it's become common practice for sellers on e-bay to put huge prices on their lower cost products so when you sort with highest price first (like I always do) their product is at the top of the list.

That's priced like that for a reason. It's because they don't have any in stock so they know someone won't buy it at that price.

Repoast..

money laundering is to get rid of fake money, not sell parts for 20x its value, lol

That's the crasiest thing ever plus it's not even a dual exhaust with headers. I think the kicker is free shipping....

I've noticed this type of thing on a few other ebay items where the price should be $159.99 but shows as $1599.99. Could it be a bug on ebay for relisted items?

Exactly! At that price, I expect to at least get a french maid, free BJs, a lifetime warranty, and more free BJs; included with the purchase.

I guess that means the economy, fixed it's transmission problem and added some nitrous. Because there are people out there buying exhaust pipes for 5k

I am looking at buying an aftermarket exhaust on my 1997 maxima GXE. Will this Greddy Spectrum Elite exhaust fit on my GXE even though it says it's made for the SE? http://greddy.com/products/exhausts/...del:Maxima+SE/

Okay, thanks man. I just wanted to be sure because i thought the SE, GLE, and GXE were all the same when it came to exhaust but I wasn't positive. Thanks again, though.

IMO, only people that are planning on going FI need an exhaust for their cars. If you just want a better sounding system then get a new muffler. There is hardly any gain at all from changing the cat-back portion. Y-pipe, yes. Cat clogged, sure...get a new one. But you aren't doing a damn thing to help your car if you fork over $500 for a custom exhaust and you never mod your car past a y-pipe, 00VI, and maybe a 3.5 swap too.

Anything more then $500 for a catback is ridiculousness regardless of the brand. Pick a muffler, get a friend or a shop to bend you some pipe, 2.5" or 3" weld the muffler on the pipe, hang it, crack open a beer and call it a day.

I have no problem doing an exhaust the custom way vs bolt on out of the box. Everyone buying a cookie cutter Cattman just kinda seemed boring to me. Sure Cattman is great, but that doesn't mean a Greedy, Apexi, AEM, or any other muffler with the proper made piping can't be equally as good if not better.

Custom piping? Buy muffler? Just save your money.... Stock exhaust is cheaper. just do what my buddy did and torch the ok nside of the muffler. Its free...

I cancelled my order for the Pacesetter exhausts as I want something a little more unique and rare for my daily driver and my boosted 99.

Check out this uber rare 4" Amuse full Titanium Catback... it costs $2700.... I ordered two of these instead, with the Full Burn Type C



Amuse took it 1 step further by letting the end consumer determine how much blue-ing(burn), if any, you want on the canister body and tip(as you can see in the pics). They offer 3 different options to fit your personal taste when it comes to that:

Type A - No Burn
Type B - Partial Burn
Type C - Full Burn

That ones nice, I was thinking of getting that one but volks instead, let me know when you get it. My brother has it on his 370z but I want to hear it on the daily driver. If it sounds good i'll get one. Where did you order it?

Okay, if not the greddy exhaust,
Does anyone know anything about the JDM SRS exhaust? http://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-SRS-CATB...#ht_2078wt_678
Is it good and worth the money or garbage?

And what about the Megan Racing exhaust?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Megan-Racing...item45f2a21d07
Good or bad?
