Getting it off eBay comes with some risk. If he or she is a verified seller by PayPal then you can opt for an additional couple of bucks (5-10) for a money back guarantee. If dude screws you or you are not satisfied in some way with the product PAYPAL will give you your money back and then they will fight with the seller about it. But beware because unless it is galvanized or stainless steel through the whole unit it will rust and that'll cause problems later on such as holes in your exhaust.But in all honesty, N1 exhausts are worthless. Your car isn't putting out enough exhaust to necessitate the N1 unless you have a big turbo or a supercharger. In fact, loud exhausts such as the N1 are not only annoying to everyone around you, but you will begin to regret it soon as well. I had a Skunk2 exhaust on my Integra for a long time and it was cool for the first month. After that it annoyed me as much as everyone else.If you are set on an exhaust and you can save your money for awhile buy a twin loop exhaust system. See the link below for a picture of a muffler off one. These systems accomplish two things. One it passes your exhaust through the muffler twice. Essentially it puts two muffles on your system without the extra space. This brings the exhaust sound down to a little quiter level although still very noticable.The second thing accomplished is it lengthens your exhaust system. Due to the doppler effect the exhaust note will be a lower tone (if you are musically inclined it'll take your exhaust down about half an octave). Have you ever listened to a ice cream truck as it drive by (or an ambulance). When it drive by you all of a sudden the sound of the music or siren gets lower. That is because the sound waves are now being stretched out in frequency because the source of the sound is moving away. A twin loop exhaust system will do something similar.. the exhaust gets baffled and slowed in your muffler on the first pass. On the second pass it gets slowed again and this spaces out the frequency of the tone of the engine and makes a lower note. Makes your car sound more powerful in my opinion.Anyway, good luck with it.

First off, it is not a N1 exhaust. It will say N1 style exhaust which means it looks like it. And no, they are cheap and useless. If you do decide to buy make sure you pay only through paypal and keep all records of the transaction. Happy shopping

Save your money and buy from a respected company like Greddy, Skunk2, Invidia, etc. That way you know you have the quality to make sure it fits right and sounds good. Nothing like spending your money on an expensive POS to make you rethink a decision.
