Never buy anything from Ebay, most on there are cheap things made in China and are crap, not what you want is a fuel pump.

Get one from Demon Tweeks, they never sell anything from China

If you buy a new stereo will it sound louder?

Just like your question nobody can answer that question without more details. You need to at least narrow it down to a make and model of pump, and then there should be a current spec vs. Fuel pressure spec available.

Absolutely no point changing from an OEM fuel if you are not running more than standard power.

The walbro fuel pump is loud
