Default Anybody Have This Exhaust?? Dirt Cheap @ $430 Shipped New

Anybody have or know about this exhaust? They've been going for $430 shipped. That's the lowest price I've seen for a new IS exhaust. The Ebay description and link is below:

You Are Bidding on a *** Brand New TOP SPEED PRO-1 Dual Exhaust System in Polished Stainless Steel with TIG Welding with 100mm Tips / 60mm Piping *** For Lexus IS250 / IS350 06-09 *** Actual picture shown / New Bolts + Gaskets Included / Very Nice Deep Tone Sound *** Under 97db sound level / No C.A.R.B Exempt for California Customers / Very Good Quality Exhaust for Affordable Price !

*** My fault, I should've posted this in the Performance Section.***

^ I think he's asking about the exhaust, not selling it.

There was a prototype a while back on ebay it was like $250. I've asked the seller numerous times and he said it sounds exactly as the tanabe and quietness as well. I was too skeptical to jump on it at the time since he never had one on the car nor sound clips. But oh well I bought the real tanabe and couldn't be happier.

Looks like a replica? Not bad, and no one will really notice the difference unless they get down to look at the side of the tip. I may have to pull the trigger on an exhaust and get this one...

it was only a matter of time before copycat systems made it to the market (via ebay), though i wouldn't trust them. buyer beware.

I agree...
After all, you get what you pay for.

If you really want a good exhaust for cheap, just look in the classified sections. You might find something you like.

Sorry for not responding. I haven't had time to go visit that shop, and right now, exhaust isn't too high on my priority. Though this one looked interesting, but in reality, i wouldn't pull a trigger on a knockoff. haha
