Ebay axle backs
Has anyone on here tried one of those cheaper axle back systems on ebay? Ive seen them on there shipped for less than $400. Im one of those ppl who believe you get what you pay for but I dont see how there could be that much of a difference with ine of those systems vs a popular brand for $1200 or more. Im sure the fitment and quality is not as good but is it really worth paying an extra $800 or more for a name brand? Just curious if anyone has tried one of these!

Oh I'm in no hurry. I actually just put my stock Ti's back on and plan on keeping it that way for awhile. I just know that eventually I will end up doing something else.

There's another thread on here of someone who bought them and did a thorough review of them. Bottom line, he liked them, but it took some adjusting because the fitment wasn't the greatest.

stay stock or buy something decent. there is a huge quality difference in the steel used. most of the china catbacks use brittle stainless with little nickel and quite a lot of impurities.
get something from corsa, borla, bassani, magnaflow etc
cheap mods are a great way to have problems and devalue your car

We can't speak specifically to anyone else's exhaust systems, but MagnaFlow builds all of our exhaust systems here in the U.S. with the highest-quality material. Our mufflers are all welded and mandrel bent in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, and we stand by the quality of our performance exhaust systems with a lifetime warranty.
