Sorry I know your looking for a vid, I dont have one. But, I do have an eBay $70 catback with 4" tip and it sounds like s***. When I rev over 4k rpm you cant hear someone talking in the back seat. And to 7 or 8k rpm it...well its crazy loud. I would never do it again.

It won't sound very good at all. You might as well just pay another $50-$75 for a brand name muffler that will sound MUCH better.

any muffler on stock piping wont sound that good. Twin Loop or another GOOD name brand will sound okay, but ebay will sound terrible. Ifyou want good sound and performance, GReddy Evo2, Apexi WS2, Megan Drift Spec or RS*R ExMag catback exhausts are the way to go. Save the money for the muffler nad just get the catback, you wont regret it
