How bad are the 20$ mufflers on Ebay?

frank280zxt and I were looking at these cheap mufflers on ebay. You know the kind. Lots of stainless steel and ridiculous diameters. At a price of 20$ I think you cant go wrong. If it splits open in a years time I can just buy a new one at that price. But does anyone have experience with these mufflers?

 

here's an example:

or even cheaper

haven't put it on my son's Prelude yet, but its as beautiful in person as it is on ebay. i hate to weld the brackets to it. i'll do them on top where it doesn't show.

 

BTW: $174.99 before shipping in the sport compact section of Jeg's. Don't know if same brand but they look identical.

Before I'd buy something like that off eBay, I'd try to find out where they are coming from. Did you check jcwhitney? I know they often have many cheap mufflers.

those mufflers will sound pretty raspy (ricey).. when you knock on them with you hand they will sound hallow.

plus its a DTM style tip.. kinda ment for Euro based cars.. might not mean anything to some but i guess im not like others lol.

Thermal R&D makes some nice mufflers for not alot of money.. they are big with the DSM crowd and i love the way they sound... nice and deep.

i was gonna get one but i found a hell of a deal on my Blitz Nur Spec muffler that came with full 3in exhaust.

For an 87 ZXT I had, it was the dual DTM tip as well and sounded excellent, I was totally suprised for the small cost of whta Iif I remember correctly was under 49 dollars to my door.
