Just ordered one for the hell of it. Looks like I payed M2 motorsports or whoever and it's being shipped from M2 motorsports.

Not sure if I am going to paint the exhaust flat black or what yet. Depends on the quality and how it looks.

This is my first "ebay" product" kind of excited because my expectations are not very high. So I feel I can't be let down by much lol. My shift ***** in the past have costs more than this exhaust haha!

I was just looking at this same exhaust today and thought about emailing the seller for the better price of $200 shipped you mentioned. But two of you have tried this already with no luck? Hmmmm. Maybe I'll just have to settle for $250 instead... :-/

Yeah I don't think it is loud enough especially at mid to higher RPMs. Maybe I should get a midpipe =P but I'm afraid it'll be too loud.

man you will love it .... even for 250 bucks its a damn good bargain. i would have been satisfied at 400 bucks if that was the price lol...but for real i was impressed with the build quality and sound for the buck. most exhaust for a piece of crap car cost more then this....welcome to the m2 side of the family

ps i also have paid 250 for a shift **** in my 350z lmao... so i know how you feel

i think i mid pipe would be a bit much for me


i had the exhaust on there at first with no mods...and it sounded good but i thought it could be a tad bit louder. then i did the air box mod and i was pleasantly surprised at the more aggressive exhaust tone just from the airbox mod. its loud when it needs to be and goes away while i am just cruising on the highway. before the airbox mod i had almost no noise at all at highway speeds. after the airbox mod i can still hear it a tiny bit. at full throttle i love the sound

best 200 bucks i have spent in awhile i will try to post a better video tonight of the exhaust with the airbox mod.... i figured out how to use my other camera and it gets the sound 10x better then my iphone.

Installed mine a few days ago, and quality is very good. I however think its a tad loud. I had an apexi worldpsort on my TSX last year and that was quiet compared to the M2. I'm keeping it on for now but I may revert back to stock since its to loud for me. Sounds good but thought it was gonna sound a little quieter.

I have stock midpipe, stock headers and stock intake.

yeah if you think the m2 is loud then you should surely run stock instead cause everything else only gets louder. i thought it was pretty tame myself. but compared to stock its louder but in a good way. but glad you like it somewhat.... i am sure someone will glady take that thing off your hands

Just seems to loud for a Lexus. But thats preference. When you installed yours did you notice when connecting the mid-pipe to the M2 that the 2 holes for the bolts are larger on the M2 flange which kind of pulls the bolts through the hole? I checked doesn't seem like an exhaust leak where that connection is but I was hoping it was which would explain why it was louder than I thought.
