Default used vs new catback opinion

I saw a great deal on a used catback, but I'm hesitant to buy something that substantial used. What do you all think?

I like new stuff cause it usually has a warranty (sometimes lifetime) and if it breaks you can blame the manufacturer.

Used has the price advantage, but if it breaks, your pretty much screwed.

What do you all think the risk or downside is in a used catback. I guess one advantage is that its already broken in.

What kinda used exhaust? And how long was it on? I really don't see any issues buying used when it comes to exhuast... shouldn't have any issues. I bought my JBA system used... my only issue with it is that it doesn't line up perfectly... but one day I'll take it to an exhaust shop to get that straight. Oh and everyone has this issue with JBA systems, new or used.

As long as its a stainless system i dont think used is to much of an issue. If its aluminizaed it could be rusted out inside though.

It's a Borla 125, with 25K miles on it (which is less miles than my stock, so that's good I guess)
