Hell yeah man go for it. Show these guys that you don't have to treat it like a ferrari its just a upgrade from a DSM. In a few years evos will be known for their crappy transmissions(if their not alreay, I've seen the recals) and reliablity issues just give it a few more years.

I've had the ebay system on mine for a couple of months and still love it. I did have to hammer it some so that it would clear the ACD, but other than that I've had no probs with it.

I believe it's safe to say the Ebay (XSPower) TBE is pretty much a Turbo XS knock-off (minus the resonator). Still best bang for your buck exhaust!

I'm totally with you guys. I bought an eBay exhaust system for my Mercedes SL 65AMG. It sounds totally awesome and I can feel the extra power! It was only $300.00 shipped for the whole system!

You only have to bang the downpipe a little bit if you have ACD. This will fit flawlessly, no hammering, no altering at all with all 2003 EVOs, because we dont have ACD. And also a fyi, this exhaust will clear both cross members under the car, as some exhausts dont. again.

so let's recap:
a) have to bang it with a hammer to make it fit,
b) have to run without a secondary O2,
c) leaks in many cases

wow, what a great buy.
gues i'm a retard for buying my JGT500. i mean, the flawless fit, perfect welds, lengevity, and sound dont stand up to the fact that i cant say that i got it from ebay

its made for 8 with no acd. its got flawless fit. O2 sensor hitting bot of car is just normal for other testtubes too(i had turbo xs and also touched) now running DC downpipe/cat delete and still hits bottom of my car.(getting angled fouler soon)

Ebay o2 housing must be crap too. Then why is buscher using them?(i read somewhere that they recoat and sell same o2 housing)
everything from ebay must be crap. Even evos listed on ebay.
You can get really nice stuff from ebay for half price. Bought imac 50% off retail(brand new) on ebay last year. It must be crap from ebay too.

No one is calling you a retard and not everyone one has those problems. I got my system and I had no problems, no fitment issues, no leaks and the secondary o2 fit fine. I believe the "ETD" ebay exhaust fits the VIII with no issues at all, at least on mine it did.

Stop being so defensive about buying a more expensive exhaust in a thread about ebay exhausts.
