Hey guys! I just wanna know if anybody here have tried buying mufflers from JDM Innovation from eBay??? I'm planning to buy their 'Universal JDM 2.5 Inlet Square Oval Tip Muffler Exhaust' next week for my SC400. I've never heard of them before so I wanna make sure. They have a pretty decent price and review, they also used a T-304 stainless steel for their products (from what I know this is the best kind of stainless steel, correct me if I'm wrong.) Here's a pic btw.

I don’t think it will look right given the current shape of the outlet in the bumper but if you change/modify the shape it just might, that’s totally your preference. Yes the quality of the stainless steel is excellent!

I'm really planning on modifying the shape of the outlet on the bumper. I just think that an oval shaped muffler compliment the shape of the car from behind instead of a circle muffler. Thanks.

I've never heard of them, but I'm sure it will sound alright.

Personally I think that muffler looks awful, there are plenty of other universal mufflers that would look better on an SC.

We'll both find out when I get it. It's kinda like the set up I'm looking for, it's just too bad the seller can't take more pics before I buy them since it's made to order. (I think) But I'll post pics before I install it so y'all can see.

I had these on my car. They're nice, they make your car sound like a 350Z

I certainly wouldn't want my 400 to sound like a 350z...
