Ebay Test Pipe???
Looking into getting a test pipe and ran accross a few different ones on ebay, for very reasonable prices. Now whats the experince like for you guys with the ebay no brand name test pipes?? I know a 3'' pipe is a 3'' pipe, BUT i am worried about the flange weldings, and i dont want any exhaust leaks down the road.
So give me your guys experiences with these pipes...thanx

I used to have a 3" resonated test pipe. It was like $25 and it lasted just fine. I've known people with ebay exhausts that have lasted years. I'd stay away from ebay headers but besides that it'll be fine

make sure of the following and u should be good to go:
1) Stainless steel tubing
2) true 3'' ID tube
3) 2 bolt flange design that fits oem cutback/downpipe
as far as exhaust leaks, as long as u use a gasket (I would just use the stock one and spray it with that copper gasket adhesive) then u should be good.
save ur money and go for it

Ebay exhausts can be pretty good, but probably not as well made as others. Sometimes the Stainless Steel they use is not high grade and will literally rust or burn through down the road. Not all Ebay vendors are the same. Not all Ebay exhausts are the same either. There are some good ones.

So the best choice would be to...........COAT IT.
