Question Too good to be true?

So I'm looking for a good exhaust for me 09 LT and I want it similar to the OEM GMPP as possible..so I found this site, but I don't know if it's too good to be true. For that cheap opf a price.

05-10 CHEVY COBALT EXHAUST - BOLT ON - (ALUMINIZED - 2.5 IN)

And 2 questions:
It says
"$255.00 Vibrant Round 6 Inch
$255.00 Borla Standard 5x8 Inch
$255.00 Magnaflow Round 6 Inch"

wtf does that mean


AND

Do you guys think it's a good exhaust?

Do you guys think that it's just as good of quality as going with a True Magnaflow or Vibrant, etc? Thanks

Keep in mind, this is an aluminized mild steel exhaust compared to an all stainless steel exhaust.

If you drive your car in the winter in TO, the salt will rot the aluminized system off your car in a few years, the stainless will last much longer.

Worth triple the price for stainless? Your call there........

The three mufflers listed are just different muffler options. The GMPP muffler is a Borla muffler iirc

god dont even think about getting this exhaust. the bends are horrible, it hangs low, the design has major flaws, it bangs on the axle, bangs on the springs, and plastic, its too short so it will melt the bumper, and it will rust like crazy, also the flange is **** too. its cheap for a reason and i took several pictures to the company to show them the flaws and they blammed me for having an aftermarket body kit yet my ss/sc was stock when it was too short and melting the bumper.

I bought just the piping kit, and mine fit perfect. It was a little short but I just got a little longer of a tip to make up for it. Idk about the exhaust kit they make, but the piping kit was worth it to me.

I thought this was an amazing deal until I read the couple of posts before mine about the terrible quality of these exhausts. I'll pass.
