I am just kinda confused with pricing.all the exhust post that i have read on here indicate that I connot get an exhust for less than $200us, yet on e-bay they are for $40 and where I live I can get an exhust for $100 canadian.so I just wanted to know if there was a tremundus diffrence between the $200 exhust and the $40 or am I just buying a name.

also, I cheked out compleat catbacks, with the piping, catalitic converter and the exhust and they go for around $800 cnd. but I can buy the catalytic converter and the exhust for about $300 cnd. am I paying $500 for piping or is there somehting that i am not aware of?

and finally e-bay seems to have alot of cheep stuff on, and I just wanted to know if any one here has bought stuff off e-bay, like ait intake, catalytic converters, ehxust, roaters ect. and how did it turn out?

I dont have too much money to burn, but I will go and spend the extra cash IF there is a tremdous gap in quality between e-bay products and ones sold in stores. I dont care too much about the name, so if I am just paying for the name I would much rather take the cheeper stuff

Make sure when you get an exhaust, it has mandrel bends. Your $100 "custom exhaust" from the muffler shop uses cheap crush bends that doesn't really help you out.

You could probably get away with a $200 muffler shop exhaust and still get a decent performance boost if you supplied them with the mandrel bends(you can buy them at various online performance stores)

AZHitman sells exhausts that have been receiving very good feedback... and at a price that can't be beat by the name brands.
