eBay "Hi-Flow" Cat... Junk??

Hi everyone - relatively new here so I aplogize if I didn't search hard enough to discover that someone already asked about this.

On eBay item # 2431472726:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2431472726

Does anybody know if this is a good deal or should it definitely be steered away from?

Thank you!!

"racing" meaning it is illegal probably? As far as emmissions I mean?

Thanks for the reply!

Impossible to tell from the pics.

If it is a racing pipe it is illegal. We need a pic from the end to see what is inside.

If this pipe has the honeycomb structure inside that contains the "guts" of a cat, then it may be OK

Also it is illegal to replace the cat on a car if the old one is working OK. (This depends on your state, some say 50K miles or 5 years before you can legally replace it)

Bottom line: It looks fishy to me
