Good Deal? DP + CatDelete on Ebay $160???

Please check this link, and let me know if this is a good deal?
It looks to be manufactured well,
I would be the kind of guy to go with a Megan instead of an HKS anyways, so what do you guys think?

good for the money, or just a waste of time?

thanks.

with it being a full 3" piece, my main concern would be fitment over performance. Best to just save up some extra $$$ and get something well known IMO.

so, from what i've been hearing, a 3" DP has problems clearing? Some say yes, some say no.... does the flex section help? should i just get a 2.5" instead to avoid the headache?

....so much to learn....

exhausts are all about the same, no major differences from one to the other. For everyone that is about to b!tch and complain about my post 1st bite me 2nd this guy probably wants to save some cash and buy this rather than a $500 hks. The difference in "proven HP" doesn't justify the difference in price. my .02

Gentleman,

IMHO way to much money is wasted on exhaust pipes. An exhaust pipe's job description is to pass gas from the front to the back with the least resistance to flow. (small pressure drop). Titanium is overkill and thin wall half inch pipe is under kill. Selection should be based upon size, tuning goals and loudness.

Having said that, the fitment and alignment are the important issues and I would strongly recommend sticking with one of our vendors here. We have several with years of experience designing and fabricating exhausts reasonably priced. Plus they will still be in business when you have a problem. You may save a few bucks on Ebay but when the tip of the exhaust melts your bumper, the money saved will be of little importance. Just a thought.

Speedlimit....

Yeah great tip... just change out everything you can for whatever eBay part you can find!

Spend wisely... you don't have to buy expensive JDM parts if you dont want to, but atleast spend money on parts you know WORK correctly and dont have problems with fittament or reliability.

There are plently of cheap, reliable options for exhaust equipment.
