The ebay no name one looks like a replica made in China. May not have the same sound/quality, but who can tell unless they inspect it?

Since neither probably add much power anyway might as well go with the knock-off. Once it starts to get dirty no one will know anyway unless the sound is just horrendous... It would be cool if you could hear one some how.

but you surely picked something that is a TANABE wanna be....

I would say Tanabe for fit, finish, and build quality. The other exhaust is made by a company called TopSpeed. They make headers, exhausts, and other car parts in China. The overall quality is acceptable, price is affordable, and fitment is pretty good. I know because I used to have my TSX and they made a header for the TSX. Many people on the TSX Forum had the TopSpeed header installed no problem, and felt a decent improvement in acceleration as well. So it all really depends on your preference and budget.
