I realize that this is a dumb question, but what do cats look like? The pipes look very similar to all hfcs i looked up i.e. stillen, kinetix, aam...

Haha...close, but no cigar! The o2 sensor bung is much different profile on those ebay "downpipes" as well as a crappier looking weld....Im thinking Invida HFcs is the ones that really look identical to me.

Also, it would seem crazy (tho not impossible!) for the same person to have MREV installed, STILLEN headers (expensive)....and then a crappy no name brand of TPs...Im just saying, not impossible, just unlikely.
