eBay exhaust?

Colorado Olds · 02-09-2008, 01:31 PM

We will have to be buying a new exhust system for the F85 before we get it on the road. Anyone have any clue whether looking to eBay is smart, or just plain dumb? Found this:

This looks like a dual exhaust, which Josh would really like, but my question really has to do with quality, and reputability of buying an exhaust system over eBay.

Buy It Now for $250 sounds pretty good, on the surface.

I would be wary of pre-ordered exhaust. I have never purchased exhaust before through the mail (either from a catalago or from E-bay). However, I don't think the price is low enough to justify taking the chance that you get a poor product. You can always find an exhaust shop in town that will do it reasonably. Plus, you might find a good shop that offers a warranty.
