Yeah, I had already made a post previously on this exhaust... Then I saw the outrageous shipping charges. There went that idea. eBay is supposed to have strict rules on people making money off shipping charges... Yeah right.

well if you look at it this way with you paying for shipping its the same price or a little bit cheaper than one not on ebay. I don't mind the price I just want to know is it good and not some crappy exhaust system. I'm sorry but i'm not much a fan of dual but if thats what I have to get then I will when I get my neon but I'm sorry I like the cannon style exhaust. so will it work?

just get an srt tip end which is a direct bolt on and swap it in yourself in under 10 minutes. then go down to muffler shop and have a glasspack welded in and call it a day is what i'd do

i had the nuespeed fart can for 2 years then i got over it and gave it to a friends with a jetta.. i just wanted to have the stock clean look.. and the srt cat-bak saved me from going back..im just letting you know that eventually you will get tired of it. anyways they set up looks good. and to get the most power out of it make sure its 2.5 pipes..

Actually I ran an EBAY business for a few years, technically all EBAY says is you must charge actual shipping for the products. So this means in order to jack up the price you need to call them handling charges.

Not at all, if you know what your doing you can make some decent money. Problem was I decided to go back to school in search of my BSIT. So basically I don't have time for it.

Maybe the exhaust system is worth a bit more than the buy-it-now price, but the seller shifted some of the cost over onto S&H to make the price appear cheaper. I see it on a lot of ebay auctions: take something like a cell phone faceplate. 20 cent buy-it-now price with $5.95 shipping and handling. I'm sure... for something that comes in a padded envelope.

He knows what he's talking about. It's pretty simple when it comes to ebay.
