Has anyone bought any pars from these lot?

I need a new exhaust pipe for a 2006 Honda Accord. Honda want £500 for it. Whereas these have a pattern part for £71. I could fit 7 of these for the price of one Honda one so what's the catch? It is post cat so nothing to worry about emissions wise.

Any experience?

But can you be bothered to refit it 7 times?

The stuff on there is way too cheap. I bought an idle valve from a similar seller (Worldcarparts.co.uk - wouldn't surprise me if they are one and same thing) and it was £200 at the dealer, or £50 from them. It had no manufacturers markings on it and lasted 3 months. Chinese pattern rubbish.

Agreed with the above - it's the cheapest no-name copied crap from China. Chances are with the exhaust it won't fit right anyway, as they're fabricated so quickly and cheaply they never quite match up.

I'd have a look on eBay/carparts4less for a used OE one or at least decent-name replacement.

Thanks chaps. Have check ECP and the like and there doesn't seem to be a decent pattern part. Buggered if I am handing over 500 notes for the Honda one though.

Good idea about Ebay for secondhand one hadn't thought of that.

The hole isn't that big. Could probably get a second hand welder and a welding course for less than the price of the Honda unit!

That place is a rip-off... they want £58 + delivery for a Volvo V40 back box and I paid £39 delivered off eBay... thing looked like it had been welded by a 5 year-old though (which probably isn't far from the truth!)
