Default Just a quick Test Pipe question

I saw some ebay test pipes for around 68 bucks or so. Are these OK? Supposedly that they are a direct bolt on. I'm wondering how the fit and finish they are.

Anyone have them currently? I figure for under a 100 beans, I could try out something to get a little sound out of the stock exhaust with out hacking it apart.

Who knows who makes them, so a quality assesment would be a guess. A test pipe is a straight section of pipe with 1 bend and 2 flanges. There isn't much to screw up

the berk one is $99 shipped...look for the group buy. i'd spend the extra $30 just to know i wouldn't have any problems, since so many members use it.

the cheap ebay ones break.
the baffling inside is only tackwelded in place, and after some miles, it breaks loose and bounces around inside the pipe.
horrible sounds ensue.

$68 plus probably ridiculous shipping, cheap quality, plus extra for spark plug fouler(s). I would get a berk or invidia.

Thanks. Looks like the ebay Megan ones are about the same as a group buy Indvidia? I'm gonna look for either one of those.
