Default Advice please for custom exhaust line

Hi, some guy is selling his custom exhaust line but I'm not sure if it's worth it.

I need some advice please.

RSR mid Section $ 240
Aerospeed Muffler $ 150
Custom (from header to cat) $ 100

Selling price is $340 and these are the pictures..

That's a pretty jank setup haha... What's a custom header to cat? Do they have a custom header? What exactly does that mean? Custom downpipe? What exactly is THEIR definition of custom? Does extending a o2 sensor constitute a custom header to cat setup?

Next, why is an RSR mid section $240? Piping is piping. And it doesn't cost $240

The aerospeed Muffler is junk. It's like ebay knockoff. Like Ractive...

The Magnaflow hi-flow cat is the only thing i'd slighly approve of... although imo, it's still pretty useless, because you get such minimal gains. What kind of civic are you driving?

There's a reason he's selling you that system; there's probably something wrong with it; either that, or he wants to pawn off his POS and use the money to get a real system

i think you should go custom. you pick the parts you want (sizing of piping, type of muffler, etc...); the parts will be new; there's a good chance it'll be cheaper.

first of all, don't call me "bro," second of all, I am aware that the exchange rate is very close now, however, that doesn't mean that all Canadian stores change their prices to reflect the relation to US dollars.... just ask Fiirkan and mill$civic about the prices and availability of aftermarket performance parts in Canada. It's not the same as it is in the US.

yikes, that's not much of a muffler. Ever wonder WHY it came off the other customer's car? Too bad you didn't get a chance to hear it. What would it cost you to buy a full catback from a trusted company?

Well I don't know if it's bad. Judging by the looks of the muffler I would assume it's really loud. If it were me I wouldn't buy it without hearing it first.
