$100 shipping?!? items where the shipping cost more are usually junky.

 

I wonder why it says 2 inch piping rather than 2.5 which seems to be in most other axlebacks on e-bay?

 

yea shipping cost more than the item. id scoop up a cheap axel back if i could pick it up locally though.

 

The shipping thing is kind of a weak arguement, because all of his exhausts ship out for 100 dollars.

Even the other types of exhausts that cost 150 dollars for other autos.

The guy has a good rating, too.

But again, weak arguement. heee

 

my advice is just save a buck and go get something with a name to back them up. example, greddy, jic, magnaflow, etc. not something that came up from my uncles house in Taiwan.

 

i picked up the tsudo ebay exhaust for like 140 shipped. It has been great and i noticed a difference on the butt dyno. Great starter exhaust so dont think the cheap ebay axlebacks are crap. Most everywhere are axlebacks anyway, very few cat-backs. How much for the product itself? If it cheap then the seller is just trying to cheat ebay out of its selling fees by making up the difference on shipping. The standard cost to ship one is about 40 bucks.

 

yeah Tsudo is a good brand to start of with. I know quite a few peeps that have'em. Try that exaust out and they got a pretty good name.

 

$100 shipping for a $75 is a big hell no, shipping is like taxes, hate to pay em, if he's local ill pick it up, if i dont like it, i'll sell it and charge $100 to ship and make money back

 

This one below, DC sports seems like a deal but I seem to hear things about rubbing melting shifting, and whatever.

Great price.

Its AMERICAN, right?

 

I just got a DC Sports exhaust on EbaY eXPRESS.

At least its a brand name.

 

shipping is the best/most messed up way to sell things on ebay.


shipping fee's are not paired in with the final value fee so any money they make off it does not get a chunk out of it from ebay. believe me it adds up.


just look at the total cost. not the shipping or the product cost alone.

TOTAL COST

 

Ya guys, its not "OMG this guy is rippin you off, he is charging 100 just for shipping!" this guy could be makin a living selling this stuff on ebay. By reducing the final value of the product he saves money by not entering the next price bracket, and there is the high shipping cost.

NEway, hope you like the exhaust.

 

Well, I feel that $250 total for a DC Sports Exhaust seems pretty worth my while.

That is the cheapest I have ever seen for a name I recognized.

 

if your willing to spend 250 just search the web. Ive found tanabe, borla, dc sports, etc... A lot of cat backs for under 300. Just browse dont rush.

 

Well, I have had the car for 2 years now and I am not rushing.

I did buy that DC for $250. He had the one left.

I have looked for quite a while and I don't think I have ever seen it this cheap.

Sometimes you can get some interesting bidding going but this is still pretty good with shipping.

I just hope I like the DC Sports exhaust.

What will my BLITZ induction cover think?

 

I have read some horror stories on SL but my other option would of been to get a BLitz style knock-off.

THe real thing is about 300 dollars. then shipping.


What axleback do you have GR?

 

i have the cheap tsudo one off ebay. I like it, its my first ever aftermarket exhaust. Its a starter. I plan on upgrading later next year to borla possible. I like the design, less scraping chance. But the tsudo works well for me, so i wont knock ebay stuff.

 

My first intake was e-bay generic and it was not great and I learned a lot.

But, because of that I hesitate.

However, I just bought those knock off e-sam visors on e-bay for 49 dollars total so I guess I will see what happens with them.

 

i agree i got the ebay special tsudo and i'm pretty happy with mine too
