Default Are the EBAY exhausts any good?

Hey guys. My exhaust is pretty beat up and old, and I have been wanting to replace it with something a bit bigger and newer. Ive been looking at the basic ebay kits that bolt on but with them being between $150-$250 I thought Id ask and see if anyone else has done it and if its a good idea.
Im gonna be replacing the muffler regardless once I put a new exhaust in, I cant stand the sound of the "fart can" and will be putting in a twin loop muffler.
Thanks!

it's steel piping pretty hard to mess up, replace the resonator too that and the muffler are absolute ****. But in reality an exhaust shop could weld you up an entire one for the same cost. Why cheap out tho if you want bolt up they range from 230-700$ there's some good ones for 250$ like the K-Teller ones just weld it up and go I have one of their 3'' on my DC2.

Would you keep the cat, or put a piece of straight pipe in?

I'll never buy a ebay exhaust ever again. Bought one for my CRX and it was total crap. Muffler sounded like it had loose metal in it. Ended up bolting on a FlowMaster axle back muffler and it sounded a lot better.

Last week I had a local shop build me a 2.5" downpipe back exhaust with a resonator to get rid of the rasp for $270 with all the hangers and flanges for my 94 civic. Perfect fit and looks stock.

Actually if built right it will sound nice, that includes resonator and muffler. Guys on team-integra do it just to tailor to there needs.

If you do go for a no name from ebay or amazon etc, be sure to take a good look at the welds.

Some of the fart cans use folded metal and cheap welds while others do a solid MIG/TIG weld setup.

Quality varies for that price point, so it is a crap shoot usually.

For that price range you can pick up a Yonaka Cat back exhaust... but for the full system expect to pay around 500$ as an FYI....

But as others have said.. be wary of any Ebay exhaust. You definitely get what you pay for.
