I have a similar looking catback made by Top Speed (in Texas, you can find on google), that I am about to install. Mine looks like a perfect fit, but another forum user had trouble getting the joint in the middle to line up and sent his back. I plan on posting some pictures and sounds very soon--so you can be the judge.
that is a copy of the rk sport header made for the 2.2
they are made from a low grade of stainless
I looks legit but remember, you get what you pay for.

After receiving and installing that ebay exhaust from Top Speed, I cannot recommend it. There is an error in the design that requires additional bending to clear the axle and correctly line up with the squeeze joint. I had to take it to a shop. It is not 2.5 inch, but rather an oddball 2 3/8 (outside diameter). The guy that tweaked the bends for me didn't think it was even mandral bent to begin with--there was slight ovaling on the tight curves and he said he could have replicated the constuction with his compression bender. I also had to fabricate a extension plate for the rear stock hanger, and alter the welded prong that mates with the forward stock hanger....not really what you want to do with an aftermarket part that should have been right to begin with.
On the positive side, the raw material is acceptable quality (given the characteristics of T-304 stainless), and the sound is as expected.
