Any experience with eBay OEM-styled muffler?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-19...spagenameZWDVW

Can anyone offer their opinion on the quality of this muffler? Basically I'm looking to quiet down my exhaust (the Magnaflow, as seen in my sig, combined with the Y+B-Pipes+HiFlow cat makes for a drony exhaust) but I'm a little hesitant to purchase a used, rusted OEM muffler. With that said would the eBay muffler do the job? The skinny tip is something that could be adjust, and the final shipped price is appealing... any incite?

I had that same muffler (tip cut/3.5 tip welded on) w/y&b pipes, sounded good, had a nice sound until the welds broke inside the muffler which caused the baffles to rattle (after 8 months)...

Just go to Napa and get a Walker Direct Relacement

^ Thanks for the tip, I guess I'm going to avoid the eBay can. So you replaced your eBay muffler with the Walker, as well? I imagine it'd be the QuietFlow?

Thanks for the opinion I'm about to order one now, not from Napa because I don't believe my local Napa has a good selection of exhaust parts (plus they're looking for $160 online). Also I found a deal of a price elsewhereonline.

Yes I ended up getting the Quietflow instead of the regular Walker muffler, since it has a lifetime warranty & not a 1 yr.

At first I thought it was to quiet, but in time it sounded better.
