Located in Vancouver, Canada and it looks to be in pretty good shape

So tempting - it looks barely used. Also, good to know that convertible exhausts are different.

Man it is in Canada. Otherwise I would have picked it up.

I too wish that I had waited it out for this instead of going for the Vibrant muffler.

It would appear that those pics were taken before he put it on the car...Never the less, It's quality stainless so it shouldn't show much wear

If that's $800CAD, that is a total steal for a US buyer... that's about $601 USD.

Hmmm, pictures identical to the ones in Alex's TSE3 sale thread:

Hmmm, thats a little shady.

How do these sound? I would like a deeper exhaust note but I'm worried about making it too loud.

It's about the best sounding exhaust you'll find for these cars. The only reason I sold mine is because I went with catless headers

Oh, It's definitely louder at start-up but it quiets down unless you get on it. I took it on a roadtrip for Christmas on the highway and it was great. No drone at all. Not too loud, unless again, you step on it.

I have this exhaust and love it! Worth every penny. But the seller seems shady. Says 0 posts in his profile.

Apparently the seller bought the ones from Alex and hence he used his pics. He will upload his pics later.


"anandoc, you are right these are not the actual pictures. I actually bought these from him 2 years ago. I'll go take some pictures of it tonight at the shop. But honestly, not much has change, it still looks the same to me."

Damn, that sounds really good! If it was plug and play for verts, I'd be very tempted!

Sold :( I was going to buy it but was waiting to see his pics to make sure it was real.

Oh well. How does this compare to the magnaflow or aFe?

Same - I was waiting for pics, and then he sold it locally. The crazy thing is he was asking only $800 CAD shipped to the U.S.! Would've been an absolute steal at that price.

The TSE3 is louder and less refined than the Magnaflow and aFe exhausts. Plenty of videos on YouTube to get an idea.

I PM'ed him and he said it was $800 USD. If it helps you feel better...

When you say the Magnaflow and aFe is more refined, are you saying they are much more tame and less racy? That might be what I am looking for in that case.

Weird, he told me it was $800 CAD when I PM'd him.

The Magnaflow and aFe are definitely more tame. The TSE3 sounds like you're unleashing hell when you floor it (which is awesome, if that's what you're looking for). It's basically just straight pipes with a few resonators thrown in. The other exhausts actually have mufflers and sound less "raw". They're still aggressive, but a bit more reserved.
