Ebay mufflers

Hi I just purchased an ebay muffler for my 01 Celica GT AT.
I have no idea how it sounds but it was pretty cheap at $60.
I was wondering if anyone else got their mufflers at ebay.
If so how are the qualities of these mufflers? Everyone says mufflers are just mufflers...It doesn't really make a diiference in which one i chose. I just want one for louder(deeper) sound for my celica.

The one I got is this:

It's supposed to be a copy of HKS Bomb. hm...

Re: Ebay mufflers

Honestly cheap mufflers sound cheap. If you want a deeper cleaner louder sound get a full catback exhaust all a muffler will do is make your car sound like a fart can

Ok I just cancelled my purchase...
A negative feedback... damn!
Oh well better than sounding like a fart can! hehe

Ok! now I need some information on catback systems.
I'm gonna save up for a nice one but I don't know anything. I'm new to this... I saw the Magnaflow and the skunk2s. Skunk2 was about $400-500 on ebay.

And also i found a cheap catback system on ebay:

How is it? Should I just save for a skunk2 or a magnaflow catback?

Re: Ebay mufflers

HP not much of a concern for me although it would be nice to have couple extra HP. I want a decent sound for my car just deeper and louder tone than the stock.

So it's ok for the price?
Whats a dyno slip? It says it's dyno tested and proven... whatever that means...

Well I do care but is the gain really noticeable in these mods?
And it's a GT Auto... even if I get these and it won't even go past the GTS.

It says on this one that it's up to 15 hp...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33630

So is this one ok to get?

Re: Ebay mufflers

first of all if you are serious about your car then dont get anything off of ebay, if its name brand maybe, but you would be better off going to wal mart to get an exhaust rather than ordering some off brand part from ebay. If you get an exhaust you wont see a completely drastic change since you arent racing. I have a magnaflow on my 02 civic si and i love the sound i say go with the magnaflow but please dont slap a ebay exhaust on a car your giving import tuners a bad name

Well I'm not just putting an exhaust on there... I thought the one I gave you the site to is the full catback exhaust system...
I cancelled my purchase for just the muffler/exhaust.
Well celica seems to know a lot about cars...
So for sound go with the ERZ?

Re: Ebay mufflers

the catback will give you a more throuaghty sound...if ur lookin to make your car sound better get a shrt ram intake as well, itll make your motor more throaghty
