Rockauto midpipe...any good?

So after looking for a decent local coupe midpipe (ontario Canada) I found one on Rockauto. 80 bucks shipped to my door. I've dealt with them a few times and loved the service. The pipe is a "walker" brand pipe which is a reputable company. Anyone have any experience with these midpipes? Thanks everyone!

From what I was told.... Crap.
Also it makes it a bit raspy.

Just spend the extra 20 bucks or so to get an OEM one

Spending the extra 20 isn't the issue. Its finding one that's local and in decent shape. I saw one that was about 2 hours from me and the guy sent me pics of it....total rusted out, scaley piece of crap. I can't see myself paying that much for something that is such rough shape...plus having to drive that far to get it. I've read reviews where ppl like the walker pipe. Hmmm...its a delema. Lol

i wouldn't buy that walker crap, you may as well have your oem midpipe modified and get the middle resonator replaced

The resonator in the sedan midpipe is HUGE!! If I was going to modify my pipe I may as well just get a new one.

that makes no sense, you'd spend half the price having the stock sedan midpipe cut out then replaced with a higher quality resonator than purchasing this one.

My advice to you is to post a want to buy ad on here and my350z for a stock midpipe from a coupe or Z.

i got a magnaflow resonator in place of the stock midpipe, it's really nice coupled with an aftermarket muffler. Nice deep tone and smooth without rasp because i hate rasp. It was 155 installed.

I'm in Canada, and I highly doubt I could buy a high quality resonator and also have my stock pipe cut and the resonator welded in for 80 bucks. I may just keep looking for a stock coupe pipe locally.

I might be missing something but does Canada not have a quality exhaust shop? There's a lot of quality G's from Canada so I'd imagine you could call a shop and get a quote.

The point wasn't that we didn't have quality shops or parts..it was that I doubted it could be done as cheap as buying the rock auto pipe. Its ok though, I'm sure I'm just going to hold out for a oem coupe pipe.
