Ok here is the story i bought exhaust off of ebay axle back nothing fancy just to get a laugh out of it. Well I received the axle back and the muffler looks like it hit every piece of pavement in PA. The dude is a local i'll leave his name out for now but probably will to let people know. so they can get more pics of every angle before purchasing from this dude. the reason i didn't is because it was so cheap and i didn't think anything of it.

tell me if you can see the dent in the ad picture. i didn't notice it when i glanced at it but once i took it out of the box i sure did lol and then after i gave it a little blue magic it really shows. needless to say it looks like ass on my car and i took it off the next day. There were no laughs btw :( lol

The exhuast has the clear look of it being drug by a car low to the ground those hard gouges that come from metal being drug against something solid and it looks like he backed into a curb at one point lol....no where in the ad did it say it was damaged. he claims it is something from fed ex tell me your opinion. does it look dented in the ebay listing. I think so after looking at the exact spot where it seems to be funky.

Get your pliers out and bend it right. This obviously isn't going on a show car or you wouldn't have bought an Ebay muffler. Sucks, but still works and who will see it?

The carbon fiber on the underside of my muffler has been scraped so many times that I could never sell it. Still flows good though, and that's all I care about.
