And many others would) and the list goes on. Once again I personally never bought any pipes or car parts from eBay myself for performance, these are things that I was told by friends and others that has.
I was considering buying used parts such as cold air intake which is what I want right now but it cost $515 :-/ (Stillen) but I was also told to not do it because it wouldn't be a good idea. So at this point I'm guessing the only way out is to spend the outrages amount of money =/

There is nothing wrong with getting used performance parts as long as you make sure they are in decent condition. I saved a bunch of money by getting all my parts used and they all work perfectly. Picked up a Berk exhaust for $700; Stillen G3 intakes for $300; and CNT HFC for $200. That's over $1k in savings and all my parts work perfectly.
