Not a high quality one but seems to work well and is lighted.
Had a similar issue with the Clunker. It was about the same price for a complete fartcan catback system for my car as it was just for the resonator/midpipe I ended up buying. (Muffler was good. Cat was good. Pipe between them was broken.) Ricers buy a lot of expensive junk, creating a market for cheap junk.
