It's mainly personal preference. They all do the same thing. Some are stainless steel and some are ceramic coated. That's the main difference between them all. The big name brands should all fit the same so there wouldn't be a problem there. Again, it's all personal preference. :D

Can never really argue with a good price......UNLESS........you know that the quality is crap.

Actually, I got a HPI racing dp from Japan. New it cost me like 200 shipped, but it is extended removing the cat and eliminating the need for a test pipe. The less joints in the exhaust flow, the less turbulence, more power. Just my Opinion, I love it. Also, it doesnt have that little bottle neck that the greddy units have at the flange that meets the J pipe. Sorry for the length, but you never know.

Btw, I also have a HPI Intercooler. Took a long effen time to get it, but it was about $685 shipped and it included the Hotpipe. Great quality. Just coat the piping though.

Get the stainless if you live in a area near the ocean. The salt in the air will rust your stuff like nobody's business. I got a project silvia stainless dp and from what I can see, it's a good replica of the blitz. Got it for 140 shipped.

Dang I like the sound of that HPI stuff. I got the Greddy, coated DP. It is nice, but sometimes I think I should have gotten stainless and now I really want that one piece DP and test pipe.
