I tried to do local pick up on these exhaust cause the shipping price is ridiculous.

The seller said:

"We do have local pick ups, but you'll still have to pay shipping."

Am I crazy or does that make any sense at all?

the shipping is part of the profit.. ebayers selling shoes have been doing this for a while.. its to pad the bottom line in case the bid isnt high enough or to make the buyitnow price seem lower

i do know that shipping is a BIG part of their profit, but pick up and paying full price shipping? Perhaps a discount at least?

Its the eGay scam of making an item seem lower and price and making the money in the shipping...

Default got it on

i got it put on yesterday and so far im happy with the set up. I forgot my camera so i could not get any on the car pics but i did take one once i got the stock stuff off. It is pretty loud but no rasp and a little of the "can" sound but not bad. around 2000-300 rpm its pretty quit so not bad for cruzin. everything fit well also.
