Default single chamber mufflers

I stumbled into a thread a while ago where some guys were talking about generic brand single chamber mufflers. The guys that had them said they were pretty good, pretty comparable to flowmaster 10's.

Is this true and who sells a decent one?

Or is it worth the extra cash for the Flows?

I was going to order the ones off of ebay, but then I noticed my friend has two single chamber flowmasters in his shop. I asked him if he'd sell me one and he asked me how much they usually sell for. I told him I was going to buy one for $20 he said he'll just let me have it lol.
