so, I was just going to have a ghetto rigged exhaust done at the local muffler shop, but then when my friend told me how they will probably charge me closer to 150 than thr $40 that I was originally hoping for, I decided anything would be a better alternative.

So, a while back I saw that OBX (cheap chineese knock off company) actually makes a somewhat quaility 2.5" stainless steel setup with a steel wool muffler. It seemed to look like a system that would last quite well, but then I found this used apexi unit just now.

Question is, should I get it? The price looks alright, and the location isn't terribly far away, but it is used... also I cant quite figure out if this unit mounts to the stock main cat or to the downpipe?

What do you guys think?

A used Apexi exhaust is better then any knock offs. You would be buying an authentic piece.

Do you want a used Ferrari or a new Kia?

Haha, that's funny as hell/\!

Well, I guess I am going to see how much shipping is!

A good custom exhaust setup is going to cost more than $150. My shop charges closer to $600 for a full dual catback setup.

dude, who bid on this? The point of posting it on here was so that people would be nice and not do that... shit, I knew this would happen, too! lol

I paid the same price it is at now (around 200+) and mine is in WAY better shape, and included a downpipe and cat pipe.

Keep looking around for a better deal, that one looks crusty.

Wow, your shop is a rip off. Over here in Ky, if you provide the mufflers, a turbo back 3 inch dual exhaust for a twin turbo 300ZX is only $180. A friend had a full custom exhaust made, 3 inch from each turbo back.

I need to get working on my cars. My Cutlass will be going away if I can get a hold of this other prospective that I've found.

How does it sound? Loud or mellow? Raspy?

Well, since I've been redoing some stuff, the exhaust is still not bolted up, and the intake manifold is off. (omp removal and harness re-wrap)

Anyway, I will be sure to post a sound clip/ video once I get the car running again.
