alright, I see random ebay stuff, like cai's and ''full exhaust, like greddy'' . I see strut bars, and **** for like under 20 bucks for a kit, and coilovers and what not. is any of it worth the x amount of dollars it cost? how much of a difference is name brand and ebay? thanks, and sorry for the ebay post...

 

Valid Question, and certainly one that's never answered unless it's asked.
Generally, suspect anything that is deep discounted, and compare the item against whats' sold thru regular Internet Stores.
Most everything I've seen on Ebay (automotive parts) are either seconds, knock-offs, overstocks and clearances. That's not to say that you can't find a bargain on that 3/4 race Muffler Bearing, just be aware of what (and where) you're buying.
Just remember P.T Barnum's famous quote and that advice from Dad about "getting what you pay for".....

when it comes to the car world theres no arguement about it, u get what u pay for hands down...

 

Thanks for your help, but i have one more question. What is a used cai, or cat back worth? I recently bought a 94 accord ex, and had big plans to put the t4 from my wrecked eagle talon on the f22, but i've read that it's pretty hard, so for now i am gonna stick to i/h/e-but i wanted it cheaper, whats the best bargain or w/e. I've read ''used is just as good as new'' is that true? how would you go about building this car? I have no care for show, maybe some nice rims or something, but i'm pretty much performance minded on this one. and for you 2 that responded,

 

For the intake you could make a ghetto free intake. Take the stock airbox and take the bottom part off and hold the filter on the top side &lt;ghetto&gt; For the exhaust and header combo you could look around online. Im sure some people are selling used parts and etc... wow a T4 on an f22. i think the prob would be clearance issues? But they should have some used stuff on ebay.. i think.

 

find a quality item from a reputable website then go on ebay and get it for half price.

 

becarefull with ebay, theres a lot of scammers out there. not only that but you get what you pay for and even though prices seem cheap they always rape you with shipping.

 

yeah, i have done my share of buying and selling, and always factor the shipping in, but i guess i was just wondering if any of those parts are legit. I have read recently that the generic cai's actually drain power from most cars.

Yes be careful. Feedback i key!!!
I buy a lot of my stuff off ebay.. I have only had a couple things suck. For instance, the cheap exhaust for My friends 98gsr. The firment sucked and it sounds bad... But as far as strut bars, I have front/rear strut bars, and a lower tie bar and i love it. Also, I bought $25 lowering springs and i love them too... Rides a little rought but oh well.. Plus they are adjustable from 0-4".
