Default VX mufflers on Ebay vs Flowmaster?

Has anyone seen or heard the Vx mufflers on Ebay that claim to be exactly like Flowmasters at way less cost? I'm getting some Flowmaster 1 chambers and the Vx mufflers are $30 less each...much as I hate to buy knock off crap I'm definitely working on a tight budget here.

You haven't saw the Flowmaster commercial on Spike TV lately? They claim the cheap **** falls apart. I don't know.

I've seen that one. But it's all part of their marketing. They won't say another cheaper muffler is as good/better than theirs. Might be worth a try. $60 is a good chunk of change.

Yeah, I know. In the commercial, the muffler looks cut up, not rusted to peices or anything. I would try them at least to see what happens.
