Never heard of that brand, but I guess the saying goes. "you get what you pay for"

What the hell are you talking about, real or fake? It's a real exhaust. You bought it, now bolt it on and tell us what you think. If you didn't want to get ripped off, first, you should have asked BEFORE you bought it, and second, should have stayed off of ebay.

Professional installation strongly recommended. Install by welding.

Why did they say you need to weld it? Am I missing something?

I don't see why people keep bad-mouthing ebay. If you know what you want and what to look for, you can get some pretty good deals!

^ ^ ^ Actually, you are correct! I have bought a lot of my automotive items off of ebay. If you know what you're doing, you can save some bucks, AND get name brand and/or quality stuff. But you can easily get screwed, especially if you're a noob to ebay. People are so naive, so gullible, and so easily convinced by shiny objects (ss exhaust) and promises (15HP). At this point, I would say there is a better than even chance you will pick up junk rather than quality stuff on ebay motors, unless you do your homework. Shop for items explicitly described and priced elsewhere, and only from well reviewed sources. I doubt Honda of Mechanicsville will screw you, for example, when they advertise the HFP axle-back for $270. It is almost 100% guaranteed it is genuine, and they won't run off with your money. Niiiice!

amen....100% of my parts for my car are off of eBay....all brand new bought from eBay stores, and my HIDs off the forum....but as someone stated prior "you get what you pay for". Sellers arent going to sell a reliable item and flawless item for dirt cheap. Although if it works who cares, just cant garuntee it isnt gonna rust out with a few years

If you know what your looking for then you can get good deals on eBay. If you have no idea what your doing and you just type in something like "Civic SI Chip" into ebay you are going to pick up absolute crap.

freekaingjon · 04-14-2007, 03:55 PM

im not a car parts pro or anything... but im sure thats an axle back...and im sure but i think it's just bolt on installation. the info says weld on but the item says bolt on??? how weird is that. and if it's just an axle back it doesnt produce 10 hp like it says that it does. it's just for looks and sound

imtim25 · 04-14-2007, 04:05 PM

sai_1987 · 04-14-2007, 05:05 PM

LOL.
i will defintely post some pix and vids and show if it works. i just hope it wont start back firing and s*** like that!

ebay is not 100% reliable tho, half of the stuff i buy end up defective with no warranty and stuff. some i have been using for a long time. mostly its just luck! (i think)

berlinas2k2 · 04-14-2007, 05:37 PM

The only thing FAKE about that cheap muffler is how well that seller can SPELL "Steel" as "Stell". haha.

Clearly states that axle-back is a BOLT-ON, so there shouldn't be any welding whatsoever.

Here's the Fake Part about what you purchased.

Increase up to 10 HP

LOLZ!

**CrackThatTec45** · 04-14-2007, 05:45 PM

STELL lol 4.5 is a massive outlet...my lord

....i can speak for everyone when i say once this thing is installed we want videos and we wants pictures,

...but yeah bro, if you run rampid on eBay clueless you'll pick some serious crap off of there. Either know what your looking at BEFORE you buy it or before hand ASK ASK ASK ASK...dont rice out a beautiful car with buying useless crap off of eBay
