Has anyone purchased this exhaust??

Found this on Ebay...Appears to be a copy of the HKS. Seller did not tell me who makes this besides that it is made in China. What do you guys think?

How can you understand bodykits but not exhausts? Fake is fake. Many would argue an exhaust has very little if any performance gains so its basically for looks and sound so having a fake exhaust to me is the same as a fake kit.

Ebay parts are always made cheaper and less reliable than athentic company's... They did a right up in one of the magazines to compare ebay knock-off's to the real thing... Knock-off's couldn't hold up...

Ebay buyer's response to my question re: this exhaust

"I've had it for a couple months now and I have no complaints. Great sound, good performance gains (15 hp to rear wheels according to dyno test) Perfect fit and really easy to install. only took me 20 minutes to install it. It stays really quiet until you get on it which is what I was looking for. Smooth deep sound when you open the motor up. sorry no sound clips though. hope I've been of some help."
