It all depends on who you are buying it from. If its a reputable dealer/company you will probably be fine. Common sense comes into play if it seems to good to be true it probably is.
If they say it is the real thing it probably is. Look at there seller rating and if they have a large number of sales with little negative responses then you'll probably be dealing with someone legit. If you bought the exhaust and it arrived and it was bogus and the item description clearly states its the real thing then email that person first and try to solve the problem. If that doesn't work tell them your turning them into Ebay. That usually gets the ball rolling in your favor. Later.
SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Post Whoring May Result In Premature Brain Retardation
FYI - Many people sell defective merchantdise on ebay because that's the only way they can get rid of it. Either it's defective or it's a piece of crap. If you really want a quality product, search hard.
Hey Steven, not to counter attack what you said but ive gotten about 30 different things off of ebay not just car stuff and I have yet to get something defective. Its about good communication. you talk to the person before you buy there product. Hell, half the people selling stuff are people from the web sites you get your stuff from in the first place. kaminari sells their kits on ebay. Now if you get a 200 dollar exhaust your gonna get what you pay for. Just my two cents. Later.

Sorry, It was on Ebay about 6 months ago when i bought it off of there. I got if for my boy. I can give you a link to the page if you want. OBX has a website you can buy off of but the price of the Exhaust is 450 on their site and I've found it hard to find the exhaust anywere else for some reason.
