They work fine just need a thicker coat of paint on them.

It's a muffler. Pretty low tech. Unless they are made of cardboard, they will work.

Ive bought lots on ebay. Do my muffler mod and sell. They seem to work plenty good enough

I've bought several knock-off mufflers for saws and they all worked good..

They work just fine, I mean how hard can it be to get a sheet metal box wrong?
Well to be honest- they can manage that- usually mounting holes that do not line up or partial port covering.

Just be aware- usually they are not restricted at all internally- so you need to tune the saw to suit the muffler.
