As I mentioned earlier, I'm on a ebay shopping spree. I ordered a wing earlier, and now I'm looking at a few other mods.

If you have experience with any of these, or maybe you've seen them on the forum, please mentioned it!

for around 170 you can get the full exhaust that has that muffler...you should go for that!!! a bunch of us have it and are please with it...

AndreyCo

I would love to hear how it sounds...can you upload a video somewhere?
How much of a difference in sound would it make if I just got the muffler part of it?

cincinfocal

no sound clip...but they are up on ebay...ive seen them....i dont think it would do much if anything if you just got the muffler...you need to get rid of that scuba tank stat!

Skyfish

Here is a Video of the Full Ebay Exhaust. Video does not do it justice. Have herd it in person and sounds pretty dame good. (This is not my car but another member of a car club that i know)

Pardon my ignorance. What is a scuba tank?

don't worry I said the same thing when I herd the name lol.

The scuba tank is a very large cat and resanator mixed togeather. Kills and holds back the xB big time. Def worth getting the complete eBay exhaust than just the axle back that will do nothing for the xB.


The video I posted above is of an xB with the complete eBay exhaust, from s-pipe back. Def well worth the money!

AndreyCo

Well I dont care too much about performance, I just want to have a deeper sound from the exhaust. Will the axelback do that? Plus it looks like a lot easier to install than the full exhaust. I dont want to pay anyone more money to get it working.

Any comments on the other items I have listed?

I purchased the vinyl door sills- they are just a sticker. I thought it would be thicker but it is not. It has held up since I installed them almost a year ago. I would not have purchased it if I knew how thin they were.

I installed a different rear bumper protector. It was purchased on eBay from Deland Toyota. It is an actual molded plastic piece. I highly recommend it.

EPIC_FAIL

I'm sorry. DID SOMEONE MENTION...........EBAY!!!!!!!!!

WELL HERE I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AndreyCo

Could you post a few close ups?

ocotillo

Do you want the bumper protector, door sills or both?

AndreyCo

I'll take both, thank you

ocotillo

Let me try to figure out how to post pics and I will.

Yup! I have the same molded plastic bumper protector as well, and am very pleased with it. Very easy to intall - it comes with 3M tape on the inside of it and it has raised ribbed lines on it. I just found the center rib and lined it up with the door latch after cleaning the bumper real well with soap, water and then alcohol rub. It's saved my bumper from many a scratch and has held up beautifully. I rub it down with some of that plastic trim spray once in awhile to darken it up, and it looks nice while hiding the few scratches I've managed to put in it (better it than my paint!)

I think the door frame sticker looks nice, but I have the lighted door sills in front and don't know how they'd look just installed in the back. For a cheap mod, they look pretty nice though.

eBay exhaust is garbage. Worst money I've ever spent.

Everything else looks allright but stay away from the exhaust. You might have to pay a little bit more but it's worth getting something that actually has a brand name (eBay one doesn't) and good quality. I learned this the hard way.

Don't make the same mistake.

AndreyCo

I think I'll order a bumper protector & the sticker door sills. My wing came in yesterday :-)

Did you get the full exhaust or the just the axle back?

xbean

I got the full one. I'm ordering a Tanabe exhaust tomorrow to replace it.
