    What are your guys opinion? I can get one off eBay for $500. It's a full system, but I believe there made in china though.

    Anyway, I think I may get it for my 3.0.

    What would it cost for a dealer to install?

    Thanks!

    "made in china" is not automatically a bad thing. Couple posts about this exhaust already and I've seen some videos of them installed on youtube. Doesnt seem like a bad buy.

    Pair it with some catless JHM downpipes and do it. You won't believe the difference it makes.

    However, pairing the the stock downpipes and cats with that system won't give much in the line of gains. Just changes the sound of your exhaust for the most part.

    Also, I would buy a proper X pipe and splice it into the forward most portion of the exhaust. It'll run you about another $150, but it should be easy to do and will be worth it for the gains (again, with a catless or even a high flow cat set of downpipes).

    Also, I agree with ZipMeUp's comments. Nothing wrong with a chinese made cat-back. It's not under any real thermal or mechanical stress. So durability and build quality isn't really a concern the same way it may be with something like a turbo or headers.

    Don't take it to the dealership to get an exhaust installed. it will probably bolt on in your garage. Worst case take it to a custom exhaust shop in your area and have them do it. I bolted mine up in my garage, it didn't fit properly so I took it to an independent one in my area and they created a new 3" stainless steel piece to connect to factory downpipe and after that worked great. Cost $65. But if you have them do it all, it will take probably 3 hrs labor. So $180-200, depending on their rate.

    That price is to ship to USA not Canada. It will probably cost way more than you think. Better off getting a exhaust made at and exhaust shop.

    Also since you have so many new posts going about the same thing (going fast) I have to say you bought the wrong car. Start 1 thread and just ask questions there or use the search feature.
