Has anyone tried ebay downpipe with flex section

I currently have an aftermarket downpipe in my car. I dont know what brand since it came with the car. Its a solid pipe with no flex section. I have an aftermarket manifold and O2 housing and want to buy a downpipe with a flex section to help prevent cracking. The only two aftermarket downpipes I found with a flex section were the megan and one from ebay.

Has anyone tried the ebay one? It looks identical to the megan one and is way cheaper so I dont want to spend the extra fifty bucks if they are the same thing. I know vendors have tested O2 housings are they all seem to be the same.

Becareful With Ebay crap.....Just because it say name brand or says just as good as name brand doesnt mean it is....If I was you I would pay 50 dollars more just to have the feeling of knowing that you have quality on your side.

i have had this downpipe for a little under a year. i have never heard it clunk or rattle. flex joint is still holding up with no leaks after a lot of abuse (frequent removal of DP). it fits perfectly with my 02 housing and stock donut gasket.
it is not as lightweight as the buschur one, but it does not need spacers for the under bars.
