Headers/exhaust system: Anyone have knowledge of this one?
Anyone have feedback about or direct knowledge of this system from Maxspeed? Compared to the similar set-up from Fabspeed?

Similar Chinese knockoffs for the 996 actually reduced performance and I'd be willing to bet a few dollars that when these were copied they never saw the underside of a 964. The other problem with eBay vendors sourcing product from China is that there is no control over the materials used. For a while now nickel has been a little more difficult to source and a LOT more expensive to buy. So what Chinese manufacturers have been caught doing is dramatically reducing the nickel content in the stainless steel that they are selling. Which kills any sort of corrosion resistance you'd be hoping for. If you're specifiying a certain grade of steel and testing it then you could be fine. But an eBay vendor that is sourcing product from a B2B site like Alibaba definitely won't have any clue.
