GReddy Evolution

Price Paid:  $545.00 from GripMotorSports

Year / Model Reviewed:
2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 5spd

Strengths:
Looks, tip is big and i was worried about how it would look on my car and its great. Higher end power gains. I honestly feel like my car drives better/smoother/healthier than before.
You know greddy is a quality brand

Weaknesses:
tiny bit of low end torque loss but nothing too bad. Hmm the only other thing i can say is a "weakness" is that the system only came with one gasket (no way in hell i could use my stock gasket)

Summary:
So Ive had this greddy evo2 catback on my eclipse for three days now. It is deff a quality exhaust and nothing like the rest. Very deep sound and it sounds bassey. I'm not going to lie i liked the sound of my stock exhaust a lot..BUT the evo2 adds a more throaty sound. I did research for about two months on which exhaust would sound the best for my car and this was the one. My absolute #1 concern was a catback that would sound ricey/fart can/bee in a jar (all that crap). Let me just say that the greddy evo2 catback system DOES NOT SOUND RICEY IN ANY WAY!! and this is the best part.
* Ultimately, if you want a deep sounding throaty exhaust with absolutely no ricey sound, than the greddy evo2 is for you

Strengths:
Quality,very well made.

Weaknesses:
Loss in torque,noise,out of proportion muffler tip.

Summary:
I am very disappointed with this product.The tip is ridiculously to big,and the loss in torque makes this exhaust not worth the money.It is also a little too noisy for me.I am going to sell the muffler section and buy a quieter one that does not look like a cannon.I will never special order anything without seeing it first.

2006 Nissan Altima 3.5L SE V6 w/ GReddy Evo 2

Strengths:
Sound - It's definately bassy at lower RPMs. When you climb up to around 3k it gets throaty. After that my intake takes over so I can't hear it. I've taken it through the city to hear the echo but once again my intake just overwhelmed my cabin. The exhaust is not too loud, not too quiet, definately audible.

Looks - It makes a great look if you have cutouts in your back bumper. When I saw the 4.5" tips when I pulled it out of the box I was like, "Whoa!", but I put em on and it looked great.

Weaknesses:
Tips - Dent easy.

The hangars on the exhaust are rubbing up against the mount on my car so it's making this high pitched squeaking noise. :(

Summary:
I originally went to put this on at my friends house but we basically just rounded off my catalytic converter stud nuts. So I took it to another friends house and we installed it with ease. Came together well and fit perfectly. Starting up was the funnest part.

I've got about 200 more miles until the exhaust is completely broken in. It seems like everyday it gets a bit more tone.

Strengths:
Looks Performance gains SOUND- it sounds deep and throaty Durability Warranty

Weaknesses:
Rattles when going around turns, and in the rain. Its big, and gets me pulled over by the cops alot because its "illegal" which is crap, because they never give me a ticket-if it really was illegal, id get one.

Summary:
My stock system was shot, so i decided to replace it with an aftermarket system. It came down to the apex-i ws II and the evo II. After long consideration, I chose the evo II. Overall it was great. I had to have it installed because most of the bolts were rusted solid on the stocker. I noticed that i gained a little power in the top end, but with a little bit of low end loss. Ever since i pulled out of the parking lot at the muffler shop, it has been rattling against the frame of my car. This gets super annoying, because when ever i go around a turn it rattles. Also, it gets nice and rattly when it rains.. its like non stop.
