Depends on what brand you're looking at. I was looking on ebay as well but found a better deal here on the forums!

i disagree. all are pipes that are meant to connect on thing to another. quality may not be as high as some name brands but whats wrong with bang for buck. do what you want. save the money spent on a name brand and get something else for power too. Megan TBE is a decent exhaust especially for the price. Search it. im intolerant of Intolerances' responses.

I concur; my DP on the way is a megan racing and I already have the cat back, which I now fully endorse since I got it aligned properly

Contact dsm95hybrid if you have any MR needs, he's a great seller.

You get what you pay for. I personally won't put any junk on my 30,000 car. I'm not saying that cheaper parts aren't good, but I can gaurentee that they won't fit or look as good as hks, greddy, works, vishnu, etc. parts.

Some of you say the ebay specials are junk...but can you mix name brands and still have a quality exhaust??? for example greddy cat back and ___????___ what down pipe and hiflow cat would make a good combination?...I was about to do the ebay special for the downpipe also with hiflo cat since greddy doesnt make downpipes and hiflo cats.

i bought my HKS DP on eBay back in June of 03. Not many ppl had an Evo back then and it was CHEAP AS HELL! Also the HKS CB I bought off ebay. I recommend buying brand names and not knockoffs

You get what you pay for. While some argue a pipe is a pipe, I think there are differences in welding, material (etc) to account for the price differences..

some of the off brand downpipes on ebay are infact megan racing pipes. I just purchased a megan racing downpipe from boneheadperformance.com for $140 shipped. I would much rather buy parts from a vendor than from ebay.

With the $300 you spend on one of those downpipes that "look better" I will go buy a downpipe and cat delete pipe and make more power . Its all under the car and I never go under the car to stare at my downpipe.
