Default Easy relace cv joint boots, do they work good?

1997 1981 Chrysler GM Toyota CV Boot Kit ft Rear Outer | eBay

planning to get this but wondering if they work well? it doesnt seem like its a complete seal by the looks of it but it sure would be SO much easier installing this rather than an oem cv joint boot.... i would think that the grease would just fling out while im on the highway with these ebay cv joint boots? maybe someone here has these ebay cv joint boots on their car and can confirm that they are good

i think you made a mistake and left out NOT..

i guess i wont use them then.. i wonder how many kms i can get out of these axles until they start clicking with the torn boots.. i know they got torn around 500kms ago which isnt too long.. not sure if i should get it replaced or just drive as is... hmm hard decisions..

The 2 piece boots don't seal well and loose all their grease, returning you to the original issue of under-lubricated cv joints
