*stay away from beluga racing

brianx42 · 08-25-2017, 03:38 PM

Flex pipe broke now my muffler is cracking beluga is complete trashhh! Warning ]members to stay away from them

Holy large picture batman!

"eBay exhaust", so I can't say I'm real surprised. That's a crap load of rust too for something that's supposed to be "stainless".... But again, I guess I shouldn't be real surprised. How long did that actually last?

Glad I didn't go that route though. I briefly looked at the ebay exhausts before ordering from Fast Intentions. Which still looks the way it did when I put it on.

Sounds terrible but wow that picture is too big man... For real. My phone doesn't doesn't zoom out that far. Scrolling to the end of it was like 5 swipes.

ZeroZeta · 08-25-2017, 04:18 PM

yeah don't think that will buff out.. Maybe JB weld before new exhaust?

Thanks for sharing the warning for the other members!

Yup, I knew someone was going to post something like this. Next time, buy a Fast Intentions CBE. You will not be having this issue.

brianx42 · 08-25-2017, 04:49 PM

sorry! I don't know how to change the resolution of the picture. I'm thinking about getting a tomei as my next exhaust

1st · 08-25-2017, 05:35 PM

Mesh joints...Nuff said. Sorry for the troubles.

cooltoy · 08-25-2017, 06:10 PM

That's why we have Fast Intentions.

daveb91 · 08-26-2017, 07:39 PM

Damn dude where do you live I have that same cat back since 2014 and it is still nice and shiny

Elmo370z · 08-26-2017, 09:41 PM

going cheap is never the answer

Spooler · 08-26-2017, 10:20 PM

Did you drive this thing in the winter? That appears to be some serious rust cause by road salt.

Rusty · 08-26-2017, 11:47 PM

Looks like 400 series stainless. Thin weld, not enough rod in the fillet. Looks like it went through some hot/cold cycling and crystallized. Get it red hot and spray cold water on it.
