Just what is it about an exhaust that makes it worth $1,500 or so that so many here pay? I mean think about it, we are talking steel pipe here folks!
I did a little lookup and 304 stainless runs under $10 a linear foot for 2.5" OD.

darrinps, did you add an X of H pipe in that setup? Without this, the exhaust can't be pulled from the manifold/valves efficiently. Not that you can't get better sound and some more power. I'm all for creative solutions if you can't find the right exhaust for the right price. I did a muffler delete on my Mazda3 and it sounds great for $40.

I have purchased used name-brand exhausts on ebay before with good success. But would be hesitant to purchase an unknown used product.

Just an fyi, i know people who are running "Ebay" exhausts on their cars going on 9 years now and they have never "worn" out or come close to it.

im sure if you browse the web you can find occurances of that happening though, same as I can browse and find issues with issues with any major brand exhaust.

as for the Top Speed "ebay" exhaust for our car, it sounds great and has gotten good numbers for a member on here. And quite a few people have seen it and can see it has no issues.

Don't get me wrong...I'm impressed by the comments here about the performance of the Y pipe, especially coupled with the other components! I always like reading about what other Z owners are doing to mod their cars, especially when it is cost effective
