Considering you can get BMW knock-offs by EMGO for $149 per pair from Omar's,I'd think twice...unless of course you can get them for $22.

That almost sounds too good to be true, to get a set for under $100 plus shipping? That has to be poor quality. I would stay away from anything, where the seller does not state who the manufacturer is. Sounds fishy...

considering the large number of sales he has made, his feedback is good. I went back 5 pages on him. I buy and sell alot on E-Bay, if you like the mufflers buy them. the price seems very fair. good luck Kenny...

I see 2 issues here.
1. The seller does not bother to say what make they are, even though almost every exhaust manufacturer will have put some sort of emblem, logo or name on their products. The manufacturer is very easy to find from the logos.
2. He is adamant that he will not ship outside the U.S. which means to me that he is to lazy to do so. The actual process is extremely painless at the local post office.
As for his price, well, you get what you pay for.

Almost look like eary Luftmiester.
No packing is shown.
You can get stainless steel wool from McMaster-Carr
or fiberglass matting from an auto body supply house.
I would go with them. Hey! if you get three to five years
you are not hurt.

Emgos look and fit right. BUT ,depending on the climate you live in, they will degrade faster then OEM. Chrome is thin. They will freshen up the look of your bike.
I'd say go for the pipes on eBay at the price. They may in fact, be Luftmiester as one poster suggests. Will the seller allow returns? That is a consideration.
My next mufflers will be stainless; more expensive up front but long lasting.

I've purchased many BMW parts from MotoGoDojo and he's honest and very easy to work with.
