Default Buying an ebay exhaust?

What's the worst thing that can happen with buying a cheap exhaust from ebay? There are a few axle back systems that are almost free. (at least compared to F-Sport or even HKS).

If I just wanted a louder exhaust note, wouldn't this for example be a huge bargain?

If someone here has one, please share us your experiences.

They're cheap and you get what you pay for. Looks like it's a copy of the Megan exhaust. There's another ebay exhaust floating around that is a copy of the tanabe exhaust. I'm pretty sure you won't know the difference, but you're just supporting copycat engineering.

its probably going to be just fine.. the only thing you might notice is that its a little on the loud side. try to get one that looks more like a copy of the tanabe medallion touring.

Except for not having a serial number plate on the bottom of the exhaust and "Medallion" etched on the tip, that's a dead ringer for a Tanabe. Not a bad deal for $66.
