Default Fake Invidia

hello all, I have been on CL for awhile back when i had a ucf10.I've had a 07 gs for a while now and have started tinkering on it. I'm looking for an invidia mid pipe but was only able to find on ebay and a couple on amazon. On my subaru i knew there were a ton of fake chinese knock offs. I was able to buy one in person luckily in the east bay, but none local for my GS. So are fake invidia mid pipes common for lexus? Can anyone recommend a reputable seller, whether on ebay or anywhere else. Any help appreciated thanks.

I'd stay away from eBay and find some authorized dealers here on ClubLexus or check out the classified. If the price is too good to be true, then it probably is FAKE.

for our 2GS many companies make less expensive cat backs and axle back exhausts... Many of us are happy spending $350 instead of $1100 for an exhaust and fitment is pretty decent... no issues with my TopSpeedPro stuff.. They also make 3GS exhaust as well... your choice

Thanks for all the replies, ended up getting a hold of invidia they gave me a reputable dealer on eBay got the mid pipe shipped for 385. Already arrived looks great just waiting on my q300 mufflers to match and then I'm set.
