Anyone install the eBay Tanabe knock-off?!

I was just plyaing around on eBay looking for an axle-back Tanabe exhaust for my 10' G37 coupe and saw this replica exhaust. Has anyone actually installed one on their ride? You can get for under $300 shipped... This link has 2 actual videos if the exhaust installed and did not actually sound half bad, I know it's no Tanabe..

Kind of mixed reviews on these.. Might do better with a used Tanabe set if I can find one...

I have that EXACT setup on my coupe, no other mods.

Sound is GREAT (!!!!), you're going to want to find city streets and tunnels as often as possible.

Looks great too. Fit was right on, but I fiddled a bit with the brackets to tuck it up higher so it really fits tight in the cutouts. Walls of the tips a really thick, have a nice expensive quality look to them, IMO.

Be warned:
1) Drones a bit when cruising (7AT).
2) Your MPG will suffer because you'll be flooring it ALL the time LOL.

Here's a fly-by sound sample on my car (0 to 110 ish):
