Ebay item - thoughts?

Anyone try this (or very similar) cat-bat section? What do you all think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2471385854

ssautochrome is all about the knockoffs...its so funny. Looks just like the apexi thats for sure. I don't think you could really go wrong with it for that price.

It looks good. I'm guessing that the performance is going to be about the same as the Apexi N1. I bought knock-off polished mid pipe and down pipe on ebay new for cheap and they work great!

Yup. I've used a few of the products they offer and they have all been as good as the real thing..

NOW if I can just convince them to copy the RB dual!

I have this one! It looks great, fits great, loud at wide open without the silencer, with the silencer it is not much louder than stock. for the money you cannot go wrong. I have had mine for a year with no problems. although my car is not a daily driver.

The same guys that will pick your hood and kit apart to find the "FEED", "Mazdaspeed", and whatever other "original" badges.. lol

I buy jeans that fit. I don't give a flying water seal who makes them.

Looks like a decent buy. Looks like a nice quality. I have a dp and midpipe from ebay and they work fine. I've had them for a year with no problems. And they are very nice quality just at a cheaper price. I would say go for it if you really want it.

Great! I was hoping some one had one, I like name brand but it if looks and works the same, OK. Some items though can't be knocked off!! I would buy Apexi but for twice as much - I'm saving for a ViS hood.

i bet it doesnt sound like the apexi N1. apexi has a unique sound to their exhaust and i bet its not the same. but if your looking for something that looks the same, and will probablly perform just as well, then go for it. sound is a lot to me, so i wouldnt go with a knockoff. and i hope you dont like your radio, b/c if you get an exhaust that is as lound as an apexi N1, you wont be listening to it much unless your just putting around in your fast car.
