It's also catted, so that's nice. Quality probably equivalent to Borla.
With no warranty to boot.
Past borla quality issues aside, you would be better off with the Borla than this IMO.

Fair enough, I see what you mean. The warranty is definitely worth it.

Having ran their products before on hondas (cheap home built turbo kits) and my 2 evo's (turbo backs), I can say their cat backs are well worth the money and their turbo kits were...okay as long as you didn't use their turbo.

I'll give it some time for someone else to try first and an UEL version to be copied (errr...I mean made) and then I will buy.

That looks nearly identical to an Invidia Q300, except the Q300 uses a slipjoint for the muffler connection.
Also in the ebay picture, the burnt tip colors don't match at all.

I'd say it's not worth it at all.

Chinese knock offs are done VERY well. It will rust quick but will NOT crack in a month. Fitment is something of the past.

And they WILL exchange defective items if it does not fit. They will not return for refund or exchange for different item if nothing is wrong. This is EBAY. Disputes are handled very well and high volume sellers are very helpful.

And for warranty, shipping costs usually exceed repair costs in cases of cheap headers. I would only worry about warranty for other components.

Some people will find it well worth it.

I just noticed a similar system on eBay from an Aussie seller. In fact, I think it's identical from the same manufacturer. They've got more pictures here:

Well that makes it better... lol

No where does it say anything about any warranty or coverage 1yr from now when things go south.

You can buy American made by someone who stands behind their product with a warranty from Borla, Revworks, Nameless (when it comes out) or from China who just says buy a new one 3 or 4 times while you own the car.

We won't get into the cost of materials to build a correct catalytic converter either...

On the original link, they actually list "lifetime warranty" as a feature:

-Made from 321 Stainless Steel w/ titanium inclusion! Fully Polished and TIG Welded
-Includes Cat
-Euro Spec!
-Flange thickness 3/8th
-Pipes 42mm diameter
-1.9mm thick
-321 with titanium inclusion
Lifetime warranty

I'm not sure what "titanium inclusion" or "Euro spec" mean, but I'm very tempted to pull the trigger on this. You know, for science!

You never know, this could be awesome. Don't knock it till you try it I always say(within reason ). Chances are though, its going to be a waste of money.
