Never seen it. Never heard anything about it. What I have heard is people having fitting issues with items coming from ebay. Shop wisely. Sometimes what you pay is what you get. I am thinking to go with either Turbo xs or ExoticSpeed.

I've bought a lot of parts for my car and the best piece of advice I can give is that you get what you pay for most of the time.

It might work out good, but there's no pride in the name to ensure quality. Its probably some chinese company trying to make a buck.

I spent $400 on a used magnaflow catback....sounds awesome! wouldn't go with any other at this point, but would prob say the same if I went with borla or mazdaspeed...idunno.

go with turboxs, this isn't the time/product to experiment with ebay.. turboxs isn't much more, is proven, has great customer service... trust me that extra 100 bucks will save a sh*tload of possible headache.

I'm personally not sure someone with have to chime in, I have the complete turboxs system.

-And the turboxs system is very loud if your not aware.

It seems like a knock off of Racing Beat's exhaust

Seriously speaking, like rotarykillz said, you WILL get what you paid for.

The welds are "so so," and you have no idea what kind of material they use inside the muffer for sound reduction. if the materials suck, your exhaust will sound like a rice out Civic in no time. it also might NOT fit 100%, even when they say so.

judging by the labels in the pic, it's 2.25" tubing. I'd stay away from it. Going smaller like this is not the best idea. Check the for sale section and pick up a quality cat back used for the same money or less.

I have the new TurboXS cat-back/mid-pipe setup. It is a bit on the loud side, but the sound is excellent. $500 for a full header-back exhaust - polished 304 stainless steel no less - is a great price.
