Damn that's cheap! I might have considered trying it out, if I hadn't already bought a used FI setup for a hundred more. Welds don't look perfect, but I noticed it has all the stock support mounts that even my FI doesn't have.

Yeaa 400 bucks for a full cat back compared for 600$ for axle backs and 1100$ for cb
Sounds pretty decent too

Hmmm I might get this, pretty good quality. Mufflers look great, and really like the sound! But Im sure they do not have an x version

Read the 9 negative feedbacks they were given in the last 6 months and you'll want to think twice. Broken English was a first sign that these guys may or may not be outside of the U.S.
Their overall feedback score looks great, but why gamble with cheap parts for such well made cars?

Not a full cat-back so doesn't look any better than stock.

Wow. I'm curious if you've ever tried to sell much on ebay. Those 9 negatives are offset by 1767 positives over the same period. That's a 99.5% positive score!! Do you have ANY idea how hard that is to achieve on such a large number of sales? I have no affiliation with this seller whatsoever, but having sold a bit on ebay before, I know firsthand how completely unpredictable and absurd buyers can be. People give negatives because UPS scratched the box, or they didn't read that it won't fit their model, or that you don't ship to Australia, or that it takes longer to arrive during Christmas week, etc. etc.

IMHO, if you can keep 99.5% of nearly 1800 people happy with an online transaction, you are doing extremely well as a reputable seller.

^ I agree with that

plus...I don't necessarily agree with this blanket statement people throw around, "you get what you pay for." There IS such a thing as a bargain and sometimes you DON'T get what you pay for. Many things are overpriced simply because they are branded.

In answer to your questions: Yes, and yes.

I did mention that their overall score looks great. I'm sure by know we all know what it takes to run a successful business on eBay and build a reputation that shows it.
What I merely implied is that I'd be cautious about this. Maybe I'm a bit more cautious than others. But I can honestly say that in my 10 years of dealing with eBay, while buying/selling to and from other countries, I have yet to be burned. I never felt the need to leave negative feedback either. If I'm in doubt, I'd much rather just pass on the purchase.
The number one complaint for this seller seems to be "part does not fit vehicle as described". So I figured I'd pass on what caught my eye.
Perhaps stating that buying from this seller is a "gamble" was a bit of a stretch, but like I said I believe myself to be a bit more cautious than others.
And don't get me wrong, when someone says "the part looked homemade", it's still no indication that it is of low quality. I guess that is for the buyer to perceive. I happen to have a hommade exhaust I put together for my other car that I made from scratch. The way it sits now, I have invested over $2k for just the cat back part of it. Some say hommade, some say custom.

it seems that it's not true dual exhaust since if you notice in the midpipe it goes to one pipe and then goes to the stock y pipe. Wonder if you cut that single part and just run custom piping directly to cat what would be the sound be and if it's actually give a little more kick when go wooott
