used magnaflow cat-back for pr5 for $200. 2,000 miles. what do you guys think? sould i use the money for something else? (my car is stock except for cai.)
not sure why it's being sold and i haven't seen it yet .

Omron

buyer beware....

i would steer clear, just my thought,

mgs_freak

If that's really what you'd be getting, that's an awesome price and I'd use my $200 bucks for that. But like omron said, be careful. Definately get as much info as possible.

Beware of the magnaflow exhaust? thats very do-able if its cat-back and you install it yourself.... unless you guys are talking about the performance aspect?

Yeah, if the buyer is legit, that's not a bad price. They are about $350 new.
I'd want to see DETAILED pics unless it is someone you know or is a well-known member of a forum (this one or whichever...)

i think i'm going to pass on it. i saw pics but i don't know enough about exhausts to make a decision. if anyone is interested the posted it on msprotege. it's under the protege5 marketplace.
pm me and i can forward the pics.

kargoboy

Yeah, I went over and looked to see if I recognized the name. I don't care how much I wanted something, I personally would NEVER buy something from someone whose 1st post is "F/S xxx"

yup yup...those people I consider spammers...they are only there to sell their stuff and have no credability...look at that rx8 spoiler on m3 thread....that guy did the sam thing...acted like he was a new member with his first post being "how cool is this"., second post was..."I can get them for you if you'd like".

SPAMMER.

i thought it was pretty sketch. if it sounds to good to be true it probably is!
wow, i sound like my mom.

Sadly these people are everywhere. Some of us got burned on this very board back last October. I am out $70, and learned a lesson. Hopefully it will be the last time I have to learn that particular one.

i know of a couple people who are selling their magnaflows up here in vancouver.
(me not one of them though, i'm very happy with mine)

that 1st post and seeling something should be a big BIG warning sign though.

I buy nothing from a poster unless he's been on the boards at least a year and has more than 50 posts.

My bro bought that exhaust for his P5. The guy was legit. It was a good deal. he even had the decals and stuff in the box. He realized a P5 wasn't ever gonna satisfy his HP cravings and just switched to an RX8.

Rickman

from the protege5.com then Yup, he was legit.


It's in great shape, and the seller was a breeze to work with.


Here's a link to the original thread I got it from:

You guys missed out on a super deal here.
