eBay NISMO look alike exhaust

Has anyone seen or heard the eBay exhaust system that look like NISMO? The setup comes with a Y-pipe (2.25" inlet, 3" outlet), 3" mid-pipe, and rear section muffler (3" inlet).
I did email the seller and the exhaust was originally designed for a 350Z. They send an extension pipe, but it has to be welded.

haha wow thats a bargain. You could probably have a shop make the adjustments to fit for way cheaper than buying even a used nismo exhaust.

That's not the one he was selling...the tips and tubing size are different.

I'll check MY350Z, since it was originally designed for a 350Z. Worst case I could be the guinea pig for our forum.

I wouldn't do it. Who knows what type of muffler that is. It could have many chambers with louvered cores for all we know.

How about something like this?

I know it is cheap exhaust, and you usually end up getting what you pay for. But the price (I can do local pick up for $250 otd) is just irresistable... (I always go for the cheaper mods, and end up regretting it later, though).

Some of the vendors on eBay that sell that exhaust are from the Los Angeles Area (S. El Monte to be exact) and will let you pick it up from $200-280.

^+1 you are better off buying a used quality exhaust system right here in the marketplace. Though I have heard of some buying the X02 and treating the metal to be more resistant towards rust....but yeahhh I personally would not buy it.
