Default Is this worth it?

Can you guys check this out, i was doing some browsing, and came across this, would it be worth it to buy for my 97 civic lx sedan?

eBay Motors: 96 97 98 99 00 CIVIC 2DR EXHAUST SYSTEM HEADER HFL CAT (item 280183256950 end time Dec-16-07 18:06:01 PST)


im on a buget, and not looking to spend alot of money, not realy even looking to buy a header or exhaust, but this seems pretty good, can i get some advice, thanks.

P.S. just trying to get some more power, and a nicer sounding car. I already have an intake. and i know the exhaust system wont make a big diff in power.

NO, do NOT get this for your car. You will not get any gains, the fitment will be horrible, and your car will sound like complete shit. This is good, honest advice when I say this: if you buy that, you will regret it.

Save your money until you can afford to purchase quality parts.... DO NOT SETTLE FOR SHIT!

I've used one of these Ebay brands before. They're not as terrible as everyone thinks. That looks like a pretty good deal. I'm sure it's not going to sound that great because it's just a generic muffler on some exhaust piping and the gains aren't going to be as good as some other quality pieces.
