I just purchased this Stainless flexpiped Grimmspeed Up Pipe from EBay. Has anyone used this before. The quality seems fair, theres a year warranty and it came with all new gaskets and hardware for the install, as well as two capped ports for either an o2 or external wastegate and dump pipe. Specifications:
2" (51mm) Piping
1-7/8" (48mm) Inside Diameter
3/8" (9.5mm) Thick Flanges

What does the inside of that flex look like? Cheap ones get pretty narrow inside, choking flow.

It's not so much the cheap flex as it is the 2.5"+ diameter.

Just an fyi, Ebay Up pipes also have a tendency to have warped flanges that don't seal properly on the manifold and turbo's. Even worse is if they do mate up and have cheap welds which snap under load.
