I dont like the fact that you don't respect everyone's opinion and other types of music, that is all. If I recall correctly, "E-Thugs" don't use correct grammar and punctuation. Who knows though, I might be in disguise.

I wouldn't mind going cheap on a test pipe.

That's about it.
I did, it fit like sh*t. $25. I had it for like 6 months but after having to change gaskets like 3 times because the crappy fitment caused a gap and they kept burning thru.

Why ask? You're more than likely going to be swayed by the cheap prices ebay offeres on its cheap quality parts. Theres nothing really wrong with getting top name parts used but i'm talking about if you're looking for cheap knock off parts made by random companies. Some stuff you can get by like a test pipe or couplers but mechanical I wouldn't.

there are literally NO ebay parts on my cars. never again.

i tried ebay exhaust. fit and sounded like ***. ebay testpipe, fit like ***.

i figured if knock off stationary pipes fail, then i sure as hell am not putting any other car part on from ebay.

there is a distinct difference between getting good parts cheap, and getting cheap parts cheap.

then there is paying full price. if thats the only logical choice, i do it

A tower bar SHOULD be pretty basic ,but the cheap companies manage to F that up too somehow.

I've seen the "ebay brand" ones. They bend very easy.

Steering wheel hub?If you screw up a tower bar, imagine a steering wheel hub.
