Default Ebay Exhaust Tips

has anyone had any experience with tips from ebay?
i went looking for a set of corsa clones and didnt come up with much that would stay close to 100$ however, i did find this auction
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-STA...item518db974ac
i'm definitely not trying to promote them, just wondering if anyone knows good or bad about them.... to me, they look to be of decent quality

I bought those exact ones in your link. I think I paid $60 or so for them. Shipping was fast and packaged well. Just make sure you get the right size inlet. I got the 3 inch because they welded right up to the 3 inch piping on my tails.

Don't have any pics right now because weather has been ****, but here is a vid. I LOVE how they look...so much better than stock or single tips IMO.

i have them too... quality isn't bad but not the best... mine had some surface rust on the inside where the welds were made so i rattle canned the insides to keep them from rusting any further... it took a few weeks for me to get mine... they gave me a tracking # and everytime i checked it showed invalid and i exchanged emails with them for about a week... they ended up saying the box got pushed aside and the driver kept missing it... i don't know if that was the truth or not but i got them pretty quickly after that, so i can't complain too much since i did get them... it could have been worse haha... for the money and what you get i think they are worth it and prob the best looking tips you can get for a t/a for that price too

Here's some more from the back. I DD mine so its kind of hard to keep clean, but metal polish about once a week or so keeps them good.
