Default Hatch Exhaust Comparisons

Ive Been doing research on the differient exhaust systems out there for the EF hatch. Do to my lack of mula i have been looking on ebay, and i was wondering if anybody else has ever used them?
Im not going for loud this time, just a bit more free flowing and prettier than my deterierating stock stuff.
The prices seem toooo cheap to be eather true or quality. I know in life you get what you pay for, so i want to know how well these line up, any fitment issues, ect.

Do you know this from personal experience or from other people talking?

common sense. the exhausts cost 50- 60 bucks, a decent exhaust would cost more than that in materials/"labor" alone, let alone what the company would mark it up. exhausts are crap and will make you sound like a badass weed eater, if that's what you're into, go for it!!

Helped a bud of mine at a shop for a while, I've seen and heard a lot. If you want quality, save for it. Buy something nice once and forget about it.

If that's all the money you have, go for it. Just be warned, fitment will be less than spectacular and you are pretty much guaranteed that there will be an exhaust leak after a week. Also, the muffler packing material will begin to burn out prematurely and will be noticeably raspier than the original sound.This is from personal experience after installing one on my buddy's Del Sol.

If your just not looking to spend much you can get a decent 2.5" muffler and get some exhaust welded on at a muffler shop.
