Question Just bought HKS Hi-per Racing exhaust

I just bought a HKS Hi-per exhaust off of ebay for $500, it is supposed to be the titanium one. I am curious on anyone elses view on it. It has 102mm piping with a 170mm muffler.

Thanks,
Dustin

The one that had the pic of the third gen install from a seller with zero feedback? The guy that said "no pics bitch" when I asked him for pics on the stuff he was selling. I hope you paid thru ecsrow. Let us know if you get your stuff. Whole deal smelled fishy to me. All his stuff was internet catalog pics. Good luck John

I emailed the guy and am hoping everything is cool. I asked him if it is the actual HKS Titanium exhaust and if he could send pics. I noticed the pics of the third gen but didn't ask for pics. I am hoping for the best on this one. I have yet to send money.

I would seriously use an ESCROW service for this one it'll cost you a few dollars but it will protect you from losing your 500 dollars. The reply I got when I asked for pics made sure I would not do business with him.

That page will explain everything. You can still get screwed, but it is a lot harder. Good luck

Read my thread in the lounge concerning this guy. I don't have anything against this guy; he just seems to have ALL the parts we want, but no actual pictures of the parts in his possesion. All the pics are catalog pics.

The HKS hiper is rare and beautiful...the way to go for that JDM feel that is so popular these days. Some might call the JDM look ricey, but when I was in Tokyo my jaw was on the FLOOR at all the incredible FC's. Titanium mufflers are really nice, I put a few HKS titaniums on a coulpf of WRX's...HKS always fits like a glove, enjoy!!!!

I emailed him and told him to ship COD and he replied:
"I'll............."

So I guess we will see from there. Any feedback on that idea?

COD sounds good. I think paypal has a way to get your funds back somehow if your not satisfied too though.

Whats wrong with COD? The delivery service won't give the person the item without receiving cash right?

Check this crap out. He is selling the turbo twice too. Looks like someone else didn't fall for his "apparent" scam.

Damn, thats messed up. Is there anything that can be done to prevent anyone else getting screwed. I am glad I did not send money. I am sure to leave negative feedback.

Thanks guys,
Dustin

Dustin, I would contact EBAYS Fraud department and give them all correspondance this guy has sent you. As a community we can help stop this kind of BS. He wont return any of my emails asking about his stuff. hmm wonder why?

If it is too good to be true it probably is!!!

Ebays fraud department (safe harbor) is a JOKE!! I got screwed out of an '89 intake over a year ago and all I got from them is they tried to email the guy that screwed me and he never emailed them back so they closed my case.

Its Ebays ballgame, follow thier rules and keep trying. Everyone has a bad experience sometime. Did you file a claim with USPS?, PAYPAL? Share your experience with other forum members to stop this guy from ripping off others?
