Hey guys,
Just bought a "Auturbo cat back exhaust system" off ebay for $480 odd and i just thought i'd share my experiences with you guys and anyone considering buying this product.
First impressions where good, this system looked like what you would expect from a more expensive system as far as neat welds and blemish free stainless. I then removed my old system (Stock)and began to install the ebay system up to the already present 3" s/s i had fitted when i did my turbo upgrade. At first everything seemed to fit very good and it wasn't until i got to installing the mufflers/tailpipe section of this 4 piece kit that i realised this was not going to be a "perfect fit". After a bit of stuffing around i had the whole system bolted together and began going around tightening all the nuts, it was during this process that i realised the tail pipes did not sit in the middle of rear bar exhaust cutouts and where in fact not even straight and no amount of adjusting mounts etc was going to fix that. This was going to be a job for the exhaust shop. My next disappointment came when i started the car only to hear the noise everyone dreads when installing a new system, thats right an exhaust leak!!! WTF. It was coming from the Y pipe where the 1 pipe splits into 2. I contacted the seller but have received no reply as of yet, I am going to have to take it to the exhaust shop on monday and have the leak welded and the muffler/tailpipes altered so that they come out straight. Apart from that i am happy with the exhaust note that comes from this system and once i get the leak fixed i will upload a sound clip for people to listen to.
