I noticed your thread the other day when you showed that $20 strut (I can't remember if it was a strut or what it was) that you found on ebay.

I'm new with my car and all. But to me brand does matter because there's a reason why a brand name is preferred when it comes your vehicles. And you want quality products in a vehicle because what if you break down somewhere?

And the stuff you find on ebay is not quality brand stuff. If your going to pay anything for your car make sure you get quality. Or else you'll wind up replacing it again later and spending more than what you would've spent if you had just bought the quality brand name the first time around. So if you can't afford the quality product right now, save up until you can. Don't settle for less.

Re: Muffler Tips

I'll go the opposite route, I've bought off ebay, and I think quality brands are better, but sometimes not worth the extreme price markup. If you want a performance style muffler like that, go ahead and get one of those. They will work fine, take it to a muffler shop and get them to build you a custom catback. You could get it mounted and the catback made and installed for 150-300 bucks. Performance-wise you wont notice much of a difference. The tone of sound maybe slightly different from a name-brand, it may drone at times, but overall, I think it's better than buying a $800 catback that flows pretty much the same. Just my .02 There are parts that matter, and parts that you can skimp on a bit..a muffler is one I would say you could skimp on a bit.
$20 struts are one of those things, I wouldn't go cheap on...
