Default EBAY exhaust on s2k

Not bad for $160.00... as long as the welds and sound is good...not that i wanna buy it i just always think spending $600 - 1000K on a set of NVIDIA pipes is just a waste... just sayin...

i doubt it'll hold up very long, especially with our winters and salty roads. buy good products the first time or else you end up buying twice and wasting more money in the end.

It sounds pretty good! Although, I wonder how the drone is.

I was thinking the same thing..there are a few more clips on YouTube for s2000 ebay exhaust. They all sound pretty good...

Invidia is made in china, so its really not any better than ebay parts.. just more expensive.
Unless something is made in the USA or Japan I don't feel it can demand a premium price.

Just because it's made in China, it doesn't automatically mean it has poor quality.

At that cost, I'd imagine they don't spend much in the R&D department (specifically dyno testing)

Yeah I've heard some in person and sounded like crap. But I also think the fart cannon invidia exhausts sound like crap which some people like. Quality of metal will be poor, fitment also seems to not be very good. Cheap mufflers and resonators fall apart faster.

I agree, but if its made in china/taiwan it should be sold for a low price
too many companies try to sell china goods at made in the USA prices.. Craftsman is a good example of this.. they moved production of most of their tools to China & are still charging the same price they always did.

I've seen this first hand.

I have some ratchets I got from my dad, must be 1970's. Great product still working flawlessly.

The new stuff fails so much I stopped buying their ratchets.

These days poor quality or service can't be hidden with the internet and feedback on everything and everyone.
