Terrible waiting experience ordering FI exhaust through private party

mishuko · 08-07-2015, 07:52 AM

ouch that sucks... this was my major hesitation for buying used especially since the used parts market in canada isn't as vast as the southern brothers.

if it had a hole in it i would have opt'd for a new one. who knows what other damages that you can't see have happened during his ownership.

yeah if there were actually a hole in the exhaust I would have told him get it fixed and maybe I'd do $750 shipped if he were lucky..

But at that point its easier just to throw another $250 and get a new one.

Went through some bumps, a week went by while exhaust was at repair shop to repair a hole. Never got done so I just had him ship it. Finally claimed to have shipped this past Tuesday but have yet to receive tracking despite numerous replied saying he will get it to me. Coming from Tennessee to Maryland. I expected it to have arrived today. Tomorrow is the last day it should take to arrive 3 states away. If it doesn't come tomorrow I'm filing this claim and giving up.

Just needed to vent. Seller can't claim to be busy all this time for the delay, especially when you owe me a product that I paid a thousand bucks for.

Thanks for reading

like waiting for the restroom when you have to take a crap?

Beautiful Analogy Mr. kenchan

The hole was due to extra O2 bung. Anyways I did not receive it today and claim has been opened. Got 10 days. Which is too long I just want my money back now.

I can understand that, they gotta wait to see if it shows up within a certain amount of time before they refund your money and then go after the seller through collections to get the 1k they paid you.

Just try and be patient and start searching for your exhaust. Maybe this will help?

Thanks I had already sent him a pm. I may just go with the aam mid pipe option to go with the short tails. It will be the 2.5 inch pipe I'm looking for anyways.

I have the short tails on my Z right now and they give some very nice sound along with the fact you're also pulling a muffler delete. More open ended sound.

At that point you may have a couple buts for some good HFC's and headers

I already have hfc, no plans on headers though. After my exhaust is done, I'm focusing on saving for this csc/clutch
