DOWNPIPE ON EBAY

I was just wondering if this downpipe would be okay to use for my 2nd gen 3sgte swap. I am swapping it into a 1997 5sfe celica. Its cheap looking, so I don't know what you guys have heard about buying something like this or have used it before. Let me know, thanx in advance.

those ebay DP's are cheap.
the big problem with them is quality control.
one pipe will be nicely welded, fit well, ect, and the next is a TOTAL pos.
if you DO decide to buy it, be SURE to get the support bracket for the DP with it, or at the very least get the KO racing dp bracket.
id also think about having the welds re-inforced if they look suspect at all.
BTW, your link isnt working. >wink.gif>
