Speed Daddy CBE+Header Combo on eBay..thoughts?

Dual 3 5" Muffler Tip Catback Header Downpipe Exhaust 03 10 Mazda RX 8 RX8 SE3P | eBay

Found this after playing around on eBay late last night. Great price for all those parts, but am skeptical of the quality. Usually you get what you pay for...but am a sucker for a good deal lol. Has anyone had any experience with the company or actually own any of these parts? I'd like to hear what members here think.

Cheers

what the **** kind of company name is "Speed Daddy"?

I'm gonna patent the name "GIANT *****" and start selling bodykits on ebay...that way when ricers meet up n' talk about cars they can all say they have GIANT ***** on their cars...

I have the catback (hold on and listen) lol
As far as quality goes its not bad. The only not-so-great part of it is the mufflers. But you could easily go and buy two mufflers and get them welded in for under $200 so for a still decent price you could get that. Yes, it is made in china.. but its not terrible tbh. I wouldnt get the headers or midpipe though..just the catback.

Here are videos of before and after. Mind you all taken with cell phone and not great audio quality but still decent audio quality

I just installed an eBay header yesterday and I can tell it improved power and throttle response. Im not running a cat though and I have the Mazdaspeed Ver. II mufflers. Don't knock it till you try it. To answer a question that will be asked- No I have not dyno'ed it yet.

No it didn't. Show us dyno sheets to prove me wrong.

^lmao! I did seriously start busting out in laughter. I probably wouldn't trust one of their mufflers, since I know how hot a rotary can get. I made that mistake with an FC and blew out a muffler in a couple of weeks. But for certain parts that might give me a slight, and I mean SLIGHT improvement I will take them. To each their own. BTW- rickeo you made my morning!

I have had their cat back system for about two years now. they still sound fine ( daily driven, but I also believe in the 9k a day rule) and installed very easily. only draw back is they have started to rust but for the price I would just buy another set in a year. I guess if you tried to race with this system you could blow them out in a couple weeks but if your racing your also willing to pay RB prices for everything.
