Exhaust

Thanks for the feedback. I am new to this. When you say "charlie chan" are you referring to the general, low priced models as a whole? I looked at this discussion and the name I got was Top Speed. Am I on the right track?

"Charlie Chan" is a moniker that we came up with to describe the slew of good quality, low cost Taiwanese made catback exhausts that proliferate the eBay scene. Top Speed is just one of several parallel brands.

I just put an eBay catback on my car. Cost me 45 bucks to have it installed, looks great, fits great and drones like a swarm of killer bees...not the best. But I have headers so who knows.

TGH; thanks for confirming my suspicions!
Do you guys thing that something like this could help reduce drone?
Dynatech 772-32520 Dynatech Vortex Insert Cones
since it creates friction, the slower you go the less db reduction it gives.

Im thinking of building a custom borla exhaust, buying some of the universal mufflers, some free floe cats, and the ebay headers. cheaper than the 1100 borla wants for the system lol!
sry if im threadjacking
