Zues exhaust? Magnaflow replica?

Has anyone on here had experience with the Zues (?) exhaust? There is one I'm thinking about buying used because the mounts for my stock exhaust are all rusted (I'm talking the metal clamps that go around the mufflers, not the metal stubs the rubber mounts attach to, those are fine) and this one does away with those. Plus the price difference between replacing the mounts and just buying this catback is like $150 so I'm thinking it would be better just to get the catback.

Has anyone ever owned one of these on here or had experience with them? If it's an exact copy of the Magnaflow I know it's going to be loud, especially when coupled with the OBX header that I just ordered, but I really don't mind at all since I'm trying to build a big *** street legal go-kart.

Couldn't actually find anything about it on the internet, but it looks exactly the same as a Magnaflow. The auction ends in 2 hours so if I get it I'll let you guys know about it when it arrives

Bummer, you pretty much just have to bid the absolute most you are willing to pay and let it ride. Hopefully it is more than the sniper bids when there is 20 seconds left.

Yeah, well I didn't want to pay a ton because I need some extra money to throw at a header.

I did, however, just order the cheapest new exhaust I could find on eBay at $229 with free shipping so we'll see just how big of a pile of dogshit that is. They claim it's stainless steel, so it's got that going for it at least.
