ok, i went to church today for the first time in a LONG time cause i amd done my exams. so i went and i met a guy there who owned a prelude. so we started talking and i asked him about his car and the things he did to it... then i asked him which type of muffler i should get, the whole system that is not just the tip, and he told me stillen... then he went on saying that if i decided to get one, to give him a call and he could get me one for 600 dollars... i have no idea the pricing for a stillen muffler system, so i am just wondering if he is trying to jip me or not.
thanks

If you have the patience, wait for the GReddy system. $600 does sound steep for that muffler.

Before anyone asks, I don't remember how much it was.

i think the stillen muffler is around $550 from stillen...if you want a b-pipe (to make it a full catback system) that will cost extra...and if you want a y-pipe, that will cost extra...see if it is just the muffler he is selling...if it is, he is trying to jip you..find out what he's selling and give stillen a call to see what their actual price is (check http://www.stillen.com for the #)

i think he is gunna sell me the whole system.. cause he said it would cost me around 900 for the whole thing, but he could get it for me for 600 instead... so i think he meant the whole thing... so lookin at 900 bucks i dunno what that would get me.. but saving 200 bucks is good to me

Go to his car and bash his car for jipping you so much that it's not even funny.

First of all, Stillen DOES NOT MAKE b-pipe for 5th gen maximas, anyone who tries to sell you the "cat-back"from Stillen for 5th gen max, they are mistaken with the "rear" exhaust system only, which it's only the muffler.

And the price on the Stillen muffler is around $550 like burner said.

Good Luck
Tim
