Default Feedback: Ebay exhausts

Im just curious if anyone has ever used one of these 200$ exhaust on ebay? I know theres not much, if any, R&D behind these but want to know if anyone has experience with these. Thanks.

I bought one a couple years ago, defnetly never going to do that again. It droned horribly, the welds sucked, the hangers were to big, the muffler on the driver side hung way crooked, and overall it just wasn't good looking either. Plus even though it said it was 2.5" 63mm, it was only 60mm when I measured it. There are a few decent exhausts out there for cheap like the Invidia q300, just get something like that and you will be way happier.

I bought one of these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda...item5ae2262680 which was a good replacement for OEM however I recently upgraded to a Berk 3".

The no name exhaust wasn't terrible for the price and it was lighter than OEM plus it sounded great with little to no drone. Compared to the Berk it was silent but man the Berk sounds amazing at WOT.

I saw a review once, problem from one of these fellows posting above me, and the welds were literally barely hanging onto the cans. In all honesty and after many years of bargain mods on different cars, save the $200 and once you hit $900 you have some amazing choices. LiteSpec is full titanium for 900. You can maybe find a really good J's racing discounted somewhere, hell even at 500-600 you can get a much better quality invidia single or duel.

I would keep the stock over a cheap eBay one.
*shrug.
The stock system isn't bad at all. The only thing I would really want is a deeper tone and swapping out the cans could do that.
