Default Anyone actually have / had the eBay exhaust?

Does anyone actually have the eBay exhaust on their car?
Which seller did you buy it from?
How is the fitment?
How is the sound?
How long have you had it?
Any problems?
Pics/videos would be sweet.

I had one on my '06 Focus and loved it... it rattled a little and was a little off as far as fitment (not the tip, but the midpipe was against one of the heat shields), but it sounded real nice and looked pretty good.

Yes, I recognize that a lot of these exhausts are knockoffs of knockoffs of knockoffs, and they're not going to be 100% perfect... but I can't justify spending $300+ on a piece of pipe (at least not unless it's for my RX7). All I want is a little sound and something that looks better than stock.

I did search, all I found was threads of people bashing it without any experience to back it up. If you bought it and it sucked... I want to hear about it. Tell me why it sucked. If you bought it and like it, tell me why it doesn't suck.

Thanks in advance.

Well I dont have one for my tC but I bought one for my Integra and love it. Sounds really good. Also bought the header too at the same time off of ebay. Fitment was near perfect. Shop said they had no problems. So I would imagine it would be ok for the tC. The shop should be able to work with it if the fitment is a tiny bit off. I would hope they could anyways. The only thing that didnt work out for me was the highflow cat I bought...wasnt the right one. They sent me one for something else...but by shop was willing to weld it in for almost nothing just to make it work. Id say buy it that way you can be the one telling us all how good or bad it really is. I agree with the whole cant justify spending $300+ on some piping and a muffler. I found a site for a little cheaper then normal and its just piping with your choice of 3 different mufflers.....http://www.mandrelexhaustsystems.com...EXHAUST/Detail
Still almost $300 but cheaper then most out their. I mean you can get the one with the Borla muffler and instead of spending over $500 buying from borla you get it here for $255. I think the Borla is the best deal. Hope this helps. But I still think you should buy the ebay one and do a right up on it of some sort. Ill be watching......

Ah yeah, I know about TruBendz (now Mandrel Exhaust Systems). They were the first place I checked
