ebay muffler problem...

[dahveed]

so i bought an exhuast off ebay, but its not long enough. do i need to buy an extender or something? i,m sure its an s13 exhaust, it just doest reach the catalyzer

[darens13]

how far away is it from the "catalyzer"?

[ashibah83]

is it cat back or axle back??

[dahveed]

a littlle less than a foot edit? the ebay listing said catback. what is an axleback? ps im on a ps3 right now

[ashibah83]

axleback is from where it bolts together near the axle, cat back is from the catalitic converter back, are you sure you dont need a new cat too?

[dahveed]

i dont think i do... does this sound like an axlebaxk ?

[ashibah83]

if you only need a foot or so, no its a cat back, i just dont understand how it could be so short, could post a link to the sale page?

[dahveed]

i dont know how to copy n paste on a ps3 browser, but the sellers name is ap1ap2, its the one with theburn tip

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Ok dude, ashibah83 was just being an idiot. It is NOT an axle back at all. He was just messin with ya.

Are you sure it's an s13 exhaust? Post a pic so we can see.

[silvia_ks_69]

haha another satisfied ebay exhaust customer

[darens13]

is it this onehttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...71685

[ashibah83]

i wasnt trying to be a douche, i was curious how short it was, no a$$hole intended

[dahveed]

im not able to take pics right now, ill post them when im at home edit: yes daren its that one

[darens13]

they could have given you the entirely wrong exhaust i guess, the sale page didnt say anything about needing some sort of extension or any other part(s).

[dahveed]

im pretty sure its the right one, the hanger locations are spot on...

[darens13]

well in that case i would shoot them an email and maybe see about returning it and getting a refund.

[livinglegend2100]

can you fit a test pipe in between the exhaust and the cat?

[simmode1]

Damn... I've never heard of someone being so thoroughly pwned by an ebay product... GL on the resolution, OP...

[dahveed]

a catalyzier is not supposed to be welded onto a muffler, is it not? because on my old stocker, the cat is welded on... and just so happens to be the amount of distance that is needed...

[SirSilvia]

if the hangers are right where they need to be then that means the tip is too sunken under the bumper and that would make either a nice black soot mark or burn/melt the bumper. that sucks though man. you can hack the hangers off and move them then put an extra piece of pipe after the Cat. buying a whole cat back you should NOT have to do that. I say refund and get a better one, no need to have all that hassle for something that is supposed to fit

[lizmo]

geee, Ebay and problem couldn't imagine what could be wrong.

lol....

seriously you got taken by junk.

i bought a megan exhaust (i know a "cheaper" brand) brand new shipped for $260... you shoulda atleast bought a name.

[dahveed]

LOL ahhh i suck so much, cant even put on a damn exhaust :-(

but yeah, the catalyzer is supposed to have those little gasket things on both ends? the one with the bolts on each side? sorry,i dont know all these terms. im pretty bummed right now D:

[livinglegend2100]

maybe you could take it to a muffler shop and have them cut'n'weld one of the pieces so its long enough. thats probably what i would do

[Nvkreationz]

lol^^it looks like they replaced the cat with a universal one so you would need a "catylizer" or something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...Parts

[ashibah83]

from the looks of it your catalitic converter is still attached, hence the length difference, on ur new system you have a resonator and a straight through muffler, you need to either transfer your cat or buy a new one or a test pipe

i didnt notice that in the picture. so you need to either: transfer your cat to the new exhaust, buy a new cat, buy a test pipe.

/thread

[dahveed]

i'm dumb! i think i'll just transfer my old cat onto the new one. BUT if i were to get a test pipe, it would just be bolted onto the spot where the cat was previously at?

[livinglegend2100]

yup you gots it.

[Nvkreationz]

yes

[dahveed]

haha and i was ****ting bricks and whanot! thanks guys.a test pipe is universal, is it not? just the right diameter?
