i stumbled upon this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mazda-Protege-5-Wagon-Exhaust-Muffler-N1-Catback-02-03_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhas hZitem4148f78c21QQitemZ280397057057QQptZMotorsQ5fC arQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mazda-Protege-5-Wagon-Exhaust-Muffler-N1-Catback-02-03_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhas hZitem4148f78c21QQitemZ280397057057QQptZMotorsQ5fC arQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories)

and i was wondering if anyone knew how it sounded and if it's a direct fit. i know a lot of people dont like ebay no name products, but my friend recently picked up a $150 ebay no name catback for his civic and it sounds amazing.

i wouldnt trust it honestly..from alot of the people who bought those catbacks that i know for several different types of cars, the muffler stuffing stuff inside disintergrated and made the exhaust sound like he had a huge exhaust leak after a year...and they all went to stock or got a new muffler to replace the ebay one.

^^i think he meant, the random no name brand stuff.

There are plenty of HKS/Greddy/ and whatnot for sale on ebay and its sold for a great price sometimes, but you gota becareful tho. there are alot of replicas of even name brand stuff that are sold on ebay.

here my idea , buy it and have a Magnaflow muffler welded in and muffler issue solved. So a great catback for like 250. (enguard)

I'd say this looks legit - it looks like they actually took the time to lay the parts out and photograph them. Usually the guys with the cheap knockoffs just use stock photos, and as was mentioned above, get the years wrong for our cars. And they're usually not based in the US.

since the exhaust is going to be outside of the car, so don't get it! It will become rusty in couple weeks....
