Default Check out this catback...

Ive never seen or heard about this catback before, but I read the whole ad and it looks legit. Just wondering if anyone has ever seen or used this before.

Looks like a knock of of the SLP loud mouth cat back. Im sure it flows decent but there is no way I would spend over 500 of that exhaust. And although it looks like a LM 1 catback there is no telling what it sounds like. I would stick to a name brand exhaust if you are planing on paying that much especially with shipping.... I would check the GP and sponsor sections on this site, they usually have good deals and sometimes offer free shipping. Just noticed that it doesn't even come with tips

Thanks man I was kind of skeptical especially because of the price, and the fact that I had never heard of it before. I also noticed it didnt come with tips. Thats more $$ to spend on my part

Looks like a stainless version of a Tsp Rumbler to me; which also a bullet style muffler.

Actually it's more like a rip off of the LM2 as they both have baffles in the bullet.

i'm sure you've figured this out by not, but just to throw it out there that company (I believe) is an ebay-only type thing...

Not quite half the price, but yes thats the exact same catback with huge dual tips for a lot cheaper! Ebay is so weird. This is exactly why I am skeptical about buying no-name parts off of ebay...

SLP FTW!

Cheaper, proven, and great sounding! Why spend more on something that doesnt even have a name?
