedan. I need to file that thought away for the future. I bet you if you put the car on a lift, then slowly lower it on to a floor-supported brace under the spare-bump, you could slowly shape that sheet metal without banging at it with a sledgehammer.

I second that comment on the Borla system... would be nice if they made something for the sedan but once again, no love for us 4 door'ers.
