Hello mate
I brought one and have it on my car. Its been on for over a year now and no problems its very loud but not in a really bad way. Its a very deep sound that it makes now mine is on a classic.

Cheers James

Too cheap in my opinion. Bet they are really thin steel. I paid more than that for a decent quality cat back.

I have been to Cobra Exhausts in Sheffield today to have a Backbox made and fitted for me, I would highly recommend them and im sure they would be able to compete with that price.

Give Pete a shout on PM by clicking here and asking him

I'm pretty much sure they are the same, I look at the pictures and they look the same down to the flexi pipe and everything. Had 2 ebay exhausts now on two cars and apart from the fittment with the downpipe onto the gearbox with the bracket for the money they are great.

I cant fault mine had a good look at all the welds when i put it on they are good. Its each to there own really at the time i couldnt afford a top exhaust so i got one off ebay and am pleased with it. Now my mate has brought one and fitted to his aswel. He works in a garage and said it looks good so my mind is at ease with it.

We've fitted quite a few of these cheap exhausts that customers have brought in, it's one of those things where you get what you pay for, sometimes they last for ages, yet the welds cracked on my mates within a month. On some the fitment can be tricky but if you're after a bargain they certainly are that

Fitment is poor, but that aside you have to ask why all these sub 300bhp scoobs are running 3" exhaust systems

I'm surprised anyone is even asking the question, as with anything else - you get what you pay for.

I once looked at these ebay systems...I wasnt convinced though, so i looked on their history to find a user that had previously bought one, and emailed that ebayer asking what he thought to it.

he said when he got round to fitting it, it was a really bad fit and had to have it modified...then decided not to keep it so sold it on and bought a proper one

If companys wern't so gready with prices for impreza parts, then most people wouldn't buy cheap systems, i will admit the fit wasn't the best, but did then job. Will be able to give better report in 6 months as not had it on long enough to say either way.

i have one that fitted with no problems what so ever on my02 bug, sounds nice too they are manufactured at same place as japspeed the only downside is that its mild stainless steel which after a while you will get rusty looking spots easy fix tho just get some autosol and clean it once a month bargain imo
