The first exhaust seems pretty good... only issue I could see is fitment. Other than that, a 3inch pipe is a 3inch pipe. There also doesn't seem to be too many bends/curves so it seems like it will flow good. So no matter if you pay 200$ or 1000$ you are getting an exhaust.

I would not mess with ebay parts. They are cheap and will probably explode after a few hard pulls.

I will go with the age old tale of

"lets say you're driving along the road with your family. and you're driving along...la li la... and there is a truck tire in the middle of the road and you hit the brakes. EEERRR! wow that was close! now lets see what happens when you are driving with the other guys brake pads. you're driving along, driving along and all of a sudden the kids are yelling from the back seat, ' i gotta go to the bathroom daddy!' 'NOT NOW DAMN IT!' TRUCK TIRE! EERRR I CANT STOP! HELP! THERE'S A CLIFF...AAAHHH! AND YOUR FAMILY IS SCREAMING, 'OH MY GOSH WE'RE BURNING ALIVE! NO! I CANT FEEL MY LEGS!' here comes the meat wagon...weoweoweo. the medic gets out and says, 'oh my gosh!' the new guy in the corner puking his guts out::uuugggghhh uuuggghhh:: All because you wanted to save a couple extra pennies haha to me it doesn't... "

Cheap welds plus back fire and heat = blown up exhaust. Hey anything can happen.
