Actually...a good number of people have had good experience with the Ebay exhausts. if its a cheap price, go ahead and give it a try. if its crap, then it wont really matter since its cheap. lol. link would be nice

it looks alright. looks like the turboxs one. i have a friend who is running on some no name brand and it's working perfectly fine for him...let me add that he tracks his car at least once a month also.

if you want cheap, go for it.
the piping is pretty straight also, so you should get some good gains.

i have a buddy with an 03 that has that exhaust. it sounds very good. Deep throaty sound not raspy at all. he loves it. i also ask him about fitment and he said it fit very nicely. it also fits very nicely in the rear bumper. from what i have seen from this exhaust i would say go for it!!!!

What do you mean by this? Getting that exhaust has no bearing on whether you can use a Megan o2/manifold or not. The Megan manifold is on the other side of the turbo, so it has nothing to do with the exhaust you choose, and the Megan o2 will mate to 99% of downpipes out there (if not all). Don't make your choice thinking that it has any effect on your choice of o2/manifold. I also would recommend porting/coating your stock manifold instead of getting the Megan manifold.

Anyway, I don't know why you referred to it as a Devil exhaust or whatever, but this same cheap Chinese exhaust has been on Ebay for years at this price. Maybe someone decided to put a name to it? I dunno. Some people don't mind using it, but you're wrong in thinking that piping is piping. Yes, 3" diameter is 3" diameter, but there are different grades of stainless steel - some rust easily and some don't rust at all. Some fall apart at the flanges or brackets, some don't. Some have rattling tailpipes, and some don't. If you can weld, then you can probably fix any issues other than the rusting.

do it. since you know how to weld you can eventually get a cheap magnaflow muffer or something later. lol.

the one my friend has isnt raspy. it's deep and somewhat loud (not like the RSR GT2 or Greddy TI)

I think what he means is that he'll have enough money left over to buy them.

An exhaust is an exhaust, as long as there is a hole, you're good. : )

yeah i ment id have enough money to buy them, not because of fitment. and i know of diffrent grades of stainless im very aware of that, but i have read from a bunch of people who are running these arent having any problems, and for the price you cant beat it. and if it starts to rust badly i have a buddy who does ceramic coating nice and shiny so problem solved.
