X-Pipe comparison HELP!
So here is the Magnaflow, which everyone recommends ($89)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Magna...3A1|240%3A1318
Here is this VERY sexy smooth looking unknown ($35)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T304-...3A1|240%3A1318
Can I get a better deal on a Magnaflow?
Now its not about looks, but it looks, but it seams the generic is going to have a very smooth throughput. Sound and performance is what is most important here, I don't want to have to replace it when the day comes I get long tube headers and it is backing things up.(I don't think it will) Sound wise, do you think its a safe bet?

As far as I can tell both of them are made by stamping the metal so if the diameter inside both of them is 3 inches then it is a no brainer to choose the cheaper one.

Go with a H pipe design instead man. It has a WAY deeper rumble to it and will make more low end
torque.

It's hard to see for sure in those pics, but the Ebay $35 looks to have a larger crsoos sectional area, and smoother bends. SO guess what one I would choose
See yeah

Lots of the W210 E55 guys use the $35 ebay ones with no problems and honestly they flow better than the mags and are smoother than the mags also. Just make sure you get the right size for your application.
