Question regarding MRT Axle-Back Exhaust V2.0 (2010-2013 Camaro V6)

[camarozzzz]

Found someone on Craigslist selling them for 300$ used.

They got them from this site:

http://www.************.com/

Are there any problems I should look for when buying used car parts of this type? Anything I should ask? Anything I should inspect? Or should they be just fine?

They have told me that they are in clean working condition, anything I should look for that could deter me from buying? Or would they be just okay.

Thanks again everyone!

Well...that is weird. It won't let me post a link to the site I got them from...

find out how used they are, why he's selling them.
and I heard that the 2.0s are raspier. if you want more of a rumble and back fire. 1.0 is better.. just saying

I currently contacting him and asking how many miles/ and how long they were on his Camaro for.

I asked him how long he had them in use - just waiting answers now.

He told me that he is selling them because his wife complained about their noise haha. Apparently she didn't like them...

Hmmmm good point. I am looking more for that old school muscle car sound - definetly want to avoid sounding like a fart can Honda blasting around.

The v2 has a deeper tone. v1 has is a little louder but not as deep.

Go with the 2.0s

2.0 with magnaflow resonated X pipe in place of your stock H pipe.

now im not sure what kind of muffler the mrt is, like inside, but when ones like flowmaster get old or damaged they can have a rattle. but you can find that out by just shaking them and see if anything is damaged/lose inside the muffler.

That is very common with the cheap alumized steel Flowmasters mufflers. The corrosive gasses and fluids in your exhaust will eat right through that stuff. About six months ago I saw a Flowmaster muffler that had been cut off of a Mustang GT after about 45,000 miles and you could see straight through. The baffles inside were completely gone.

At the other end of the spectrum is 304 stainless steel. This is what premium brands Borla, Stainless Works, ARH, Kooks, and MRT use. It is an even higher quality material than the 400 series stainless that comes on the car from the factory. You will not have corrosion issues with 300 series stainless. It will last longer than the car.

Any idea what Magnaflow uses? lol Of course, their design is not chambered...more like perforated.

They use 400 series stainless. It is the same stuff your stock exhaust is made of. Should be good for 100,000 miles or so depending on how harsh the environment is.

In that case you have no worries.
