Most of them are knockoffs of Place Racing or Injen etc.

I have bought a couple of them and they work great. Only problem is that most of them have a cheap filter and you have to replace that with a good one, that considered they are still much much cheaper than the real thing and do just as good a job.

Actually I preferred the EBay one I had to the Place Racing CAI because it was aluminum vs steel which is lighter and dissipates heat faster.

I have no idea about the exhausts.

Yes they are good, but beware, some kits on there don't come with half the right parts...

I'm happy with my Bomz hybrid intake, got it for $40 shipped.

I don't know if I'd trust an exhuast though, it'd probably be cheap aluminized (rusts quickly) and non-mandrel bent (poor performance) for that price. I've also heard of people having fitment problems. If you mean the ebay mufflers, they'll be loud and give you little/no performance.

The only exhaust stuff I'd even consider off ebay is something with a name brand (cattmann, stillen, warpspeed, budget, OBX).
