Before you even read the rest, YOU FLAME YOU DIEZZZZ! I already know what I'm getting myself into with this exhaust. It's the same exact thing as Tsudo just with a different name badge on it. Plus, I have a couple things in mind for down the road (similar for what I did with the tC.) Now, moving on.

I'm basically looking at these two sales on eBay. I just need your help to choose which one.

1) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-97-98-99-00-HONDA-CIVIC-EX-2-4DR-BBP-CATBACK-EXHAUST_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem518c10eb57QQitemZ350242270039QQptZRaceQ5fCarQ5fParts

Good ol' eBay. The description matches it perfectly, no complaints about that or the pics. However, the seller's feedback is a little iffy, which is the part that I'm worried about. I don't want to order what is supposed to be a BBP exhaust and end up with a generic eBay POS. But, keep in mind that this SAME exact system is ~50 cheaper.

2) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CIVIC-92-93-94-95-96-97-98-99-00-JDM-N1-CATBACK-EXHAUST_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5ad595f911QQitemZ390130432273QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Speed-Element. We all know them, they have a good rep, and I've already bought from them before. (On a side note, I'm going through their website so it's 160, not 180.) The description matches, I have the security and peace of mind that I KNOW I'm getting the right product and customer service out of this. But, is knowing that REALLY worth the extra $50?

Now, which one do I shoot for? And remember, no commenting about "Oh it's an eBay POS!" I've already done my research, and asked my questions from sellers/buyers. I just need to know if the peace of mind is worth the $50.

if its iffy, do you want to take a chance? and are you willing to go through the trouble if something goes wrong?

i say spend the extra 50 for a sure thing! go with speed element since you have already delt with them in the past!

also i like the picture of the exhaust on the coupe, it looks nice and tucked in! lol

ive dealt with both before Option when i got my megan oe-rs yrs ago and they sent it perfectly fine with no problems watsoever.

and ive dealt with speed element when i bought my megan header for 100 shipped!

both are fine IMO

I could have sworn I said NOT to say anything about the product, but once again, scion life seizes to amaze me. One reason why I'm comsidering option is not only because of the cheaper price, bit also because Eamon has already gone through them before and his experience was just fine.

he owns a honda thats why. why is there a need to be a ____? bc ur a supermod? especially since he did make the thread in "ALL OTHER VEHICLES-concepts and NONtoyotas"

funny how you also just broke a rule that you urself should be enforcing.

1. I will keep my posts relevant and helpful.

I'd go with the cheaper, but pay with a credit card instead of Paypal, that way if if things go bad it should be easier to recover your payment. I haven't heard anything good with Paypal if the seller decides to do something below level.

uhh.. i moved it to this forum genius.

and i did give my opinion as well. i said neither.

12-15-2009, 08:30 PM
you moved it? now i say sorry to that.

but again what would it matter if this is a scion forum and hes talking bout a honda? he owns a scion and is asking for peoples opinions. just bc your a supermod you can be a ____head?

but i guess u missed this part aswell

1. I will keep my posts relevant and helpful.

12-15-2009, 08:34 PM
again... he posted it in the wrong forum and i pointed that out prior to me moving it.
and how is answering his question by saying neither not being relevant and helpful?

rosedaleny806
12-15-2009, 08:36 PM
neither.

and why am i looking at civic exhausts? is this a honda forum?


no need for the remark, cause then if thats the case, every thread i go to ill give sumthing relevant to the thread and then add my irrelevant remarks afterwards.

and then i wont get banned or warned cause ofcourse a supermod did the same, so im learning to do the same by example

12-15-2009, 08:39 PM
relevancy came from him posting in the wrong forum area as he posted in the tC section. are you done?

No, not really, just thought I would pretend like it did to seem smart or something. Did the exhaust get bought yet?
