Would be interesting to see how quality is. My experience with other non Corvette eBay exhausts has been very good. I had one on my 335i, have one on 2015 GTI.
I certainly do not think you will get even close to the gains they are claiming as I have read in several threads that a 3'' xpipe actually decreased torque over the stock set up. I'm pretty much of the thought that it is a sound improvement only mod.

If this is a quality piece I would definitely be in for it. Not having to pay borla or corsa name badge is a definite plus

Worth a shot, but be wary. It looks similar to the 3" double-resonated Chinese X-pipe that Agency Power sells, who's products are notorious for poor fitment. If anyone in the DFW area wants to buy one, I'll offer up my garage and tools to lend a hand on the install so I can compare it against the Borla and Corsa X-pipes I've also done.

The X doesn't look long enough to promote good flow thru, and the rear clamped area that goes over the 2 3/4 tail pipes should shrunk to 2 13/16 so the clamp can seal a 3 inch pipe to 2 3/4.
The borla can be bought for 370.00 shipped.

Do you have a lift? I actually don't live to far from your location listed and just bought that X-pipe for $210 to temporarily use until my Kooks headers and x-pipe gets in from Maryland Speed. It has been 8 weeks now. Box for the cheap X-pipe just got in yesterday and plan on putting it on at the end of the week.

The Borla pipe on sale for $331, model 60548, does not have the front flanges and is intended to be used (with appropriate adapters) with Borla's headers. I think the pipe you need to replace the factory x-pipe and lose the secondary cats is the model 60547 at $461.99.
