    Default eBay dp's

    Hey all I've been looking around for a while at dp's of every variety and don't care much for names/brands
    And found some no name dps for around the $100-$150 mark can anyone foresee any issues ? Had a look on the US forums and can't see much negative ? Any comments welcomed

    IMO you get really lucky to find that one awesome bargain, however most of the time you just get what you paid for.

    Your call!

    Honestly raffa, ebay ones probably are just rips of the US ones, unless for some reason they have found a way to remake the dp at the same quality for 1/4 of the cost, i would see issues with cel's, power gains and cracking, maybe even fitment.

    I'd say if your after a cheap dp look hard for a second hand one.

    Thing get much easier for us Gen II owners seeing as even some brand name DPs cause CELs.

    Most of us are pretty gun shy about eBay ones

    Even if your able to pick up one for 200 - 400 dollars (cheap) you still need to fork out like 500 for installation lol not trying to burst your bubble but either way the cheapest you might get it is about 800 all installed id think

    Do you want a full DP with cat, or just the first DP, no cat?

    I jumped in and got a US Ebay catless DP about 6 months ago for under $250 delivered.
    I've had it in now for 4 months, and have had no real issues at all.... CEL did come on after about a week, had it cleared, it came back on about 2 weeks later and I just left it as it was still driving like normal anyway and after a few days of showing the CEL it went away and hasn't come back!
    Now this could be explained because I bought a cat less DP and added a 100cell cat after the DP in the straight pipe.

    The performance shop (S&J) said it was very well built but said they wouldn't use the cheap gasket it came with, they priced a new gasket from Mazda but was going to be $180!!! so they used the original one as it was in good condition
    I'm getting 192kw's and loving every bit of it!
