Default Quick question about cheap exhausts

Hi all, I've been thinking about getting an exhaust for a while now and have considered the usual suspects ie Afterburner, Ninja, Scoobysport etc.
Then I spotted a few exhaust on ebay such as the one below which is cat back 3" and angled exit as per the afterburner. Can anyone shed any light as to why something like this might be so cheap and any reasons not to get one??

eBay.co.uk: 01-06 Subaru Impreza 3" Catback Exhaust WRX STi 02 03 (item 140049884082 end time 13-Nov-06 10:48:51 GMT)

Cheers people

Jimbo

No mention of it being Stainless, could well be polished Mild steel, and if so will suffer badly in UK winter road conditions compared to Stainless.

Get what u pay for at the end of the day, i've got a Afterburner on my STi and being made by Hayward and scott i'd expect it to last for as long as the car. SO far so good, it still looks as good as new after 12ish months
