would this be something that I would get from ebay without regreting it haha? because I hate dealing with private sellers that arent local I've lost $600 in doing so. Im going to check SBR and FP to see what they have. I'm hesitant with ebay though.

you can get a j-pipe anywhere. There are plenty of vendors that sell them at a decent price. Because ebay piping will more than likely be very thin metal and probably bend and break on you. Also check out dsmtrader for used stuff

To answer your question, yeah why not pick up the J-Pipe from eBay. How bad can they screw that up right?

sebba have you ever seen some IC piping quality from ebay. Ive seen sometimes where the pipe will crush from minimal pressure from the t-bolt clamps. I wouldnt do it, especially when you can just get one from a real vendor for like $25

Yes I understand, but this is ONE solid pipe. The complication of a complete pipe setup isn't there, and as long as the welds are half decent then I can't see a reason why it would be a bad idea.

If they show a picture of the actual product, then you can easily determine good from bad, and for that reason I say it's okay to get a J-Pipe from eBay.
