Default EBAY exhaust systems

Anyone bought one of these? I see some with Name brands and some with muffler brands like Taylor. Any feedback or even expectations? I can add that after buying Chinese headers, the welds look horrible but they fit and the material was SS as advertised.

I hate to spend a great amount on a 20+ yr. old truck but the stock muff has no sound. laughs, may as well have a 6 cyl.
btw: a possiblilty is this FLowFX but prob. a SS muffler of some kind.

edit: It is SS on closer look.

I go nowhere else but Ebay for converters and exhaust parts
I have had good luck so far
Cat I put on the wife's Taurus a few years back, I was convinced it was too small and wouldn't fit
After fighting it for hours, I got it installed
As long as you don't buy a Y pipe cat you should have no trouble

I always expect fighting something for hours nowadays even if it's just my stiff joints.
I'm going to order a set as soon as I figure out which muffler.

Now that truck runs good, I'm getting ready this spring to put on an exhaust.
I've searched and don't see anything on here about a dual in/dual out muffler such as a Borla Pro XS.
Would this require putting it near the Y pipe dual mod, as it is a sort of 'x'?

I like their sound but not decided if I want duals or if single in/dual out is just as good for everything, prob. with a FlowFX
I have shorties but they may not affect sound.

I cut out the rear two cats and threw on a flowFX muffler in place of the stocker and she sounds really nice. Similar to a magnaflow, nice and throaty and low at idle and roars when you get on it. My exhaust came out in front of the passenger rear tire, so i kept that location. If you want to go dual, you cant go wrong with a dual in dual out FlowFX, you will have to remove the Y pipe obviously but should sound sweet. I am thinking about having another set up using a cherry bomb, for when I want it to sound mean lol, I didn't weld the muffler in place so i can run different mufflers if i want to.
