Default So I grabbed a cheap M2/Manzo exhaust

Grabbed a cheap M2/Manzo exhaust from amazon the other and it came in for my 2k GS400. Im not really expecting much since I paid $348 shipped. And Ive been reading mixed reviews on it for some time. Eye inspected when it came came and I was expecting crappy welds and such. Surprised that the welds actually look pretty good....like a roll of nickels. Fitment LOOKS good but I havent put it on yet. Hopefully I can put it on right after my emissions test . Any input or question are definatly welcome. Your take on the cheapo Amazon exhaust?

Looks good!

When you install it, would it be possible to make a couple videos showing off how it sounds?

Would love to see a driving video and a possible revving one if thats okay.

What about the piping size? One site said 2.75 and the other said 2.25

Those actually sound pretty good. I don't know what they have done to the rest of the system or if those are just axle back. My 430 sounds just like that only a little quieter with just the rear sections removed.

How has the exhaust been for you guys? I wanted to straight pipe my mufflers but don't want to lose torque. Did you feel any power difference (loss) with the M2 system?

I think it sounds great for how cheap it is.

Im curious about diameter. On a 2.75 in NA form will you feel a low end loss as I did with the Blitz, C-One and TRD Axle Backs.

in that case do you think there'd be any loss if you were to replace the muffler with just a 2.25 or 2.0 pipe?
