Default Pro Tuning Lab Cat-Back Exhaust

Hey I am looking for a Cat-Back exhaust on a budget and I came across an exhaust made by protuninglab.com . It's very cheap and is making me have second thoughts about buying it. Does anyone have any experience with this exhaust and could give me a decent review on how it sounds, fits and what kind of performance gains you had?

This looks like the same exhaust sold on Amazon and ebay for about the same price. I am also curious as to fit, sound and reliability (snow belt).

I am a believer in quality and that you get what you pay for. One local guy in the GTA has a Z with a 'budget' cbe. From a far it looks ok. When you get up close to it, you can see the poor workmanship and sloppy fitment of the cbe. Plus the sound is not as mean as the higher priced exhausts. The Z is a beautiful vehicle, not a cheap vehicle by any means. I suggest that you hold off on the budget cbe and wait to order something of higher quality. Or purchase a higher quality cbe off of the used parts section of the forum. Good used cbe's come up quite often. Good luck.

A used quality catback is a better purchase than a new topspeed/beluga/ebaygarbage catback. I'll bet all of these low priced ones come from the same place. Hell, it's probably the same kids making all of them.

If you are on a budget, I highly recommend invidia. Its an actual company and will actually fit. I have a buddy with the invidia gemini on his 350z with art pipes & XYZ resonated, and it sounds and looks great. I'm sure the 370 version is similar. Not sure about actual gains but if you are looking at a $400 exhaust I doubt that is your goal anyway.
