Looks like a version of the OEM ehaust hack many have done, and they painted them silver. You can have this done for much cheaper than the $750 plus you're exhaust that they are asking for.

I agree. There were posts describing how to do this a couple of months ago. I believe the cost was less than $200. The ones on eBay are vastly overpriced.

I had got one done by FisterD (do a 6speeder search) and I am very happy with it. He did a very nice job with SS pipe and weld. The muffler has a nice tone and loud enough but not overly

you are getting ripped off if you buy those... do a search on the forum for exhaust hack or something and you will see instructions posted by others...

I just noticed you're in China. Labor must be cheap to do any mods.

Hi Daytrader,

Actually it is more expensive to get thing done in China, they don't go by 'normal' rate when they see you are driving a Porsche (which is 2x US price). For instance, it costed me USD250 for putting on sway bars, but change tires are really cheap - only USD15 for 4.
I ordered a Plenum, stuck in Customs for 1 month - had to send it back to US and re-send to Hong Kong (I am still waiting for Greg of RSS to send out), cost me total USD600 for the shipping cost alone !
