Default Magnaflow exhaust for cheap "new pictures added"

Anyone seen this exhaust yet? It looks like a magnaflow but there selling it for cheaper by not advertising the name brand?

UPDATE 11-05-08

Finally my Magnaflow catback arrived today... the install was pretty easy other than this exhaust is for MY00-05 and I have an 06. But I was able to fit it enough to clear the tunnel and crossmembers and I'll be going to my local exhaust shop tomorrow morning to have it welded up/aligned instead of using the provided exhaust clamps. Oh yeah I'm running a testpipe as well... fly bys and in car video to follow, sense this isn't the best example

So I went down to my local exhaust shop, they adjusted the tips a little. Then I came back home and tinkered with it untill I was exhausted... ha get it! Well they turned out pretty even, I also took a scotchbrite pad to the mufflers to give them that brushed look. Heres some photos along with an in car video, again not the best quality but you get the idea... enjoy!

I have magnaflow mufflers, the connecting pipe that connects both of them and a test pipe. The previous owner did this while I just put in the test pipe. Overall the sound is good, with the exception of 5000-6000 where it sounds like a farting civic until it hits VTEC. That's not even that great of a price. They do look mean though!

Well I just ordered the Magnaflow catback from Performance Parts online, and clicked on the "found a lower price/we'll beat it" and ended up getting it for $525shipped! So I hope it sounds comparable the Comptech being they use the same mufflers. I'll post video sound clips once I receive and install it, pry around Wed/Thur next week... Cheers

I was thinking of taking a scotch brite pad to the polished stainless magnaflows to give them a brushed look. Would there be any draw backs in doing this like rusting or any discoloration???

My first exhaust setup wast to cut off the stock mufflers and simply have magnaflow mufflers welded in. That can be done a whole hell of a lot cheaper then $525. I think i paid $75 (included tips but you could probably just reuse your stock tips) and then it was 100 bucks to cut and weld.

It should give you a similar note (if not the same) and be a lot cheaper...
