Hello all I have a couple of questions, I have been looking everywhere trying to find what I'm looking for but I'm out of luck..

The first question is if I order a part from eBay would it really be that much different than ordering it from a site like american muscle? This is the item I was looking at..
http://www.americanmuscle.com/stainlessworks-header-catted-xpipe-1114gt.html

I saw on ebay that I can just purchase the parts separately and I'll save a decent amount of money.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/JBA-6685SXC...ash=item3601214cce:g:NYEAAOSwx2dYHBiG&vxp=mtr

Aren't these items almost the same? The only difference I see is that the midpipes aren't labeled as "hi flow cats" but they look relatively the same, is there a difference?

Also another question is that after I purchase headers, cats & mid pipe, will it fit into my exhaust? I currently have an roush axle-back exhaust and since all the piping is 3 inches, I was wondering how it would fit onto the roush axle back exhaust when it's diameter on american muscle is listed as 2.75 inches.

Last question is that I called my local auto shop (henry's muffler shop), they gave me a price of $475 for hi flow cats, resonator delete, and a x or h pipe (I haven't decided yet). I was wondering should I just take that deal and then buy my headers online separately and then let them install it?

Thanks!
 
Mixing different brands of exhaust components is not recommended. You may run into fitment issues such as the midpipes are too long or too short. Stainless works sells a budget line of headers and cat pipes called stainless power, they run about 4 bills cheaper than the works branded set. The only difference I found is the stainless works have a lifetime warranty and the stainless power only gets a 2 year warranty. You can buy them from https://lmr.com/?
