I must be one of the unlucky ones who has some trouble with their ebay headers. My flanges leading to the secondary cats are crooked enough that it makes mating the cats/midpipes to the rear section a chore and causes leaks at those couplers because of the extra stress on them. I've either got to take a chance on another pair of headers or have the flanges cut off and rewelded on mine.

No bleeping out, it would be a misinterpratation of the frustations of working on a small sports car!

I had none of these problems. The only problem I had was the flange bolts.... which seems pretty common.

Having said that: my Ebay exhaust has developed an annoying rattle, that's only getting worse. It's internal to the left muffler, so... not something I can chase away.
