Ebay Exhaust?

Okay, I dont want the usual "all ebay stuff is crap, youre a retard" responses I want the truth from people who have actually gotten them. I have a link to one similar to the magnaflow one and I really want it. I just wanted some feedback from you guys as to how they are. I bought my intake there and was very satisfied with it, so I am not too leery, but I have gotten screwed on previous parts for previous platforms so i know its hit or miss. Heres the link, I have an LS if that helps http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-...item3a5903fddd

i would say no, odds are it's a "universal part" which means it won't fit very well, and they don't show the welds very well, it's just a prettied up picture. don't expect much gains for $110 thats all i'm saying. i strongly believe in the saying "you get what you pay for."

Bet heres the thing, I know a lot of people who have bought similar exhausts from similar companies but for different cars and they were fine. The welds held and they performed great. A lot of exhausts out there you just pay for the name, whereas these guys build them off an exact product (in this case the magnaflow) so they dont need to do their r&d they just build copies of the other one. I just dunno, I just wanted to hear from someone who has bouhgt one of these before to see how they sound/perform

Thanks for that link it seems a lot more reliable. I just wanted some advice and I appreciate the input. Which is a good sound and not too loud/ quiet? I want the high flow magna flow but the borla seems nice, which is better?

they took them off, but they were up there. I saw it on ebay and I thought it was a pretty good deal, with the custom mendrel bend pipes with your choice of muffler borla, magnaflow, ect. (Im not lying!, they really had some up on there a little less than a month ago)
