it probably wont sound amazing. i bought an ebay exhaust for about the same price, and I will never do it again. they had shitty welds. my car is DUMPED and the hangers are rarely in the right place. I had to cut and reweld the hangers for it to hang correctly, and even then after scraping alot, and abuse at the track it broke in half at the resonator. i would spend that much on a tip from a reputable company, and have an exhaust shop weld the piping. my friend did it with a blitz nurspec tip, and a shop did the piping, hangers, and install for 80$. I would reccomend doing that over anything on ebay.

Yes it is worth it. I have an ebay exhaust. It did sound amazing. Some ebay exhuasts have different tones, add in whats feeding into it and it might be a different tone.
In terms of welds I didnt have any problems with mine until I hit something with it and broke the rear half. So I got another one. So 2 exhuasts for the price of half of one... With aero it doesnt come out of the rear bumper, but neither do most exhausts. You can either add a tip to it or extend the piping, whatever.
The hangers do suck, but my car is low and when you get that low most any hanger won't last. I had mine held on by only two hangers (rear ones werent on) and I drove for a long while like that until one of the hangers finally broke. Then just reinforced the hell out of it and it was fine.
But now I have a buddy club because all fart can exhausts are too low.
So my advice is buy it, and have someone reinforce the welds if you are truly that low.
if you go with ebay id say go with the n1 remake. it has good fitment and sounds pretty good. 200 shipped or something like that. just got mine about a week ago to replace my ghey custom setup(previous owners suck)

Here's the one I got....they have alot of them on eBay.

At first I thought the fitment was going to be a problem but once I got it together and mounted....looks great. Of course you can't beat the price either.
Realistically, Exhausts are meant to all do the same thing....direct the gases out of the engine. Why pay 650.00+ on a name brand exhaust (did it with my S14 Apexi N1 back in the day) Only to end up having to have it weld repaired anyways? I had to get my "N1 dual" patched up twice on my old car. Never hit anything and didn't have my car lower than 1.5", but still had leaks and broken welds.
Learned my lesson....save some money and get the same result....a shiny exhaust hanging off the back of my car!! Besides who's gonna notice a name back underneath there anyways. It's like getting a Random Technologies high-flow cat, waste of money. Go with Magnaflow aftermarket and save almost 200 bucks!! (Went through 2 Random Tech cats within 3 years, POS in my opinion!!!)
