A GOOD proper set of DPs and TPs, you should just be able to bolt up starting at the turbos ALL the way back without having to worry about ANY fitment/aligntment issues whatsoever. If you install SpecialtyZ products... the exhaust will align properly all the way back, bolting it on the FIRST TIME... only thing you might have to do is adjust the mufflers a little as the hangers can allow for some slop and their weight will make them hang at an undesirable level...

Now as for the eBay pipes... I have NEVER been able to install them that way... NORMALLY, in order to get a good muffler aligntment angle, I have to bolt all of the pipes up VERY loosely... so they're all hanging... then go back and tighten them up from the BACK forward... i.e. start with the mufflers, then the H-Pipe, then the test pipes, THEN the DPs (DPs are always tightened to the turbos prior, but there was even one case when I had to loosen the damn DP there to get it to fit right).

For the price they can't be beat... but if you're looking for consistent quality every part... they're complete junk... Some of them I've had to literally pry on with a pry bar to get them just to line up to put a damn bolt through the holes... they're junk... but they work... so... make what you wish of them...
