If you buy one off ebay make sure they specify it uses 3" piping. I got mine from the seller liveonspeed, works great.

you definatlly dont want to make your 240 sound like a civic so i suggest not going too cheap i did that with my last car and it didnt sound that bad but it didnt help hp wise. But thats my opinnion the best way to get a good product for cheap is through hook ups im slooowly gettin those so ya just shop around and talk to ppl about it you never know who could help you out

A list

dont mess with eBay when it comes to these things...
1) catback exhausts, theyre usually knockoffs (you can tell because theyll say something like "GReddy style catback exhaust")
2)Cone air filters, they usually suck about as much air as an old man with emphysima
3)Mufflers, usually they will again be knockoffs... very bad knockoffs
4)Coilovers, some guy in central america probably hand crafted them with a plastic spork in a sweatshop... ive heard bad things bout eBay coilovers
5)Motor swaps, sr20 rb25 you name it. You never know whats missing, broken, or damaged when it comes to used motors imported from the big pond.
6)Wheels and tires, more specifically tires, your life is worth more than the 20 bucks you saved buy buying them from some guy in central america making cheap knockoffs
7)ANYTHING that says JDM, Its a ploy, make sure you know it is JDM not just one of the random phrases they throw in to sucker you into their auction

Thats just about it for now till i think of more
