So with that said, I'm starting to guess that most of, if not all of, these test pipes on Ebay may be factory rejects due to minor issues or refurbs.

It's "possible", but I wouldn't assume that...

I bought a used set of Megan resonated pipes and have had 'em on for quite a while now with zero problems. I'd read about the cracking (from one member at the time), so during the install I made sure to loosen up the exhaust to line things up, then torqued everything down so as to avoid any stress on the pipes. Like the sound and power, especially in the higher RPMs. What I don't (didn't) like is the exhaust smell, but that goes away for the most part after a couple weeks.

I'll be picking up a set of HF cats soon and will be selling mine shortly. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.
